Good on ya for participating in efforts to get money out of politics Mr. Wohlforth but I gotta ask why you felt the need to "put on a tie" for your appearance in the lawyers office? I am quite convinced that historians will look back on the appearance of neckties in the 20th century as one of the most ridiculous fashion accoutrements ever foisted on men. Next time you have an appearance just dress like Elon Musk or Steve Jobs by shining the tie in favor of whatever the hell you feel is more comfortable attire. Neckties have become signs of mindless conformity that need to be questioned by more men.
