Retired. Like nature, photography, space, science, travel and books. Can be snarky when leaders are lying and/or behaving badly.

Saddest in of all of this is after 12 years of “the hottest economy in history”, we’ll be further in debt than we’ve ever been, our healthcare system will be worse and more expensive, wealth inequity will be worse, we’ll have lost decades of civil rights progress, and climate change will be worse.
