Be A King
@BerniceKing17 Jan 2023
My father’s “dream” wasn’t palpable to the white masses, including politicians. He challenged militarism and sought to eradicate it. He worked to end poverty, as caused by extreme capitalism and materialism. We need to know the authentic King…The Inconvenient King. #MLKDay

Noncompete agreements restrict freedom, hold down wages, and make our economy less competitive. I’m very happy that the FTC has proposed banning them. nytimes.com/2023/01/09/opini…

I want a soft life. I want ease. I want relaxation. I do not want to hustle. I do not want to grind. Grinding wears you down to brittle nothingness. I do not want to work my life away. I want enjoyment and rest, not as rewards but as practice. My life will be a practice in joy.
