Let the buyer beware

I had other plans for my Saturday evening and Sunday morning, but I’m obsessed with understanding how I have a $3000 charge on my Paypal account that I helped a scammer create. In my initial excitement, I had signed up for a trial of Linkedin premium account thinking that it would be helpful in launchingContinue reading “Let the buyer beware”

My coal miner was actually from Kentucky which helps me to understand the migration described in Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance.
