If I had a billion dollars:

I'd pay off my bills and the house, put away a little for a rainy day, and give the rest to the Magnificent Democratic Underground.

This place is as American as it gets. It is The Best Thing. It has educated me, comforted me, and kept me alive.

There is no other place like it.

Love. This. Place. Heart and soul.

Live long and prosper, Skinner. Live long and prosper, EarlG.

But that’s a nice sentiment. It would be money well spent.

I've been to many countries, some are corrupt, some very poor, some with a good standard
of living. But this is my country. I won't leave no matter who wins the election. This is my country.

Got here just in time to be settled by Covid Times. Quarantined in paradise.

If I was a billionaire I would give away most to all the people I have loved and who loved me along the way.
