According to recent studies, 1 in 500 people have died due to Covid. Astounding, heart breaking, and frightening! But we should also remember that it didn’t have to be this deadly, this devastating, and this crippling.
I’m obviously no expert, but for what it is worth my advice is to stay safe, get vaccinated if you aren’t, support and comply with mandates, and challenge stupidity and false notions of “freedom” that endanger the health and lives of our families, friends, and others.
One more thing: vote and get out the vote for Democrats in November of next year. Have a nice day!

I'm a long-time socialist and activist, but new to the blogging world. I hope to bring a different perspective on politics, sports, culture, and Marxism. Besides blogging, I also leave plenty of time for swimming, hiking, ESPN, music, reading, drinking good beer, and, not least, my family and friends. I wish I could play basketball, but my knees ruled out that possibility long ago.
While I currently reside in New York, my politically formative years were spent in Portland, Me. and Detroit during the 1970s and 1980s. I graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia (where I played basketball) and received a MA in economics from the University of Connecticut.
I was the national chairperson of the Communist Party, USA from 2000 until 2014 when I stepped down at the convention. In 2016 I resigned from the Communist Party two years later. We were no longer on the same page.
