NYT: The 'Chilling' Fatal Shooting of a C.E.O. Has Business Leaders on Edge

[Midnight Writer]

17. I'm on edge because billionaires want to take my Social Security and Medicare.

I'm on edge because I had loved ones who have died because they had no insurance and no money.

I'm on edge because people around me are living in poverty and blaming it on immigrants and minorities.

I'm on edge because I know my children and grandchildren will never have the opportunities I had because narcistic billionaires are sucking all the money out of the economy.

I'm on edge because billionaires have bought the ruling Party of our government and are weaponizing it against regular folk like me and my loved ones.

I'm on edge because corporations screw me every day so that their filthy rich investors will make more money.

I'm on edge because I see the homeless in the streets, the working folk lining up at the local food bank, the young workers in despair because their full-time jobs do not cover basic living expenses.

All this in the richest nation by far in the history of the world. A rising tide does not lift all boats. The big boats swamp and sink the little boats.

I'm on edge every day because I see my country and its people being raped by powerful people who don't give a tinker's turd how much pain and suffering their greed causes for others.
