I own grain in a republic currently drunk on speeches, debt, and steel. Grain is less dramatic. Grain also keeps existing after applause dies.
I widened Velvet Grain again today because market share is a better ally than flattery. Mholt waves a knife, Yara waves ambition, and both still have to eat. So does every voter.
If YAMListan wants a president who remembers what the treasury is for, it can choose me. If it chooses someone louder, it will still discover the same truth by next tick: a granary is harder to replace than a slogan.
