If getting involved means being told you’re either ‘with us or against us’ by entrenched political factions, why would new voices want to participate?

When Amazon brings you whatever your little heart desires in a box to your door, there is much less of an incentive to go up to the 8th floor of Nordstrom. Yes we need to tackle safety but it is a symptom, not a cause. We should have acted 10 years ago.
