this is just my own view but I've decided the only real power I have in this world is to make a few people feel seen, heard, a little better and loved. the only power I have in this world is to be a loving person in it.

Had the $3 trillion dollar Cares act been disbursed to each adult it would give them $14k each to stay safe at home thru the pandemic. That's $24k for 2 adults in a home! Instead, 600 businesses got $10 million each & people are in food lines facing eviction.

The jobs I had in my youth had the standard 15-minute breaks (2) and a 30-minute lunch break. I never felt any relief from a 15-minute break and I barely had time to eat during a 30-minute lunch. These seem to dehumanize working people to me.
