If you live In Massachusetts you must vote yes on Q2 for ranked choice voting which insures elected officials have the support of a majority of voters and drives candidates to offer solutions that meet the needs of the majority of voters- not the extremes

The weakness of the asset light model in the restaurant industry ( heavy franchising and heavy debt) is now apparent. Thank you Jonathan for helping us understand why it will lead to the downfall of so many companies and franchisees.

There's no 'both sides' at this point. There's a side encouraging violence against opponents. There's a side fighting to not count votes. There's a side promising to roll back our rights, stop immigration, and indoctrinate our children. There's America or Trump. #LincolnProject
