We are already involved in so many wars, we can’t stop them now?

Why let women have the vote?
Talking about racism is racist, why not accept racism is over?

We have already screwed up the planet, why bother being environmental?
Why help kids who are dropping out of school?
Why stop bullying?
Why try and stop the opioid epidemic?
Why have Police Monitoring Committees when so many are already corrupt?
Why try and fix our Democratic system? It’s already broken.

She got her start in media at the age of 21 in Santa Cruz, California as an advertising sales rep. Having no experience and nothing more than a couple of years as an art college attendee she felt the bug to work in media at a young age. She learned that by helping her customers with design and marketing, their campaigns would be far more successful and has made a 30+ year career in design, copywriting, and marketing for her clients. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPy4MMdcfLg.
