I’d love to see the workers honored also, the ones who stocked the shelves and whose bosses bet on how many would die, who kept us (and the healthcare workers) going. These are the ones Trump and McConnell are screwing over. I’d like to make a point about the $10 an hour, screwed over class Biden must help.

First woman VP. First African-American VP. First Asian-American VP. Lots of glass ceilings broke with her election. Going to be tough to choose this year,

It’s not always a person, is it? I remember it being the computer one year.

There is absolutely nothing more influential this year than Covid Virus.

That includes healthcare workers and a lot of other folks with whom we cannot do without.
