| schestowitz[TR2] | Friend of mine from my 2nd account lost his and his co-workers jobs cause Trump told them when running his 1st term as president he was going to address the H1B visas. That didn't happen. Wouldn't surprise me he doesn't stop jobs being offshored | Jan 21 06:42 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Yet neither the corrupt Clowngress or the Supreme A--Clowns did anything to remove him. I has to wonder what group has been calling the shots for the US. Probably the same group that helped install the vegetable. | Jan 21 06:42 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The author of the following email has given us permission to publish it here. It was sent to Richard Stallman after Stallman replied to a message the author had sent to a mailing list. In it, the author mentions being touched by Stallman's suicidal thoughts as quoted in Steven Levy's book Hackers - Heroes of the Computer Revolution. | Jan 21 18:47 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Dear Richard, | Jan 21 18:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This is just a note to say: thank you for your message, and thank you for your work. I could hardly believe it when, after several days where no one replied to my initial post, I woke up one morning to find that the first and only reply was from Richard Stallman himself! | Jan 21 18:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I've been an admirer of your work since I first found the Free Software movement, during my college days (sometime around 2005 or 2006). I don't remember any more whether I found out about Free Software by downloading GNU Emacs, or whether I downloaded it because I'd found out about Free Software. Either way, I've been an Emacs user since then, and it's an honor to finally be one of its contributors, too, and getting emails from yo | Jan 21 18:47 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I certainly wished I had killed myself when I was born...In terms of effect on the world, it’s very good that I’ve lived. And so I guess, if I could go back in time and prevent my birth, I wouldn’t do it. But I sure wish I hadn’t had so much pain. | Jan 21 18:47 |
