A Penn State alumnus with credits as a writer, designer, podcast host, children’s author and teacher brings one overarching desire to his work — to help others move up in life, just as others have helped him — and his most recent book provides the next chapter in that effort.
Bob McKinnon, who earned his bachelor’s degree from Penn State in 1990, focuses on social good.

There really needs to be a balance between subsidiarity (letting the smallest government or social unit possible take care or the problem) and solidarity (people working together to solve problems).
Ever helped someone whose car had broken down? Ever been helped when your car broke down?
Yeah, it takes a village, right? /s
The author is a graduate of Pedophile State. What would you expect?
What did I say? It takes balance.
Even here on FR, I see people asking for advice, for information, for prayers.
As far as I can tell from the article and the guy’s website, he seems to be promoting seeing help and being grateful for it.
We really can’t let the left hijack everything.
