May 2019

Have (had) a Fox News-watching friend and entrepreneur who railed about regulations and Democrats and Bill Clinton (goes back a ways) putting him out of business...when in reality it was big corporations undercutting and sabotaging him at every turn. Happened more than once in the 90s and early 00s: he'd come up with a good idea/product; work his butt off to get it into the marketplace and then watch his business go under, swamped by someone else with deeper pockets and the ability to run faster with his ideas....

It was all the Democrats' fault though. I eventually gave up on him. Don't even know if he luvs him some tRump; last I heard (2014?) he was hoping to retire and move to Belize i.e. "get out of this effed up country."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
