World History this day

where tin-dippers and

in cool touches
meet lips
from hand dug wells.

...But the cost of maintaining the Empire is high that's true. But by abandoning the
Empire in America it means the cost of everyday goods will be high.

The second by Caitlin Johnstone on barriers to utopia and individual actions.
