"It is now five years later, and at the beginning of this new year, I feel frustrated that we know how to move towards a better, fairer, healthier, cleaner, and greener planet. However, we seem to be in a destructive cycle of running steadily further behind on what we should do while the masses run behind incompetent leaders with divisive agendas."
This, more than anything. I have always believed in hope, but watching 10,000+ children die at the hands of a madman my government supports has broken me. This has changed me and I'm working hard to determine how best to heal and move forward. My entire life has been spent walking among and on the fringes of the wealthy. I can see how this happened. I cannot see how to fix it.
I can so well understand how you must feel. Add to it a permanent feeling of guilt for living my wonderful life, while knowing what is happening just a few hours flying from here.
Anthony Blinken, actual 2024 US Secretary of State in his Davos symposium answers to Thomas Friedman, the NYT journalist, today expressed that leadership and leaders are an essential asset for a new and diplomatic compromise between people, countries and the rise of democracy.
Your newsletter stresses that same important principle everywhere possible.
It informs me about the candidates in the US 2024 election.
Plus it gives me homework since I read constitutional, historical and actual general information about the different states.
You also write infos about Trump that I came to despise and cut off
Both of you and Blinken are my heroes of the day !
“Mutual interest for a better future”; wouldn’t it be miraculous for the trillionaires to share a bit of their absurdly excessive wealth for the improvement of the lives of the most impoverished who did not choose to be born into impossible poverty with no road to economic equality? 🥲
I never understand why those ultra-rich do not even share more of their huge incomes with the people that make the income for them. Why not raise wages, improve working conditions, invest in your own employees happiness? They can do all that and still remain a billionaire. With only some 80 years to live on this planet, how much do you really need for your own happiness? Even from a purely selfish perspective, I believe my personal happiness as a billionaire would increase if I knew that my money would have made life better for many others. It may be part of the explanation why I'm still not a billionaire, but I keep writing my stories... ;-)
Thanks Lizzie, I just looked with a mixture of sadness and fascination to interviews with Trump supporters. It feels like they live on a different planet, like people who joined a religious cult; will they ever see that the emperor wears not clothes?
