FROM the comments ...  “ Ms. Moss's talk on the "forgotten middle" is important because it's the middle sector of society that carries 1) the bulk of society's workload, public and private, 2) the burden of paying taxes, and 3) the building and protecting of the nation. A few years down the road, the middle among the students become the middle of the workforce. Therefore, forgetting the middle among students is ignoring the sector that will ultimately become the backbone of the country.” Commenter: Rodrigo P. Feliciano Talk: Danielle R. Moss How we can help the "forgotten middle" reach their full potential

FROM the comments ...  “ Greta is right. 30+ years of pep-talks have not worked. Feel-good half-measures and doing "less bad" is not enough! It's not about what you know. It's not about what you feel. IT'S WHAT YOU DO THAT MATTERS. If we all do a little, the result is little. We have to go BIG and we have to go FAST.” Commenter: Greg Hamra Talk: Greta Thunberg The disarming case to act right now on climate change
