    A single person is powerless but a collective is not.

    I think you vastly overestimate how much the average person knows about all this if you find no value in spreading the word. You might even overestimate how much the above-average person even remembers about the case. Epstein died 7 years ago and a whole lot of other bad things have happened since

      Hmmm that’s a good point. I keep trying to teach myself the lesson to lower that bar. I mean, I still think that there have been enough people upset about Epstein even just this last year that we should have seen something happen.

      But it’s true that it might take more people than the amount that we would like…and you’re right that there’s probably a lot of people who know next to nothing about it.

        There’s a whole generation of adults who were just kids when it was in the news. Trump’s approval is tanking and more people flipping every day, open to hearing this information that they deliberately avoided.

        I’ll be honest, I’ve been thinking way more about Iran than Epstein lately. So even for me it’s a good reminder not to lose sight
