This may seem random, but I promise there is a point. If you've already seen Newsies from Broadway, you might know where I'm going already. If you haven't, watch it. Or just listen to the soundtrack even. Particularly, listen to “The Bottom Line”, “Seize the Day”, “Santa Fe” (the Jeremy Jordan solo reprise), and “Once and For All”.

Watching the world around me, all I'm reminded of is Newsies and my heart and gut are just clenching painfully at that.
Unionizing while the Big Guys crack down on the workers, lowe legal working age so children are working just to help provide for their families when they should be having a childhood, law enforcement being on the Big Guys dime. Sound familiar? We are repeating history all over again and nothing is happening!
I feel like I should be angrier but I'm just tired of it all. Tired and deeply saddened. I have no idea what we could or should do.
