A quotation from Lincoln

As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client. And when you lack interest in the case the job will very likely lack skill and diligence in the performance.

🏛️ THE PRESIDENT DIES

April 15, 1865 — In a small boarding house bedroom across from Ford's Theatre, President Abraham Lincoln slips away at 7:22 AM, eleven hours after John Wilkes Booth's bullet ended his life. His cabinet members gather around the bed in stunned silence as America learns its leader has joined Washington and Jackson in death. The Civil War is essentially over, but the nation's grief has just begun.

What do you do when you live in a kleptocracy, where billionaires making mythical amounts of money pay no tax at all, but everyday Joe and Jane carry the heavy burden of paying for everything necessary to run the country with their taxes?

Simple! You do "government of the people, by the people, for the people", like "socialists" #AbrahamLincoln said, and #FranklinRoosevelt delivered. And socialist without quotes #Mamdani plans to start delivering this year:
