This presidential campaign, more candidates (i.e. Warren, Bloomberg, and *Booker) have appealed to Black voters in terms of economic development and economic justice. Wonderful! I think Black voters will be regarded less as subjects than as citizens when backed by Black dollars.
* No longer a candidate.

Boeing has yet to regain my trust -- the faulty MCAS software, inadequate pilot training, the delay in apologizing to the victims. Now there's the possibility of exposed fuel panels?
