Love it, Ben! love YOUR voice. YOU be YOU, my friend. I don't even know where to begin. It was like a smorgasbord for my brain and jumpstarted the gray matter with some new synaptic adventures.

here is just one, of the many tasty tidbits from your piece: "physical labour is degrading unless youโ€™re giving it to a non-citizen, and there is a shortage of help on Marthaโ€™s Vineyard which disproportionally affects those with guest houses with two or more bathrooms." being a child of parents who were the housecleaner/cook &, gardener/farmer for, luckily, a very philanthropic & caring American Blue Blood Family, this made me smile, ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ,โœŠ๐Ÿฝ,& ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿฝ.

As an American in Scotland I plan to make a big announcement when I surrender the flat I colonised from the indigenous Scots.

Brilliant.

I know some people whose perspective is well-represented in this piece. I wonder if they would catch your drift.
