I've been a silversmith, a landscaper and a professional driver but that's not me it's just things I've done. I've performed at the original Renaissance pleasure faire on and off, mostly on, since 1968 Hobby Horse. I have a partner. No DMs.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.
