AOC. Really?
This freakin’ guy.
Could be derailed or stopped. The best way to think about this is to imagine the goal of trying to rob a safe full of gold on a train. @1880. What is the first thing you have to do? Obviously, you have to get on the train and make it to the safe. Of course that means the
