Endings. Abrupt and Otherwise

For those of us who see Memorial Day as the unofficial start of summer, this, the Labor Day weekend, in that same spirit marks its end. 

Neither, of course, is true, and that can be easily proven by looking at the calendar, but perceptions of reality and reality are often the same thing, the calendar be damned. 

I benefited during my working career from a lot of people who came before me in terms of demanding and receiving a living wage, a safe workplace, dignified and respectful treatment, and a list of tangible and intangible benefits that runs from here to the horizon. We have people in power right now who are determined to reverse all of that.

Enjoy the Labor Day weekend, but remember what it's about. And why.
