I am a state of Minnesota employee currently building a new government program (Paid Family Medical Leave). We are 100% state funded, so for the time being we feel safe. But, people all around me are in jobs funded by federal programs. They are scared. The system we are building has interfaces with federally funded systems. We are concerned about those systems & the future of that data. It’s going to take more than some yelling at GOP senators in town halls & the continued courage of Bernie & AOC to quell my dismay. We will keep building. But, it is far more difficult to build than to tear down.
having a hard time locating that place to stick, but I appreciate the effort here, not to mention the Wolfeiana - absolutely correct, gone! read/listened to Kershaw’s Hitler double header this summer, made for many glum afternoon walks, but appreciate your disentangling German 30s from today - as you say, many similarities, many differences too - but the sheer power of money, greed, and grandiosity in T and M, is a momentum I find concerning, that and the learned and web-enabled conspiracy kayfabe that deeply dyes the trumpers - hang in there!
This is magnificent. I feel my courage renewed. I have never read Thomas Wolfe, but I will now.
