Just looked up derivation of "democracy" - which I was pretty sure i knew but wanted to be 100% certain in case I get into a discussion about it:
demos = the people, kratos = power (Greek) - my source is Etymonline (etymology).
But the reason i'm commenting here is that part of their entry is this, which I had not seen before, which is WONDERFUL:
"Democracy implies that the man must take the responsibility for choosing his rulers and representatives, and for the maintenance of his own 'rights' against the possible and probable encroachments of the government which he has sanctioned to act for him in public matters." [Ezra Pound, "ABC of Economics," 1933]
WOW. Can we emblazon that on all our minds, and signs - somewhere on Times Square... on panel trucks... on T-shirts...
The figures for layoffs are astounding. Thanks for including!
Thx so much for all this info especially the numbers of phone calls. I’ll be out on Saturday the 18th 🚫 👑
