Please, watch this. Not your typical Texas politician. I think he could be a model for the future. And, if you're following my bluesky account, for whatever reason. I think you'll like him.

over 30 years ago, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated. I took a lot of heat for this speech. https://youtu.be/Bnd0eSuxu84?feature=shared
