How often to you read a nice story about something you care about, too? It doesn't sound earth shattering, but in fact it is about your daily life and about some of the simple things in life that you miss. This story by TC, PROGRESS, is that kind of story. I've had great relationships with some of the shopkeepers in my neighborhood and still do, but there are fewer of them as Amazon, chain stores and rents drove them out. Americans have become more isolated by PROGRESS/TECHNOLOGY/MONOPOLIES. We don't have the associations with which we got things done together, socialized and made friends. PROGRESS is a bombshell that went off years ago, and we didn't realize what was happening to us.
…or call them 'retrogrades' pushing human life backward and putting planet earth on fire. They, Reagan and the Republicans, were Anti-Life, and they are still at it... more than ever!
The past 40 years is as Lewis Lehrman in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Mar 17, 1985) said it would be. “Conservative Revolution will alter all Policies. Our economic, our social, and our international policies are going to be altered in every significant respect. The president hasn’t even begun the program of constitutional reform and the change in social policy.” Not a long article but lays it all out. Lehrman was handpicked by Reagan to head the Citizens for America grass-roots conservative lobby. Last time I googled Lehrman, he was still alive. Wonder what he thinks of their efforts to “improve” America today….

Or as I say, I don't think the past 40 years of progress have been all that progressive.

right on.
Local music stores (both for instruments and for listening) suffered the same demise.
