Advocacy, Sub-Minimum Wage, and Funcles

John and Mark from John’s Crazy Socks are spreading happiness, offering jokes, stories and their usual banter. Here's what’s on their minds tonight: advocating for the rights of people with differing abilities, SSI asset levels, sub-minimum wage, John being a Funcle (fun uncle) and, of course, socks.
