Allow me to share with you what it is like to live in Syracuse NY, where yesterday Air Force One delivered our President to our little Hancock Airport to speak with others about the transformation that will happen here that will improve many lives in the Central New York area. He was here with others to celebrate the $100 billion investment from Micron over the next two decades to build semiconductor manufacturing facility in the region. He is correct to describe it as a game-changer for our local economy. This is a clear sign that his policies are effective in boosting domestic manufacturing, and in the fact that DEMOCRATS DELIVER!!! This time is with the CHIPS Act.
He was introduced by Shawni Davis, a local Henninger High graduate and master electrician. This event did not occur at SU as many assumed, since the President had attended college there. The event took place at Onondaga Community College, where an education and training pipeline will be created to train students to become Micron engineers and technicians. This is just an astounding accomplishment, in a city known even recently as having one of the highest child poverty levels in the nation, according to new US census data.
Our Governor Hochul delivered details about the investments in education, child care, business and community groups that are coming along with Micron Technology investments.
I was busy with work and family issues yesterday and I am still getting caught up with the events and speakers at the event yesterday, but I did get to hear it live when Senator Schumer exclaimed "every single inch of this massive project will be built with UNION LABOR!"
I hope I can share some of my excitement with you. Things this big only happen in other places, not Upstate NY. I am pinching myself over and over, just wondering how this could be coming true for Syracuse. This is a city where children always grew up and had to leave the area to find a good job. That is no longer true. This area will be transformed into the future.
I'll say it again! DEMOCRATS DELIVER! Vote Blue in 2022 down the whole ballot!
Here is the video of the event with President Biden at Onondaga Community College on 10/27/22.
The good economic news wasn't just growth. There was good news on the inflation front, too. The price index for gross domestic purchases increased 4.6 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 8.5 percent in the second quarter. The Personal Consumption Expenditure price index, which the Fed watches, increased 4.2 percent, compared with an increase of 7.3 percent. And the CPI for the last three months rose a total of 0.5%, or an annual rate of 2% if it keeps up for the next nine months. That's the Fed's target. All great trends, a combination of interest rate hikes and a big slowdown in money supply growth from what had been hypergrowth, a big reason for inflation (thank you, Fed).
I’m an optimist and I am proud of that. The media certainly is not helping the Democrats but what everyone is missing are the little things that are happening everyday. Over 3000 people attended a rally for Fetterman in Pittsburgh last night. It had a rock concert vibe. In NC , Ga, Pa, and other locations mail in votes are ahead of the 2020 election results at the same time. Young voters are coming out to vote but there is still room for improvement. The election is in the hands of Independents, real Republican and women. They vote we win. I heard on NPR yesterday an interviewer ask a voter why they were independent. The answer was “ I use to be a Republican and that is not my party anymore “. What’s important is these Independents are not going to vote for Republicans and all we have to do is convince them to vote for Democracy.
I recently read a post reporting Meghan McCain blathering on about Fetterman not being fit for office. The person posting then mentioned how Meghan’s dad was treated by the Democratic Party while he was dealing with issues from a brain tumor: with grace and dignity. How sad that even Meghan, of all the people, can’t look past the collateral damage from a stroke and know that the person and is still there- brain and all.
It is shameful that the so called grown ups in the room are using this to appeal to the largest amount of ignorant voters. GAWD: it’s like the school bus driver laughing when the bully pushes other kids on the bus.

Republicans were gleeful with the media’s focus on Fetterman’s disability to the exclusion of Oz’s career-ending gaffes during the debate. Indeed, Republicans decided to amplify the media’s focus on Fetterman’s disability. Ronna McDaniel, chair of the Republican National Committee, mocked both Fetterman and Biden (a stutterer) by saying that, together, they couldn’t couldn’t “get a full sentence out.”
Hey "Moonface" Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel - you need to spend a little less time sneaking the 5 gallon ice cream container out of the freezer at night. You're starting to take after Baron Harkonnen.

Robert, Kudos to you on this day's edition! Robert Reich's article is superb and deserves an entire Edition dedicated to it and its key messages! We do not have a "free market" economy - just the opposite. One thing he hasn't mentioned yet (It's a 2 part article.) is the farm crisis with big corporations taking away and starving the individual farmers ability to earn a decent living. We also need to revise our notion that we still have a "free press" now that even the NY Times has succumbed to "Corporations United". It hit me hard that the Nazis started its purifying killings with children with disabilities. Where is character, ethics and values gone? Where are leaders like Teddy Roosevelt ready to bust up the cruelty of monopolies? Where are the George Washingtons who can't tell a lie. Where is longer term view preparing us for the technology revolution that is upon us and the climate conflagration that is here today? I have voted. I kept my vow to hold the entire Republican Party accountable by not voting for any R. We need the People United. We, the People, all of us this time united and with the wisdom of seven generations looking forward to creating a world of well-being for all!
He does a great job illustrating how the vast economic and political inequality we have in this country is not due to the workings of the "free market", which is touted by the financial elite via corporate owned media. Rather, the economic and political playing fields have been deliberately tipped so overwhelmingly in favor of the financial elite by conservative governmental policies and court rulings. Of course, this all started in earnest beginning with the Reagan Admin in the 1980s. This is the first of a two-part series of articles.
I think it's about keeping language away, on the third page, whatever. "they couldn’t couldn’t “get a full sentence out.”, "Ukraine has “lost its sovereignty” Keeping healthy language away is how Orwell described controlling the 'proles'. This also keeps away healthy self-doubt.
As opposed to the ability to fix complex problems through education and language. All ideologies are not real life. Religious frameworks are morality disguised as fact.
I think your column today is about this road. Je suis en train de..... is a common French phrase to start , say cooking. Je suis en train de cuisiner!
While there is good news out there the media seems to amplify the negative of [Ras]Putin, Kanye West, and the right wing.
The media is amplifying anti-Semitism by constantly repeating Kanye's bigotry. It's like a political ad.
Personally, I have made the decision to withdraw from a group that supports veterans. Why? Because the CEO of this particular organization has posted on Facebook that he thinks Kanye is being treated badly and someone posted supporting this guy's post.
Yesterday was the dark anniversary of the shootings of the synagogue in Pittsburgh. If words don't lead to action the advertising business would go broke.

Understsanding the economy is an ongoing challenge especially the big-picture economy. I found today's piece from Robert Reich to be very useful and even printed it out (antique that I am).
Thank you Stephen G for bringing us “Democrats Deliver” and “What a Difference a President Makes”! I find them hugely helpful for expanding my volunteer engagement into phone banking, something I find challenging. Thanks Robert for posting them today. These kinds of resources are empowering. I plan to share them with my network.
Thank you so much for sharing democrats-deliver.org. What began as an effort to create a 2-5pg cheat sheet for Dem friends who kept parroting that Dems had not done much and for my own GOTV work turned into 150 pgs. A website was born and I truly hope you will all use it to help in your conversations with your community and in GOTV work. We can do this!

When the dust has settled after Nov 8, we need to take on “main stream” (what a joke) media - big time.
I view the NYTIMES the same as Fox news in terms of the damage they are doing, albeit a bit more subtly.
It is sad to think that we'll have to wait 50+ years to find out what a great president President Biden has been. So maddening!
But this easy-to-read article from Fortune is a surprisingly positive analysis when it comes to Biden's energy policy.

Judge Jackson's words "the dark shadow of tyranny" stay with me and encourage me to keep on plugging for democracy.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson is a very bright lght in our judiciary!
