"who will help the new 'forgotten man'?"

The Great Depression swept across the nation some 90 years ago, creating a level of despair that nearly crushed America. Washington was either indifferent or inept in responding to a calamity that threatened the very foundation of the republic. Today we have a new generation of "forgotten men" – and women. They too have lost faith in a Washington that seems to have dissolved into a dysfunctional collection of politicians far removed from the difficulties facing our citizens.

The Great Depression swept across the nation some 90 years ago, creating a level of despair that nearly crushed America.
Standing mute and dumbfounded on a breadline, tens of thousands became "forgotten men"; stripped of their jobs, their dignity, and their future. Washington was either indifferent or inept in responding to a calamity that threatened the very foundation of the republic.
Some of these forgotten men sought refuge in God, solace in the Bible, and prayed for salvation or, at the very least, a pathway that would lead them to a better life.
Others looked to a vibrant, dynamic president, who would inspire those victims of a national calamity that we are still a nation capable of greatness with the ability to rescue those forgotten men from devastating unemployment.

There's a big difference between being forgotten--which Whites were in the 1930s--and despised--which Whites are today.

"Others looked to a vibrant, dynamic president, ..."
Oh puh-leeze, another reflexive FDR hagiography. Almost as bad as the MLK boilerplate. Makes for bad writing and bad history. President TLDR, a signal to skip and move to next article.
You know you have a lot of (too much) money when...
your interpreter steals 16 million and you don't even know it.
(GRA)nnn says Shohei Ohtani wasn't aware of anything unusual happening with his manager/translator,Ippei Mizuhara,while Mizuhara was gambling like a maniac with the baseball player's multi- millions.
Law enforcement cleared(lol)Ohtani and said Mizuhara impersonated Ohtani to set up an illegal gambling account and withdraw money from a bank.
Some people are too big to fail.However,others,are not.I'll leave it at that.

NO one will help. You are on your own for the most part.
