Do you have anything resembling a "daily driver" or even a small handful of them, or are you constantly rotating?

They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Neither high-quality Alps blues switches nor pristine Omnikey 101s are impossibly rare. It took me a few years but I eventually got both of those and with my soldering iron I created a near-perfect Franken-board.

I know, but people price them like they are. It isn't easy being too poor for one...

No, I have to rotate constantly; I have to work quite far ahead sometimes. Although I've been using a ZKB-2R at work for over two years now.
