It's all connected

Item 1:  An iceberg the size of Delaware has broken off the ice shelf in the Antarctica.  

Item 2:  “Biological Annihilation  said to be underway.”  (Headline in today’s Times.)  Elizabeth Kolbert already wrote a book about this.  We are in the middle of the Sixth Mass Extinction.  This is the first one that is human-caused.

Item 3:  “The Deep Industry Connections of Trump’s Deregulation Teams.”  (Front page headline in today’s Times detailing the industry connections of Trump’s “deregulation teams,” charged with eliminating environmental, consumer, and labor protections.)

Our grandson, age 11, just spent two weeks with us.  I dread to think about the world he will inherit.  I don’t understand Trump supporters who stick by him.  “Drain the swamp.”  “Make American great again.”  Really.?  When does reality sink in?  When will they see what this man is doing to our country and our globe?
