Succession Sucker Punch
I’m quite sure voters across America and Pope Leo are excited that our president has already circumvented the democratic nomination process by suggesting that his natural successors might be the brilliant Mr. Vance or the talented Mr. Rubio or both.
There’s little doubt these men would carry on the examples already set, which include a devotion to democratic principles, the rule of law, free, fair and open elections, keen, enlightened diplomacy, environmental preservation, deep respect for scientific research, and a culture based on racial and gender equality and economic opportunities for all, wherein wealth and power are in balance with the overall needs of the citizenry.
I’d like my ballot sent early, thanks, because I just can’t wait.

Rent Bent
Rent in the North Bay has become less “cost of living” and more “luxury escape room.” Teachers, artists, service workers and even middle-class professionals are being priced out of the communities they sustain. At some point, a region composed entirely of landlords and tech refugees stops being a community and becomes a lifestyle brand. Think about it.
