Here’s some perspective.

Americans:
•Cancel student debt!
•Cancel medical debt!
•Make insulin free!

Most of Developed World:
•What is student debt?
•What is medical debt?
•Insulin is already free!

As @leo celebrates his birthday recently, I have been working on my family tree and I came across this picture from a Screensavers studio visit back in 2003 for a live show with my Dad (Arthur) and family. Such a young looking Leo.

This goof ball is 2 today. Wife is super excited for his birthday party with this friends. It has been a tough couple of years, but with an amazing vet, and meds, he is starting to become a great companion. Dogs also have mental health issues, so if you are thinking of sending your dog to be re-homed find a good vet and talk about mental health.
