Fall is in the air, pumpkin-everything is everywhere, we only have to complain about e-bikes before and after school hours now, and Election season is upon us.
Every couple of years, we experience this special time of unity and civil enthusiasm, where everyone easily agrees on the solutions we all intrinsically know are best for the issues we all universally agree are, indeed, issues.
But since we have orbited about 185 million miles since the last election, we put together this super simple and easy-to-follow guide to refresh our collective memories on how we know what we know and why we can know anything at all, resulting in who we should all vote for of course..…continue reading
