Where do you live?

Check with the local library. Tehre may be local options you are unaware of. In my area the police auction off items they have retrieved, it's possible to get a bike that way.

If you're learning to ride as an adult, it's a good idea to ride on soft ground because you are going to fall. Get a helmet and good gloves.

Rudy was a bully when he was NYC Mayor. He happily jailed fare beaters and squeegee men to 'protect' the citizens.

I only wish he'd been forced to hand over the assets personally.

Everyone feels their own feelings.

It might take you a while to process everything.

One more thing...

Make an extra set of keys before you move in.

Sanders is almost 90. You cant count on him to survive his term, much less create a new Party.

No 3rd party has won the Presidency in modern times.

If you want to see change, look at what's actually worked in the past.

Back in the day, a guy named Jerry Falwell made himself a power in the GOP by a simple trick.

Both Parties, Dems and GOP have local clubs that make the small scale choices that keep things moving. They pick the county clerks and sheriffs. If the local GOP club had had twenty people at the meeting that chose the country clerk, Falwell's folks would show up with fifty.

After a while, those county clerks were becoming Congresspeople.

Liquor stores have the best boxes and the clerks hate having to break them down. Go to the local liquor store and ask them for boxes. You'll get all you need.

Another good trick. Instead of packing delicates like plates with paper, use clean clothes. T-shirts will keep things from breaking and you cut down on the number of boxes.

The Left keeps not voting in hopes the Dems will come to them.

It's not going to work next time either.

I'm sure that the same people who couldn't deliver Bernie Sanders an overwhelming win in 2020 can suddenly become savvy pols who can just put together a national third party.

If you want action, do what AOC and the others in her squad did. Work inside the Dem party.

Take a lesson from the right. Back in the 1970s Jerry Falwell decided to take control of the GOP. He did it from the ground up. If the local GOP club had had twenty people show up to the last meeting to pick the next county clerk, Falwell's people would show up with fifty people. Soon those county clerks and sheriffs were becoming Congresspeople and Senators.

Politics is a game and the left sucks at playing it.

Do yourself a favor and wait.

There's a good chance you could make your condition worse.

This is when you bite the bullet and talk to a trained professional.
