@grumpybozo The EM will not work. It never has, never will. Latching onto as solution just absolves larger community of responsibility.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@grumpybozo Well, you seem to have a very odd understanding of what has happened to our state and what can fix it. But I guess that's easy.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
