From USA Today

CEO pay was 40 times the average worker in the 60's, Four years ago it was181/1. Today it is 257/1. According to the writer Oliver Thomas a minister and an attorney, the ratio is rapidly approaching that of the 1% in 18th century France just before the revolution.
Thomas quotes the book of James on salaries. James did not approve of the wage disparity in Jerusalem and warned the rich that they have just been making themselves fat for the day of slaughter.
For me, this contributes to the horror of these times.
Another contributor, the immigration of the children crisis. The USA is not the only country overrun w/children from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. The children are also fleeing to Mexico, Panama, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Belize. Jesus said, "suffer the little children to come unto me." Can the US help make the world a better place by returning these children to nations where rape and murder are on the daily menu for the children.
