On the board, while getting Vit D in the yard.
In the Introduction of Matt Taibbi's 2014 The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap, I noticed this phrasing:
"We have a profound hatred of the weak and poor, and a corresponding groveling terror before the rich and successful, and we are building a bureaucracy to match those feelings."
However, I'd like to propose that we are, and must adjust to do the following:
We have a profound love for the weak and poor, and a corresponding disdain for the corrupt rich and successful, and we are removing the bureaucracy and building a foundation to act for good.
Thankful to many like Matt and Glenn and Tim and James who are doing and have done powerful and difficult journalistic work for years and decades.

Hey, what's up everybody. This is Erik. Glad you're here. Go ahead and check out everything we're doing, from my fiction, book reviews, book clubs, and of course, some writing courses as well for some of my friends, maybe we'll see—anyway, join the conversation and look out for upcoming events. I'll talk to you soon. Invite your friends (if you want to), because it makes it better when there's more of us like-minded folks around. Okay. Talk to you soon. Take care. Welcome to Esoterik. Let's do this.
