The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogr)am).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
Enjoy today’s cryptogram

Why would they be so concerned with banning gas powered vehicles and gas powered stoves and changing everything to electric ? Maybe so they could throw the switch to off whenever.
We work so the parasites won’t have to.
W is being used for two other letters.
T is being used for two other letters.
V is being used for two other letters.

SOCIALISM IN GENERAL HAS A RECORD OF FAILURE SO BLATANT THAT ONLY AN INTELLECTUAL COULD IGNORE OR EVADE IT. — THOMAS SOWELL
HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
Two wolves and a sheep voting on the menu.
I received a letter from Social Security (I’m retired).
It said if I don’t send the guy the documents he needs by the end of the week I could lose my benefits.
It didn’t say what information he needed, what this was about or anything.
I called MANY times. He never answered or returned the calls.
I went to the SS office. After 7 hours I was able to speak to someone. They told me he doesn’t have time to answer the phone or to return calls. They couldn’t tell me what it was about, either.
I finally got to speak to the guy after several weeks. It wasn’t anything to do with me: it was about my sons.
*** Now I’m going through another round of similar junk from SS. ***
SO, I AGREE WITH THE QUOTE FROM TODAY’S CRYPTO.
Thanks.
