Really sad times in my opinion. We are woefully unprepared for any serious conflict and all the big bosses can care about is the stock market and money and how the economy is effected. And then the one candidate of change Bernie is destroyed by peoples love to blame Trump for all the problems of America - but Trump is a symptom of a deep pain festering in our world. While we are here in Maine teaching Yoga teaching special ed growing food engaging with community building trying our best our peers from our privileged backgrounds are working in real estate, marketing, computer engineering, banking, perpetuating this horrible system that will continue to put people into systems of degradation, of class ism, poverty and abuse and an unwillingness to address core problems. (like how hundreds of millions are paid dollars a day to produce the consumer goods of the US, and how the US doesn't give a damn and loves to trade with China, Russia, Saudia Arabia who are all literally dictators and all anyone cares about on the power top is GDP. And on this thread the Trumpers want to worship him like he is a perfect God of compassion and wisdom). Things are not good and I truly believe that the suffering will only get worse before it gets better.
It is such a precious planet we are all so lucky to be here and I cannot get over the shock that this is how we choose to treat each other and have for thousands of years, Christianity making people feel so ashamed squashing feminine and earth loving ways of life as "pagan" and burning woman at the stake for hundreds of years for this. The murdering of the indigenous people on our land, the literal slave work that built this country. And yet people still want to act like everythings fine and people should be able to be billionaires and some should be able to afford healthcare and others not and some quality food and others not. African American home ownership is at a 50 year low now. And yet these kids just want to keep putting up and buying apartments so that people making minimum wage can pay 2/3 of their income every month for their whole lives to them. The fear, selfishness, self loathing (I believe that is is self loathing, how else could people be so sick in this country? The food poisons us, almost half of the people are on daily medications, we trash our land destroy our forests confine millions of animals to cages and slaughters. If people loved themselves they could love the earth and they could stop this madness. Please try to find something to do to help each other.
