Even though I have had an easy and fun career in tech, I have enormous amount of sympathy for farmers, truckers, train workers, and other groups that have held very large scale strikes. Collectively, they are crucial for ‘keeping the lights on’ in society.

I was amused by the media quotes in the article that dissed on the strikers. I think that the global elite, Wall street, intelligence agencies, big pharma, military industrial complex, etc. all have way too much control over what topics reach the news and what the tone is of news.

I consider myself middle of the road politically and I am grateful to live where I live, but in re-reading my above comments I wonder what fraction of the people living in my country (USA) would consider me radical?
