An interesting read, thank you for sharing. "I have the strange feeling, this week in Kyiv, that Ukrainians are living freer lives now than Americans."

I just read and recommend: Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom.

Congrats. I recently became a podcast knitter -- knitting while listening to other knitters on their podcasts. www.youtube.com/live/FZxiaXu...

It's mostly blind decision trees like this that causes huge mistakes. When Elon fired a large group of employees at Twitter, he learned who he needed and who he didn't (the software was running as it had been built). You do the same thing at the federal level and you actually kill people.

I'm reading Master Slave Husband Wife by IIyon Woo and I'm sensing a lot of similarities to the plight of undocumented people in our country and the fugitive Southern slaves who escaped North in the pre-war era. Lots of literature and film, especially sci-fi, is going to feel timely right now.

Lol!

Breaking through the border adds a lot to this piece!

I truly remember this TV show from my youth and learned a lot from it.
