  • Don’t Have A Q&A

    I listened to the interview with Marjorie Kelly. I loved her talking about what’s wrong and destructive about our current global economic system. I did not appreciate, however Maureen Conways approach to the Q&A. She was rude to the audience by letting them ask their questions and then telling them that there wasn’t time for an answer. Extremely off putting.
