Per the wisdom and insight of Otter in the movie Animal House - a quote that stuck with me and I occasionally lived up to since hearing it in the 70's at the drive-in

"I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part"

Dems, it's simple. Every working person in this country is marginalized. Quit advocating for the fringes and advocate for the working person -while enabling all others to rise with them. Equality is completely valid but that which one is equal to must be also be enabled -

My melancholic history keeps hitting me low blows. My first tech job was fixing keypunch machines and our state of the art stuff at the time used an 8" floppy instead of cards - held 80k of data. If I had known then what I know now I still wouldn't have been able to change things -

The old days when cruising was the thing and rolling a big fat one could get you 20 years -

Springsteen - Born to Run

Dire Straights - Sultans of Swing
Gary Wright - DreamWeaver
Skynyrd - Freebird
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

the highway's jammed with broken heroes -

Part 2) If the end game is to control all the money in the world, what good is it to have all the money in a dystopian wasteland?
