I’m enjoying this book so much. It’s giving me a way to critique the world situation in a more humane and occasionally funny way, for myself that is. Aoko Matsuda’s The Woman Dies. Can’t wait to read her earlier book, Where the Wild Ladies Are.

Just read Ingeborg Bachmann’s The Honditsch Cross: A Tale of 1813 published by New Directions. It’s amazing how history repeats itself. Although, the story takes place during the Battle of Leipzig, the trials and tribulations of regular folks never change.

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Farm workers unearthed these potatoes with heavy machinery. They’ll now be cleaned and sorted by hand for size and quality before being bagged or sent to cold storage for future packaging and shipping.

Yum tamales! This worker is hand weeding organic corn. Organic produce can be labor intensive because no pesticides are used to control weeds.

This Monterey Mushroom facility has a strong union contract. The good union wages and benefits make for low overturn, which makes for extremely skilled workers like this.
