Here are a few photos from my first day back to work in NYC after September 11. I chose to walk from Penn Station to the financial district where I worked. NYC was a pretty amazing place in those days. It really brought out the best in people.
People in Union Square looking at posters of people still missing in the days after 9/11.Positive messages written in chalk on a monument in Union Square. Some posters of missing people are stuck to it, as well.Candles and messages all over the ground in Union Square.A few infantry stand by a Hum V not far from the bull statue by Bowling Green park.

As someone who has lived in Kodak-town most of my life, it’s hard to watch what’s happening to US auto manufacturing in slow motion. Some of it certainly is from outside forces, but the outright refusal to compete is going to kill them.

The thing about there needing to be a path of redemption for people who have been “canceled” is: there already is a path to redemption and it’s called “redeeming yourself.” The path is open! No one is blocking that! You just have to do it!
