The child, like the artist, asks, “Why?” and, “How?” and interrupts, “But…”

But, Why? The artist asks. And, What can be done about it? What are the possibilities? What if?

We don’t talk about just how many things Reagan broke nearly enough.
The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

He helped build the anti-vaccine movement. RFK Jr. just hired him.
