Flexible working is not just for women with children. It is necessary at the other end of the scale. If people can move into part-time work instead of retirement then that will be a huge help.

Instead of hating I have chosen to forgive and spend all of my positive energy on changing the world.

But look you did not have to be well versed in politics to know that some stupid things were going on. It is the counsel's job to stop them and instead the coverup was created.

Community organizing is all about building grassroots support. It's about identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common passionate cause. And it's about ignoring the conventional wisdom of company politics and instead playing the game by very different rules.
