Nov 8

What we need is an alternative social media site geared toward Gen-Z that educates, informs, and creates critical thinkers. It would be nice to attract favorite entertainers there but it should be focused on fame and fortune. Offer solutions for getting good jobs with good pay and for helping the disenfranchised. It doesn't have to labeled "woke" either. Just assess what young voters need to know. We won't get it out of this administration but we need a program for young people like Clinton's AmeriCorps or something along those lines that focus Gen-Z attention on the realm of possibilities for them and not just entertainment and political deceit. Maybe something like PoliCore to teach young people about politics and how our government works since our schools seem to be missing the boat on this.

Still feeling alone and scared for my grands.
