Great story Zack. it reminds me of a true story I once read. A woman was driving to work and suddenly the car in front of her suddenly stopped, the driver door opened and a woman got out to go to the back seat of her car. The woman behind her was swearing at her, she was making her late to work. Then she found out the woman in front had gone to her child in the back seat because the child was choking. The hurried woman, finally understood. Now she calmed down. And I tell myself and others, “baby in the backseat”. You never know what someone is going thru.

OMG....you're SEVENTEEN, and you have not only READ the Zoo Story - you understand it!!! You give me such HOPE!!!

FYI...I discovered your writing on Substack through The Lever. THANK YOU for that article about funneling money through Guam for the RNC.

I'm going to tell everyone I know about your Substack publication.

Seriously, I'm so impressed, and you're so inspiring! Keep up the great work, and hold onto your capacity for compassion and empathy. It's a rare and beautiful thing now more than ever. You have a BIG fan from Indiana. :)
