Nevertheless my politics are always practical.

In my life I've experienced homelessness, living in my broken car in a church parking lot, later one week from foreclosure, and occasional bouts of comfortable affluence.

I'm in a randomly comfortable stage now, enough so that I sent the Biden/Harris campaign $1000.

Which is less than my wife and I have sent to our local food bank and "service industry" family screwed by Trump's pandemic failure.

I would kill all the bad sources of information. I don't contribute to any of them. No cable, no satellite, no broadcast television.
