Last week I had some realizations or reminders that I thought I'd share here in the form of a list. At present, they're just floating around in my head, but maybe they'll seem more connected once I finish writing them out in one place.
A musing about not much...
When corporations might help instead of hurt
The point I take up today is inspired by an article from The New York Times, "Major Companies Press North Carolina on Law Curbing Protections From Bias". I highlight this article because it reveals something very interesting about who may actually have the power to change what happened in North Carolina: Bank of America and other large corporations that have chosen to headquarter themselves in there.

I felt pretty clear about my presidential vote until last Friday. I've been a Hillary Clinton supporter for a long time now, and she was my choice. Then she made that inane comment about Nancy Reagan fighting a quiet fight for AIDS, and I got really upset. I'm no learned scholar in this area, but I've read enough and talked to enough people over the years to know that equating the Reagans in any way with helping to fight the AIDS crisis is bad news and just plain wrong.
