Open ears, for starters:
Personally, I listen to most Americans, Dems and Repubs alike; those who don’t have microphones and bull horns, or are paid to justify, regardless. And I see that we all, despite being divided by forces beyond, generally agree on most everything that matters to our daily days of toil. If it wasn’t for agendas and politicians and constant battering from self-serving opinions, we aren’t really far apart. If there were no envy or jealousy or any of the other 7 deadly sins, we’d be pretty much walking along the same path of kindness and giving. If mutual understanding replaced the desire for power and control, we might see us all as one.

The consumer spending for April was down 13.6&. That is huge, the largest monthly drop in history. What it means is that it will be taking just that much longer for companies to regain sufficient revenue, that is if they are still viable.
Yesterday, retired Saint Louis Police Captain Dorn was honored at his funeral. If you may have forgotten, he was the black ex-Police officer gunned down during the riots there by a 24-year-old looter Stephan Cannon. Hundreds of friends came to mourn. Nobody from BLM was there.
Play a Richard Strauss tone poem and enjoy. The great German composer would have been 156 years old today. His music will raise the spirit in your hearts.
