Frances,

The public reaction to the assassination of the CEO of a health insurance company can't be ignored or trivialized.

The shooter is not a hero. We can't go killing people who cross us.

The income and healthcare disparity must be addressed because the costs of not doing so run high.

The political Right offers no solution, and the Left is Robin Hood. There are solutions where all win or appreciably improve from before.

Many Democrats are insufficiently bold in their ideas and actions. Raising minimum wages and corporate taxes will little change conditions. Focus on protecting jobs instead of people is the wrong preparation for the future with a ton of difficulties and opportunities.

Many thanks. Best.
