I read the beginning of your post and was expecting some life changing story. Had my full attention just to be disappointed. Nothing special or profound about your bosses story. Thats routine USA. Perhaps i have become desensitized. I wouldn’t repeat that story again, it means nothing. I certainly didn’t have an epiphany.
The only hope i feel for the future of this country is workers unionizing. Its the only leverage the poor and middle class have. We need more unions.
