Firewood. Hmmm.
“I told myself it was beneath my dignity to arrest a man for pilfering firewood. But nothing ordered by the Party is beneath the dignity of any man. And the Party was right: one man desperate for a bit of fuel is pathetic; five million people desperate for fuel will destroy a city. “ —from Dr Zhivago
What about a man desperate for votes! Maybe Biden should offer the same.
Great quote there from Doctor Zhivago.
