Dedicated to the readers who just retired; the comfy-chair vote™

This book is for the readers who just retired; the ones who finally have the one thing the whole record needs of a human; time. Time to read slowly, to check a citation, to sit in the comfy chair and actually score the record instead of scrolling past it (and a chapter a day is life; the reader lives longer, so the retirement is longer too). The comfy chair isn't the end of the work; it's the first seat with the time to do it right. And the argument underneath is a floor, not a perk: I'm physically good because I have the time to be; and everyone should get there sooner (build back better, meant literally; time to be well is a right, not a reward for outliving your job). The retired reader is the ideal citizen-scorer; time, perspective, and no boss left to please. So from the comfy chair: read first, then vote; and if you like the work, it's nomination season; nominate the one who came to do it. Kin: only humans score, the author is still available, a chapter a day, I retired before I became evil, the floor not the wage, the comfy-chair vote. (His coin; machine's read, refine to his.)
