    Read a collection of Solomon Kane stories by Howard. Some of these I have read before, some of them were new to me. I have to say that Kane is more dogged than Jonah Hex, tracking a bandit across the ocean, across Europe into Africa, and then tracking him to where he has set up as the right hand of the chief in the jungle. This is a pursuit that took up years of Kane's life.
     
    Favorite of the batch is The Return of Richard Grenville and the melancholic Solomon Kane's Homecoming.

    While this is a bit of crankiness, given the subject matter, I'm putting it here.
     
    I had to drop off a package at the local post office, and I noticed a little stand on the sidewalk, with a big sign saying, "Defend Trump". I was going to ignore them, but as I was getting back into my car, one of them waved me over. Probably not his best idea. After I asked why are we defending a billionaire, his response was, "well, they're trying to take it away."
    To which I responded, "Good. He deserves it." I then gave him a short rundown of how he stiffed a company I worked for ("I don't know the details of that"). So, then I explained to him about how Trump Tower was built using undocumented workers. I finished by saying that he is dangerous, should never be near the presidency again, and that he should be locked up. I then wished them a good day, and left. As I was getting back in my car, the gentleman I had been talking to looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

    I'll grab Ted Kord. I always liked him the best despite how DC has treated him over the years.

    I am going with another time traveler, The Doctor. He is grossly overskilled compared to the people he deals with, can time travel and has changed events to suit him, and is nearly unkillable with marrying his primary assassin on his bingo card.

    Nobody said that. What was said is that companies could pay more but don't because their executives are too busy taking everything like the hostess people expecting the unions to bail them out of their fourth bankruptcy while they are plating their bathrooms with gold like Jim Bakker used to do.
     
    Both of these videos are years old, but it's what people were talking about and still applies now.

    I work at a fast food place now. Prices have gone up ten fifteen dollars. Cost has gone up one dollar. Wages have gone up three dollars because they couldn't staff. I live in the south. The average rent for housing is 1k+

    Doesn't matter. The point stands. He had to give the money for his contract back, had his new team pay to take him making his former employers a little bit richer and he has to move away from his former team. He said I'm not playing, and they said goodbye.
