I'm Tom McGorty -- retired, living in East Texas with my partner Lora in a 55+ RV community. After five years of full-time travel we have a home base now, but we still hit the road when the urge strikes. I'm 79 years old, on Social Security and Medicare, and I've been paying attention for a long time.

I got fed up staying quiet. So I stopped.

I use Claude AI as a research and writing partner. Every idea and argument is mine. Claude helps me find the facts and organize my thinking. I disclose that because you deserve to know.
