Kind of a tool, but I mean well. I also have too many hobbies, plus my kids’ hobbies, so I’m bad at all of them.
Scenario 3: Order It. You give your directions to a baker, they give you a cake. Maybe they got a detail wrong, and you asked them to fix it or bake you another cake.
When you give it to your friend, do you say, “I baked this for you?”
Would you say, “Chef Ghirardelli and I baked this for you?”

Scenario 2: From a box. You buy a cake mix box and pre-prepared frosting from the store. You still do some mixing, add water, maybe an egg, and bake it.
When you give it to your friend, do you say, “I baked this with Betty Crocker?”
Do you correct them if they think you made it from scratch?

Scenario 1: From Scratch. You bought the eggs, milk, flour, sugar. You mixed them yourself, baked them in the oven, and frosted it.
When you give it to your friend, can you say you baked them a cake?
If the eggs came from your chicken, would it feel better or worse to mention that?

The question is really: what are we going to do now that we let it go on so long?

Oligarchs already owned us.
People were already “a little racist” or “hated everyone equally.”
Police and soldiers already killed civilians.
Trump didn’t change them. He’s given them permission to be who they’ve always been.
