1. Right On

I like Elizabeth Warren a lot. She is a Progressive, but she does not have as much baggage as Bernie Sanders. Unions made this country great. We need more Union activity. Teachers Unions, Nurses Unions, Retail Workers, etc.

I subscribe to Bernie's Twitter feed and he has been going after Walmart lately for exploiting their workers. Sanders points out that many Walmart workers are so underpaid that many of them rely on Food Stamps and Medicaid.

So, Bernie is saying that we, the working people and taxpayers, are subsidizing the super-rich Walton Family, who are mega-billionaires.

Anyway, I am glad that Warren is pushing Unions. The workforce has changed from Blue Collar to a more Service Industry focus in recent decades, but we need strong Unions and a healthy Working Class.

5. You're welcome. 10 minutes in, so far, she's a colossal hit.

6. I like that there are Trump voters talking about how nothing came down for them.

This is important and Warren talking about jobs. Spending a trillion and a half on going green.

She is awesome.

7. E.W.'s got plenty energy. That dude sitting next to her seems

to be a dullard, but I've gotta a hunch he'll be on board by the end of the event.

8. Quick hour. E.W. was captivating.

9. Senator Warren is right. The countries that are least impacted by

rising worldwide nationalism all have strong labor unions. Those countries are also the richest when financial assets AND debt are considered.
