13. I so agree with you, delisen!

But there'll be no one who actively advocates in our favor, I'll lay odds. I love what the governor did, but I also see it as a bit of performance art - knowing it'll go nowhere. WE paid the damned taxes, AND we paid the increases in prices that corporations added on in their bit to "pass on" their costs. But no where will we ever be paid back a 10th of what we've spent. Gotta forgive me. I went to the grocery store yesterday for a week's worth of groceries. Now I'm trying to figure out how to pay the ambulance fee that's overdue. Either pay to eat or to live. That's what we've come to.
