    Putting words in my mouth won’t change the mess we’ve got on our hands. We want those things and we can get them, but not immediately (absent a millions-strong general strike) and not without a fight (another Blair mountain, probably worse).

    I’m not trying to deter you. I’m talking about what’s in our way.

        Giving up because you aren’t getting exactly what you want right now is how you lose everything.
