Really all I've been talking about here is access to the ECONOMIC status quo, because we're talking about the movement of "the majority" of a generation along political axes.

The two often go hand in hand, but not always.

Today is my sixth heartiversary! So far, so good! I have had a much easier time of it than many transplant patients. I've been very lucky from the moment I got accepted onto the waiting list, and I am very greatful to the medical team and to all my friends who have made this an easy journey so far. And grateful to everyone who is willing to be an organ donor!

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
