I live in the Washington, D.C. area, where I work for both profitable and intentionally non-profit ventures. I specialize in highlighting some of the skeletons in the closets of would-be do-gooders -- you know, the people who think you're too stupid to make your own food choices, find a job that pays market wages, or keep a job without a union boss's protection.
Cheers, Bret
