Altercation: The Piketty Impact
French economist Thomas Piketty in 2019
While reading Brooke Jarvisâs fascinating New Yorker essay about issues associated with the endingârather than the extendingâof life, I came across this passage:
âOf all the forms of inequality,â Martin Luther King, Jr., said in 1966, by which time the divide was entrenched, âinjustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman.â Even in modern American cities, people born into poor neighborhoods can expect to live as many as thirty years fewer than people who are born in affluent ones across town. And that was before the COVID-19 pandemic further widened our existing gaps.

I certainly identify with virtually everything that Henry Makow has written here. There is certainly a war on mothers, the very people who are the fabric of the family structure.
My own mother passed away in 2018, and I certainly wished that I could spend one more hour with her saying simple things like, “Thank you for all the sacrifice you made.” That woman made sure that my siblings got an education, not an ideology which can literally cripple one’s moral and intellectual growth and ability.
I honestly can never understand subversive movements like Black Lives Matter because it simply cannot stand on its on feet! It is intellectually vacuous. But if the family isn’t strong enough, then the eager you mind is more likely to be adrift. When that happens, chaos reigns.

Growing up, Suzanne Simard was captivated by the multicolored layers of humus and mineral soils teeming with worms and bugs and nearly impenetrable tangles of roots coiled together with fungus.
How, she wondered, did this exuberant life below the ground connect to the forest above it?
In her book, “Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest,” Simard writes about her nearly three decades of work to answer this question. As one of the world’s leading forest scientists, Simard, a professor of forest ecology at the University of British Columbia, would go on to revolutionize the way many researchers think about trees and their relationships with one another.
