Yo! My name's John.
I recently graduated college and recently retired to read and write on the internet all day. I spend a lot of time studying and writing about politics, economics, and higher education administrative & financial issues. Why? I want more people to have access to education, I want government to be more efficient and accountable, and I don't expect it to happen unless someone works at it. Also, I'm not very good at following directions so I'm better off being my own boss.
Otherwise, I like to spend time with my better half and ponder the meaning of life with my friends. I played bass in a metal band in high school, but I guess I'm pretty boring these days.
