The real third Estate. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with The New York Times community DPQuinn | New Jersey 5/12/22 Maybe, I will find something to buy before I die. Been impoverished by ruthless landlords. Paying my assets just for rent, while my earned income becomes less not more. They get richer while I fall through their cracks.

Solipsism is the result of this economic chaos from the 1-10% trickling down to us. It was only gotten worse because money and billions grow on their own just sitting in off-shore or private banking accounts. Elitist snobbism is pervasive in the Senate, incompetents drive the Cabinet and djt’s brain. Disinformation, fake news pops out of his head in all directions. Then the networks carry his tirades as “news.” C’mon !!!! https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/03/opinion/orwell-fourth-of-july.html#commentsContainer&permid=107947137:107947137 danielpquinn684 | Newark, NJ 6/11/20 Mr Krugman is a gift to all of us who listen to his insights. BUT his years are off kilter. Djt may say 1968, but he is clandestinely believing its 1984 and we are in “mind-control” by him. In a profound way he is living an alternative reality that ended in that nightmare year in violence, assassinations and death. We the Cats are out of the bag and he is going back in. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/11/opinion/trump-confederate-flag-military-bases.html#commentsContainer&permid=107563457:107563457 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/30/opinion/world-war-c.html#commentsContainer&permid=107877226:107877226 John Gordon (1815 – February 14, 1845) was the last person executed by Rhode Island. His conviction and execution have been ascribed by researchers to anti-Roman Catholic and anti-Irish immigrant bias.[1] As a result, he was posthumously pardoned in 2011.[2]John Gordon Born1815IrelandDiedFebruary 14, 1845 (aged 29-30)Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.Cause of deathExecution by hangingCriminal statusExecuted (February 14, 1845)Posthumously pardoned by Governor (June 29, 2011)Conviction(s)Murder (posthumously pardoned)Criminal penaltyDeathIn 1844, Gordon was tried and convicted for the December 31, 1843, beating murder of Amasa Sprague, a Cranston textile factory owner. Sprague was a member of a prominent Rhode Island family. His brother William was a United States senator. Six months before his murder, Amasa Sprague had used his family’s political influence to have Cranston resident Nicholas Gordon’s liquor license removed by the city council.[1] (Sprague’s employees were habitually getting drunk at Gordon’s premises.) Nicholas Gordon and his brother John were Roman Catholic immigrants from Ireland. Nicholas, John and William Gordon (another brother) were all tried for murder, but only John was convicted, a conviction based on contradictory circumstantial evidence.[1] William was found not guilty and in Nicholas’s case, held after John’s execution, the jury was hung. John Gordon was executed by hanging in the state jail in Providence. The court justices, which included Justice Job Durfee, that were involved in all three trials acted as both trial judges and the court of final appeal.[3] Included in jury instructions, Durfee “told the jurors to give greater weight to Yankee witnesses than Irish witnesses.”[1]Seven years after Gordon’s execution, Rhode Island abolished the death penalty.[1] Although it was reintroduced in 1872, no executions took place before capital punishment was abolished again by the state in 1984. In the 1990s, when the Rhode Island General Assembly considered reinstating the death penalty, Gordon’s case has been used by those against reinstatement to demonstrate the dangers of capital punishment.[1]In 2011, playwright Ken Dooley wrote and produced a stage play “The Murder Trial of John Gordon”. It ran 21 times at the Park Theater in Cranston, RI. Following his attending the play, State Representative Peter Martin [District 75 – Newport] introduced a resolution requesting that then Governor Lincoln Chafee grant a posthumous pardon to Gordon based on evidence that he, Gordon, had been subjected to a prejudiced trial.Following passing of the resolution by the Rhode Island General Assembly, Governor Lincoln Chafee pardoned Gordon on June 29, 2011.[2] The legislation was sponsored in the House of Representatives by Peter F. Martin and in the Senate by Michael McCaffrey.[2] Chafee signed the proclamation of pardon at the Old State House, where Gordon’s trial had taken place more than 150 years before.[2]In September 2014, Enda Kenny, the Taoiseach of Ireland, visited the Rhode Island Irish Famine Memorial and in a speech praised Martin and Chafee for pardoning Gordon. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/26/us/politics/trump-coronavirus-briefings-analyzed.html#commentsContainer&permid=106735226:106735226 ArtsPRunlimited Inc is a sponsored program withFractured Atlas on the web at: http://www.fracturedatlas.org/site/fiscal/profile?id=11419>We are working for excellence: https://conta.cc/2DDethA.
