...where so many don't fight for themselves, or worse yet, work against my efforts.

There are family members I don't speak to because of the racist attitudes toward immigrants. I worked hard as a union Rep. to include women and minorities in high paying skilled labor work, both electricians and plumbers.

That 45% of the Latinos voted for a guy who hates them unless he can use them and whose most of his supporters consider scum from "Shithole" countries frustrates me to no end.

I'm retired now and live in the Philippines. Trump probably considers the Philippines to be a "shithole" country, but I figure I'm lucky to live here.
