Right...I mean? If I say that the question is a bit hyperbolic, and that the answer is hard soul crushing unnoticed work over decades...then it might lose a little bit of allure, but not fuckin much. We all did that, most of us didn't come out the other end with hamingja. They're gonna put a bust of her up at town hall someday out here in nowheresville. Nine out of ten people in this county got their jobs from her directly over the past decade. As in she knows their names and their kids names and how much left they have on their mortgage and how many payments they've missed, and can miss, without losing their houses. Most of the time, I get confused with one of her employees, lol. They're not entirely wrong. The girl would have been some kind of impossibly benevolent warlord in a previous life.
I think she should run for office...but she wont.
My own missus has been asked more than once (both here and in NI) to stand for office, her usual response is that she’s not politic enough for politics.
