I’m frustrated at the ultra-zoom-in of the charts. The stock isn’t even back down to what it was last year, yet.

There is a lot further to go.

“Nazi-like salute…”

Ugh.

We’re on our way to state-sanctioned physical and emotional torture. They won’t stop at trans people, or gay people, either. When one group loses their rights, everyone does.

Good. We Americans need to learn the lesson that, in fact, we are not, have never been, and cannot be individualists. We are dependent on our neighbors: personally, nationally, and internationally.

We also need to learn that we cannot sustain ourselves by constantly taking: taking from each other, taking from nature, and taking from the future generations. We have become a nation of consumers, not citizens, and that is morally wrong. We expect to take with no consequences, and that’s just not how Earth works.

This was a fascinating read! I am obsessed with both history and perfume. Thank you!
