“In a world whose absurdity appears to be so impenetrable, we simply must reach a greater degree of understanding, a greater sincerity. We must achieve this or perish. To do so, certain conditions must be fulfilled: we must be frank (falsehood confuses things), we must be free (communication is impossible with slaves). Finally, we must feel a certain justice around for all.” —Albert Camus

CHEERS TO ALL THE EMPLOYERS treating their workers well in these busy, COVID crazy times. With so much traffic, money, and germs flowing in, employers who pay a fair and decent wage-- even for part timers (the majority)-- get real respect. This editor urges ALL employers to participate in the “trickle down” effect by giving workers regular bonuses, commissions, and pay raises when business is raking it in. Help build a stronger, more generous *equitable* community from the bottom up!
