On a purely personal note, I find Vivek Ramaswamy completely unattractive and I don't mean physically. He is a typical ego-driven candidate who finds out that his line of bull puckey isn't going well. So he backsteps without changing his statement, claims he was misunderstood, worries about context for his remarks. He insults women constantly and not just those with whom he disagrees. This guy shouldn't even be vice-president let alone president.
I finished the quilting today while watching a couple of episodes of "The Great." I have read biographies of Catherine the Great but my husband has not. I doubt that anyone would describe this show as a true biography but certainly a fair amount of the events shown did happen.
Happy Labor Day! We are not a country that celebrates work except for rewarding high income people with reduced taxes. Labor Day arose when labor started to have more power. Now even progressives suppress labor unions and we still reward high income people with lower taxes. We scorn people who do not work but we ignore the concerns of those who do work.These days that ignorance extends beyond the blue collar laborer to many in white collar jobs. There is something wrong with a country that celebrates Trump, a man who wouldn't know which end of the shovel did the work, but scoffs at low income people who hope for better lives.
