Hi there! Everybody is working overtime, so I guess, so am I, even though I’m not getting paid. Please venmo at iamzaki. Even a few dollars help. I’ll be working on more blog updates in due time.

I believe now is the time to properly apologize to those of us who contribute imperative important work out there. I noticed that Big Tech lost $400 Billion over the past few days. That’s interesting that they had so much money, when they only paid their contractors less than $25/hour.

If you believe in Main Street and not Wall Street, you must join the rest of us and vote for Bernie Sanders. Millionaires and Billionaires act like they care, but at the end of the day, do they really? We got CEOs who make billions of dollars, pay zero taxes, then ask their workers to give up their sick pay / time for other workers. The level of irony is simply ridiculous.

Right now the Corovavirus is embarrassing America. Look at the Administration’s approach, then look at France’s, or Germany’s approach. How about them apples? Anybody still want to make a french fries or wienerschnitzel joke? Why does it take a damn virus for people to wake up and understand Medicare For All is vital to the health of our nation? You better tune in on Sunday for the debate. You will see how Senator Sanders will debate former VP Biden. No paid crowds, no BS. One on one.

I know I have fans. I’m not oblivious. I know you have feedback. It’s okay to write, really. Use the contact form, and send me a note,

If you work in International Relations, please refer me to your Slack channel so we can talk on a daily basis.

It is time to all upon all our superheroes. That means both all the Avengers, and Justice League.

People refused to refer to Trump as Thanos, but now more people agree.

We need Bernie Sanders. We need Medicare For All.

Until next time!
