Reality Check

Reality Check is our Social Justice Section arising from our 20for2020 Newsletter for the 2020 Election and Restore America Corps.  We believe a more just society is a more humane society and a more humane society is a wealthier society.  Read what we think is important and write or call us about what you think is important.

We see high industry concentration/monopolistic industry power, predictive modeling creating gross over-valuations for the stock market, and the endless pot of money in

healthcare, the merging of banking and securities and insurance and the allowance of intrinsically predatory personalized adverting practices of social media  as our country's five biggest challenges and we believe that restoring the balance of power to the worker/consumer/populace will lead to a more just and wealthier society.  What do you think?

Term limits are a no brainer and a must.  More ideas on how to manage government leaders will be forthcoming.  Usury is usury and must stop.  Albert Einstein said "Compounded interest is the greatest invention ever- real savings must return and a balance between savings and lending rates is a must.

We encourage you to check out our Restore America Corps page for our early work and our vision for engaging the populace in studying and solving today's issues one at a time.
