The Case for Hope: Glenn Kirschner



This video was a refreshing and frank listen for me. He remind us of our collective failings during Trump's time, yet offers hope for the future - at least with racial injustice and inequality.

The only thing I would have liked to hear him address is the American lack of willingness to fund the many things we desperately need to do and revolutionizing our police forces will require a lot of new tax money - something Republicans refuse to even discuss. A large percentage of our citizens have been brainwashed to be anti-taxers and that mentality must be reversed.

Enjoy!..........

our police forces may involve downsizing and demilitarizing. We can social distance, so we can also pledge to defuse and demur, which would require fewer resources. It's like insurance or a lawyer. Yes you can let them handle everything, but it's expensive. Or you can have a little knowledge of contract and criminal law, smile, engage, and compromise, and seek solutions. Most people are reasonable, if they're not driven into their homes by fear incubators like FauxSnooze and White House press releases on fake "terrorists".

Community can accomplish a lot.
