Change Happens

Change isnt coming, its here.

Our economy and society are in the midst of a change, from our understanding of the value of labor, education and each other to the true value of money and vile and horrible people have been in control for way to long.

Instead of a steady and gradual effort, ours is sudden and somewhat violent change that comes from sudden shifts in how our society functions.

The stock market is climbing, despite 70,000 dead, still in the grip of a pandemic and tens of millions unemployed.
Its lost its value as an indicator of economic stability (not that it really was but it was perceived as such) and as our way of valuing our economy and companies.

Nurses, teachers, food servers and grocery store workers and many others are being seen as people, as critical components of our society, instead of secondary players of little consequence.

Change is here. Its for good or bad is yet to be seen but the world is changing before our eyes.

all the so called Stimulus Money makes it way to Wall Street as predicted weeks ago.

Once that free money stops flowing to the 1%,then it tips over and heads south.
