I enjoyed watching #TheAmericanRevolution, the five part #television series by Ken Burns. It reminded me that Ben Franklin, who was a huge help to winning this war by convincing France to come to our aid, was also known for writing #PoorRichardsAlmanac. Why would he call it that? He chose this name to sell more copies of it, implying that even if you are poor, you can afford to buy it, and that it is so important that it is worth buying even if you are poor.
