A virtually unregulated investment firm today exercises more political and financial influence than the Federal Reserve and most governments on this planet.
Rearmament
These grand and fatal movements toward death: the grandeur of the mass
Makes pity a fool, the tearing pity
For the atoms of the mass, the persons, the victims, makes it seem monstrous
To admire the tragic beauty they build.
It is beautiful as a river flowing or a slowly gathering
Glacier on a high mountain rock-face,
Bound to plow down a forest, or as frost in November,
The gold and flaming death-dance for leaves,
Or a girl in the night of her spent maidenhood, bleeding and kissing.

If Trump Walks, Our Democracy could be Doomed

The proble3m in Shasta County this article fails to mention is the state of the logging industry, now denied insurance and annually assaulted with more and more violent fires. Mills have been consolidated, there is less work in the woods, and these appear to be more permanent than the typical cycles of past decades. People must be very nervous about fire, not just in the woods but on the outskirts of Redding and nearby towns, which have already had one wildfire. Shasta County is a very unhappy place right now because it is ecologically and economically very threatened.
