This sank fast.

In any case, the point about writing down the red lines was a good one.

I wonder if anyone did and what they were.

Does it ever worry you or make you feel powerless? What can I do, I'm a middle age man with health problems that make things very difficult. I have kids and a family and friends with their own problems. I'm strapped for time and resources. What can I do? I worry for my kids future and the future of the world.

It definitely worries me.

We're firmly at post-truth, and very much also at post-shame, particularly for the billionaires, which is a concerning place to be.

All I can do is try to be thoughtful with my words and actions and live according to my values.

At some point there may be a decision to be made, the kind of which was too common in the 1930s, and I hope I'll be one of those whose actions are looked upon fondly by good men in the future.

that line (generalized) has been the most useful piece of advice i've ever read

got me out of a gaslighting relationship, and allowed me to stay at a company during a rough patch (knowing i had a line i'd bail at)
