Daniel D's Angry Rants Blog!

Who Cares about the Royal Family?! These are trying times, in the USA and everywhere. A global pandemic has disrupted economies around the world, plunging millions into poverty. In the USA, the bottom half of all households have a negative net worth according to a Bloomberg article  -- and that was BEFORE THE PANDEMIC!  Then there's violent crime and mental health crises and deaths from despair.
