Yeah
I’m still here about to get pissed off about this latest front page
lead story of the NY Times. “U.S. WINDS DOWN LONGER BENEFITS FOR THE
JOBLESS. Checks stopping early. Hundreds of thousands of out of work
Americans are about to see their final checks. Then how they manage to
survives is their little own business. If you jump over to the Business
Section of the paper you’ll find a different story.
Here
a Mr. Picard is paying off for the Trustee ($850 an hour) How can we
believe this shit? On the one hand we don’t have a nickel for a guy who
has been out of a job and there don’t seem to be any and a guy who is
making $850 an hour just recovering stolen money. Don’t you find
something wrong with this picture?
Of
course you do. Its just unfair and it continues to play out in this
land of unfettered capitalism. And until my last breath I’m keeping
carping away at it.

Of course Robert you know that we homo sapiens are creative and devious, and that as neatly as we design systems to regulate our affairs, someone always seems to be there to take advantage via a loophole. That's why watchdogs/reformers like you are and always have been so important. In the civil rights movement, the labor movement, the feminest movement, gay rights, etc., it's always been the same issue, fighting to extend fundamental equality for another segment of the population. You have been there for years and years, you have been fighting the good fight and you've contributed greatly to the cause of human dignity. Now it's our turn, all of us, in this time of your rest to redouble our own efforts for "liberty and justice" for all. We learned from you and will carry on.
A bear hug for you.
