The good news, Jimmy Carters birthday, the Biden/Harris response to Helene, the condition of our economy and Georgia’s ruling on abortion. Thank you for today’s history and ethics lesson.
The bad news, Trump.
I prefer to focus on the good. Love listening to your podcast, Heather !
Thank you for this podcast. I just discovered you here. We've been reading your letter's through email for years. It's nice to be able to hear you speak. Thank You!
"Like DeSantis, the authors of Project 2025 claim that those working to address climate change are part of the climate change alarm industry, which is harmful to future US prosperity."
Future prosperity? Yeah right Ron. Just more proof the GOP doesn't care about people's homes, small businesses, communities, or the well being of citizens. They care about their corporate, billionaire donors, & big business. Issues of climate change, the destruction it causes like Helene has, challenge big oil's heavily subsidized monopoly that is fossil fuel energy.
I read last night that Helene is going to cost $95 to $110 Billion at least. Very few to little can afford flood insurance, so the costs will be paid directly by middle class citizens. Bankrupcy's in the region will skyrocket. The oil industry won't pay a dime for the destruction they helped create. And their pundits will blame President Biden for not doing enough. And those suffering the most will believe that up is down. Energy companies need to take responsilbity for the harm they have caused and are going to cause. Tax them to diversify their product portfolio. Incentivize them to add clean energy products to their portfolio. If we were truly a capitalisic system, this would have already happened. The future prospertiy of our country depends a lot more on green energy than the old oil monopoly.
What do you mean most or little can afford flood insurance? Even after the recent hikes mine only cost $800 a year. And I live in the wetlands on the bayou. It’s wind insurance that is to expensive.
As a Louisiana Republican who has been listening to Mrs. Cox now for a few months I would like to make a few observations.
1. The Biden administration has done a very poor job communicating all the wonderful things the President has done during his administration. If the facts were presented as clear as Mrs Cox exposes them more Republicans might think better of Democratic policies.
2. I praise Mrs Harris for wanting to return us to a small business economy. Trickle down obviously didn’t work. We the people must support small businesses to make her dream become a reality.
3. More than once now Mrs. Cox has referred Social Security and Medicare as supplements of the government. This is an atrocity as I spent a life time paying into those systems. Bless Roosevelt and the lady that put those plans in action. Credit government when it is due, but don’t put down those who pay for it.
Another AMAZING letter! I am so deeply grateful to you, Dr. Richardson! Thank you especially for providing some of Judge McBurney's wording from his ruling. Here are some more of his inspiring words: "It is not for a legislator, a judge, or a Commander from The Handmaid’s Tale to tell these women what to do with their bodies during this period when the fetus cannot survive outside the womb any more so than society could — or should — force them to serve as a human tissue bank or to give up a kidney for the benefit of another.” Gives me courage!
Your words inspired a friend from neighboring Biscay Pond to promote postcarding for Kamala and Tim. Result? 16,000 postcards to voters!! Some from a party at the Coffee Shop. Photo here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/EQguHY4F7aPh1JxH7

"Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain't nobody lookin' back again
Cotton on the roadside, cotton in the ditch
We all picked the cotton, but we never got rich
Daddy was a veteran, a Southern Democrat
They ought to get a rich man to vote like that
Sing it
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain't nobody lookin' back again
Well, somebody told us Wall Street fell
But we were so poor that we couldn't tell
Cotton was short and the weeds were tall
But Mr. Roosevelt's a-gonna save us all
Well, Mama got sick and Daddy got down
The county got the farm and we moved to town
Papa got a job with the TVA
He bought a washin' machine and then a Chevrolet"
