Welfare checks are there for people when times are rough. Why'd you vote against it? Because I'm sure he voted against it. Happily, telling himself how immoral it is that people take money from the government.
Yet here he is, saying the gov't has no choice but sending checks. No choice?

In March, I finished The Club Dumas by Arturo Perez-Reverte, which someone recommended because I loved Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum. It's about a guy who trades old books who gets involved in events around a chapter of Dumas' Three Musketeers, as well as comparing old occult books.

In March I read and then listened to the audiobook of El Principito by Antione de Saint-Exupéry, aka The Little Prince.
The Little Prince is the first book I read in the languages I study, and I've recently been trying to get my Spanish into a better place.

Skipping over the other Noobtown books, at the end of February I finished Tour de Lovecraft - The Tales by Kenneth Hite. I've long had a fascination with Lovecraft--mostly the worldbuilding. Hite, an RPG writer, gives various impressions and insights into the stories. Interesting, though light.

In February, I finished What Tech Calls Thinking by Adrian Daub. It was an interesting evaluation of how Silicon Valley thinks about itself and its products, often claiming progress by reinventing things or just breaking laws. Really thought provoking.

The Mayor of Noobtown by Ryan Rimmel. I discovered LitRPG last year, and I've been devouring classic series. LitRPG is a genre where the protagonist is dropped into a world with game stats and (usually) becomes a hero. Very MCU vibe. 8 of my first 9 this year were this series.
