What took him so long? Rich white liberals dominating a sector of the economy based near the Bay Area - he must be slipping. If this were the eighties this poverty pimp would have pounced on this low hanging fruit by now.

How old is Jesse now?

To him, “high tech” has something to do with
longer lasting vacuum tubes.
