Ode to William the Silent and His Dog ~ John Kropa
I. A Sudden Convalescence Of Childhood Amnesia
Reminds me that I never got over the superego of my latency
phase and it’s thanks to you dreary

The Three Most Important Things in Transportation – Carl Peter Klapper
The Popular Capitalist View
A key part of the Popular Capitalist program is to reduce the cost of living. A lower cost of providing the necessities puts the rudimentary task of paying the cost of sovereignty more easily within the reach of the political economies of regions with modest resources.

Also, a lower cost of the living beyond survival makes those efforts at building capital more attainable.

But, in the end, the “school” is a school.
