Free Beer

 Some locales are now offering slackers a free beer if they get vaccinated. That may help with tRump supporters. And it reminded me of my grandfather, who joined the KKK in Taft because the recruiter told him they served free beer. 

A hundred years ago the California KKK was mostly a pyramid scheme. It cost ten bucks to join. If you talked someone else into joining, you got to keep half of his ten dollars. That was good money. 

There was, of course, no free beer. After having his photo taken wearing a white sheet, my grandfather quit, bitter and unforgiving.
