This is an excellent short story on following illegal orders. Highly recommend. Fictional but plausible.

This piece took me over 2 months to write.
It’s about a man given illegal orders that is impossible not to obey.
Please read.

Thanks Tom a good piece, been thinking there's a need to define that vibe of "establishment" politicians and the gatekeeping that stops getting things done or 'disappears' proposals. I think you've captured it beautifully, sadly and with the edge of justified cynicism it deserves.

Unfortunately spot on.😕 Very good read, however.
Voters were offered a choice between maintaining a system that isn’t working and destroying a system that isn’t working.
They chose destruction.
Please check out my current article.

Yeah....I wish my senator had time to do anything except post stupid remarks on x.🤔
I've saved 148 automated responses from my congressman over 12 years. He's never read one. But I keep documenting anyway,not because I think it will change anything, but because someone needs to have kept the receipts for a trial that will never happen.

I kind of love this man.
Not in a gay way.
In a "I have mad respect for what you're doing and understand your crazy scheme" sort of way.

That's the thing- people are frustrated and angry enough to elect the likes of Trump, and rather than say 'let's make some worthwhile changes that will serve people', Dems have said 'oh-- things are fine... act natural and aim for the center'... I'm tired of losing, and not a fan of the right.
