Police, fire department,hospitals, schools, city services.
Great social projects.

Bill's posting persona reminds me of Al, a former near neighbor. Al had opinions. Lots of opinions. He knew a lot, as he would often remind folks. But he was getting old, and not just in years. Like Bill and Trump, AL was that guy who always has vacant stools around his mumble corner at the bar. Asked if he was considering retiring, Al would reply in the negative. Because he was, he claimed, "indispensable."
He has since been dispensed with, of course.
So it goes in the Don-Al-Bill mumble corner.
