It can be hard to do math in your head, while standing up, on national television. Nerve-wracking, too. But even so, in twenty seconds on the air, I did a better job than the President in costing his latest idea and figuring out whether his new idea of a $2,000 rebate check will work. (It won't.)

My social strategy non-strategy: optimism, Canadian friendliness, reading obsession, heart on sleeve, zero chill, kindness by default. It doesn't yield the clout that comes from feeding the outrage machine, but the people that do come along for the ride are lovely to be around. 🥰
