A retired high-tech glassblower, lifelong learner and critical digital humanist, I glean meaning from experiences and tell stories.
Born in Hollywood the year James Dean died, grew up in Nixon's Whittier as Disney's land metasticized in nearby Orange County.
I worked in "Surveillance Valley" for 20 years.
Now back in Whittier.

While I'm seeing some discussion of market manipulation, I haven't seen any one on the left I follow talking about war profiteering. It takes weeks for oil to be refined, and I thought the US is basically oil independent, so why have gas pump prices risen daily since we attacked Iran?
