1911 年 3 月 25 日下午，纽约曼哈顿。一个 30 岁的女社会工作者正好在街边喝下午茶。

她叫弗朗西丝·珀金斯。

她听到马路对面有人尖叫。

她抬起头——10 层高的三角衬衫厂的窗户里，女工们正在往外跳。

工厂着火了。出口全部被锁——老板平时为了防止工人偷布料。

那一天，146 个人死了——大部分是 14 到 23 岁的女工。
珀金斯站在街上看了 1 个小时。

那天回家她在日记里写下："The New Deal began that day for me."（新政在那一天为我开始了。）

22 年后，1933 年。富兰克林·罗斯福当选总统，给珀金斯发了一封电报：来做我的劳工部长。

她回信，附了一张她要在做之前先列清楚的条件清单——
联邦最低工资。 每周 40 小时工作制。 童工法。 失业保险。 老年退休保障（即后来的 Social Security）。 工伤赔偿。 公共工程项目。

罗斯福看完，签了字。

她成了美国历史上第一个女性内阁部长。

接下来 12 年，她那张清单上的每一项，都立法通过了。

今天的美国，养老金、最低工资、童工法、失业保险、社保系统——这些影响每一个美国人一辈子的法律——的设计者，是 1911 年那个下午站在 Triangle 大火对面的 30 岁女工作者。

她 1965 年去世，85 岁。

她在世的最后几年，仍然在大学教书，工资不高，住在租来的小公寓里。

大多数美国人不知道她的名字。

历史最不公平的事，不是错的人被记住。

是对的事被记住——而做这件事的人，没有。

Dream of losing my pet cat when I took him to a mall. Felt a sense of loss when I woke up.

Hasn't visited Hmart Doraville for a long while. Glad to see the slight remodeling there.

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

Shouldn't debt to tax income ratio more important than debt to GDP ratio? If a government does not tax, it will have no ability to repay its debt. #USNatioanalDebt #Debt

RIP Kenmore washer. You have served me well in the last 23 years. From youtube, I think I could have extended your life with a replacement parts. Yet, someone wanted you to be gone.

The one with the most savings is my ticket.

Our family visited Publix 3 times in the last week. I made the run one time. Can guess which one?

I usually don't put on apron when I do dishes. I tried to be CAREFUL NOT to spill myself. However, often times, water would be on my clothes, around my belly because I was unaware. MORAL: We can only mitigate things that we are aware of.

Had a write-protected MicoSD card. Tried formatting it, diskpart and AOEMI software to no avail. Spent over an hour on this. Yet, I have a spare all along. Finally, I gave up and use the spare.

My solar panels produced about 75% of the rated outputs in the first year. Titan Solar said that it is within "normal" range. BUT, I think it was due to design phase where shades from trees were NOT taken into account. Any recourse for me?
