Good news indeed, but I hate seeing âright-to-workâ without quotation marks.

Puzzled? If they say so. But what do they actually think, deep down?
excerpt: Peyo stands guard at the door of Robertâs room. Scientists and doctors are still puzzled by some of the horseâs behaviour, such as here
when he adopts a menacing pose to bar anyone from entering the room.

The Warren recruits mark a victory for the progressive movement, which has supported her yearslong âpersonnel is policyâ campaign to chip away at the dominance of corporate insiders in setting policy for Democrats. Those who took on the fight with Warren say theyâre pleasantly surprised it has produced so many results under Biden, reflecting a new emphasis on inequality and challenging corporate power. Industry lobbyists, in turn, warn that banks, private equity firms and consumer lenders should pay close attention.
The appointments âconfirm that Sen. Warren will be the most influential voice in the financial policy debate under the new administration,â said Karolina Arias, a former Democratic Senate aide who is now a partner at Federal Hall Policy Advisors.
The growing list of Biden personnel backed by Warren and other progressives illustrates the leftward shift underway in the Democratic Partyâs approach to policymaking, which was also seen in the $1.9 trillion aid package that Biden signed into law Thursday.

" Philanthropy is different from charity, though there is some overlap. Charity aims to relieve the pain of a particular social problem, whereas philanthropy attempts to address the root cause of the problem.[2][3][4][5]"
Iâm not here to discuss semantics.
Whether rich folks call their puny droppings onto others philanthropy, charity, good will, a generous blessing or whatever, weâre being distracted from the real problem when we celebrate it.

After Neera Tandem got blocked because of hostile tweets (yeah, right), I felt that Deb Haaland was toast as well, especially given her stance on coal mining. Glad to be proven wrong.

I disagree. I wouldnât call a 27 year program that has helped hundreds of kids out of poverty and through college âpuny droppingsâ. He is addressing the very real problem of poverty and being trapped in its ever downward cycle of hopelessness.
I personally respect the man who takes his time and money and attempts to do the right thing with it.

Make a new thread, please; you have valid points and so does Millie, but arguing the merit of charity/philanthropy isnât the topic at hand.
