Resources

Labor Day is coming up next Monday in the U.S. Its purpose is to recognize the achievements of our nation's workers. 

We who labor are not only consumers, but creators of value. We take our planet's natural resources and apply our mental and physical work to them. We create things to satisfy the many needs and wants of society, our neighbors and families.

It's an idea that really needs to die out: that human beings are nothing more than mouths to feed, just consumers of resources. Not so. Human beings create material wealth when they're free to dream and solve problems.

In spite of being proven wrong, the idea comes up every now and then. If I may refer just once more to the Marvel movies . . Thanos killed half of all life in "Avengers: Infinity War" so that the other half could get all the universe's resources and live better. Bad and wrong on every count.
