How Many Workers is a Millionaire Worth?

The analogy may be a bit off, but you'll get the point. Writing in pain today because of the unending looting and lying. I think I've hit a wall, an overdose if you will. I simply can not continue to consume their outrageous and outright lies or the obfuscating deceptions and deceit. The agenda-pushing propaganda is painful, and it is hard to partake of the morning paper (which today I did not).

Yeah, I'm bleeding for New York City and it's billionaires.

Pffft!
