About Mz

This handle has been retired. My new handle is DoreenMichele.

This handle is pronounced EmZee, not Mizz. It was intended to be initials from an old handle elsewhere -- MZ -- and I typoed it.

TLDR for why I changed it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26814015

As a bonus: I no longer have to wonder if someone is talking to me/about me when they use "mz" to mean Mark Zuckerberg.

    There is one problem with your theory: There is a serious shortfall of affordable housing in the US. So a lot of Americans are having trouble affording even the basics.
