I worked at San Diego Zoo when this happened. It was their Hawaiian bird conservation center where this last bird lived. I will never forget that sad and somber day when the last of this species went extinct. Beautiful obit by Helen Sullivan theguardian.com/environment/20…

The problem in the U.S. is that CEOs make 300 times or more the salary of their employees. 1 percent of the population shouldn’t hold the majority of wealth and power. Billionaires WANT us to fight each other. It’s a distraction from the real enemy.
