2016 Postmortem

(3,811 posts)111. Guess what? Millions of people in this country work hard
and struggle and sacrifice and risk and never find a payoff. Millions more aren't physically, emotionally, or intellectually able to "make it" in this needlessly unforgiving society we've created.

I'm not satisfied.
