One. And the proportion supporting him is minuscule, so even though the
donations as such count as generous, the total amount currently is about
a third of a minimum wage job. Which is why I am now looking for one of
those jobs.
To be fair, having had a stroke and consequently having to be consistent
about my blood pressure medication has not exactly helped productivity,
so the very few people still supporting me don't exactly get value I
feel prooud of in return.
I still try to provide technical guidance to my ability, fix a number of
things, and will see 2.20 out the door eventually.
