"You can't see torque...."

Driveshaft says otherwise. (Not mine a person in a car group)

Logically I know who the 35% people are, I know a few personally, but it's still completely illogical based on the issues they said they voted on.

There's so much cool shit I want to do but want to do things well.

He has no idea what "being in the trades" looks like without getting paid $200k an episode to do that.

No, too plastic as a real person

It's quickly becoming infrastructure week.... In that it's never gonna happen

I recently talked with Julian Torres from @cnn.com about the value of college, student loan debt, and parents/students making difficult decisions when people are uncertain about the job market and other factors.

Part of that conversation is in this piece.
