@IonaItalia I see this every day. My job puts me in close contact with the (almost exclusively) men who make the world work. They keep the lights on, the water flowing, and sewage treated. Yet most ordinary people have little respect for these hidden events. @IonaItalia These are men who transform out ugly, cold, dangerous world into the magical place where I drink fresh clean water in a heated, well lit home. Thanks to them I’m so wealthy that I literally poop into water clean enough to drink.

Q 4 @SenatorTillis @SenatorBurr @JohnCornyn @RoyBlunt @SenBillCassidy @SenatorCollins @LindseyGrahamSC @robportman @MittRomney @SenToomey: A "compromise" is when each side gives & gets something. I can see where gun owners gave. What did we get? @SenatorTillis @SenatorBurr @JohnCornyn @RoyBlunt @SenBillCassidy @SenatorCollins @LindseyGrahamSC @robportman @MittRomney @SenToomey This looks like yet another Republican capitulation. Instead of showing some backbone & just saying "no" to the people who have openly called for the end of our civil rights, you're giving them less than what they want & patting yourselves on the back saying it could be worse.
