You know, there's, of course, Bernie, there's Mamdani, there's a guy, Tallarico, in Texas, and a guy in Maine, Plattner, that are running on platforms that are about justice and running the country in a way that benefits

That's a huge problem.

I was recently reading a book of quotes from Robert F. Kennedy.

called Make Gentle the Life of This World.

Looking at those quotes, what he was focused on was pretty much the issue of poverty and racism.

It was beautiful to read what he was saying about how

In our country, we can't have people that are hungry, that we can't have people that can't afford a decent place to live.

You know, he was running for president, and as his campaign involved him

visiting all these places of poverty.

The reality is that you can make just as much money, maybe more by serving those other needs of society at the same time that you're making whatever product or widget or service that you're providing.

You know, businesses have advertising and marketing budgets and PR budgets.
