Grandchildren Make Everything Alright When it's Not
A poem about grandchildren
In tender arms, a love untold,
grandchildren's wonder takes hold,
with eyes aglow, their spirits dance,
a bounce at life's second chance.
*
Their laughter echoes through the years,
erasing shadows, soothing fears.
Each giggle, hug, and gentle touch,
a testament to love's pure clutch.
*
In little souls, the future blooms,
bright stars within life's vast rooms,
grandchildren, treasures of our hearts,
forever bound, never to depart.
*
Grandchildren give us joy
to live longer, forever,
feeling younger and healthier,
happier and brighter.

Trickle Them Down, But Not Out
The thing about smart people is that they should know better, but alas, intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Not only do the mistakes of experts too short on vision—when they are not corrected—have the potential to do great and far-reaching damage, but they also undermine public confidence in the very notion of expertise. This is particularly so when expertise is wielded in defence of the rich and powerful as a cudgel against those laid low. As an academic, this lack of faith in “so-called experts” is painful to see as it plays out in the spread of dis-/misinformation, conspiracy theories, and anti-intellectualism writ large. But it is also an understandable impulse given the catastrophic failure of an economic ideology pushed by certain economic experts. Supply-side economics has shaped a broken system for the last half-century and has arguably done more to undermine the fabric of the American Dream than any policy framework of the past century.
