It was the economic recession, before the pandemic, when the crookedness of the big financial institutions crashed the economy & we needed to recover. National Dem Party had not yet accepted the fact that they'd have to fight like hell to get anything we really needed. 

This chapter helps us understand that path we walked with them, as we struggled to get our feet back under us.

Oh, and if at times, Maria & I seem to lose our place just a little bit, it's because my puppy Soshi (short for sociable socialism had just realized that we were not going to get up & put her back in her cage for a minute while we were recording so was crawling all over us. We literally had a puppy up our buts lol)
