Southerner here. It’s this kind of carte blanche thinking that had left the liberals and progressives of the South fighting an uphill battle. When the major party most aligned with our values throws up their hands and withdraws all support, we are left only with our metropolitan counties trying to lead by example, however flawed we may be. I want to help my rural statesmen get the help they need so that they’re above water long enough to realize the true opponent, the 1% aka the new age plantation owners. But when we only have 2-3 counties per state trying to stem the tide while weathering the onerous rulings of a gerrymandered state legislator, it’s slow going. I almost left once, but that’s accepting defeat. I’m not leaving this country if we take a significant rightward turn, because I’ll lose any ability to right the ship. Same goes for the South.

I’ve never listened to Sawbones, but that is sound advice. The movie Pi drove that point home.

Hello fellow McElroy fan.

Now this is the quality sarcasm that has disappeared from Reddit! Stay witty, mon ami!

Edit: this is my high way of saying, “LOL.” 🤣

As a user of YNAB, I’m glad there’s an open source option, as well. The method/approach really clicked for me.
