If you make the case that he doesn't belong in the HOF for either his playing or coaching careers, is there a way for voters to consider him for his combined contributions? Like sum total of playing and coaching adds up to HOFer?

I'm 40, single/no kids, make about $130k, safe union job (modest pension upon retirement), in NYC, live in 3 br rent stabilized ($840/mo), zero debt (pay CC balances every month), exceptional credit, generally pretty frugal, almost $70k savings (HYSA), would like to move into local 1 br sometime in the next year ($2k-2.5k/mo). I have no investments whatsoever, mostly because I've never had money to invest, but getting this job last year changed a lot for me. I have a real aversion to investing in obviously bad companies (big oil, MIC, surveillance, etc.). Looking for long term growth. Pretty convinced we are in a market bubble (AI, housing). I want to get some money growing soon, but I also want to stay liquid in order to facilitate a move/take care of emergencies.

Where should I look at starting?

Any and all advice and perspectives welcomed.

I'm a member of a big local union that is pretty powerful in local and state politics. My politics are definitely more to the left of the average candidate that my union endorses, and it generally endorses in big races that already have very progressive, pro-union candidates (often union members themselves). I want to be more involved in my union on the political side of things, but this is tough to navigate because the endorsements seem to be done completely by union admins. Anyone else deal with this problem before? How do you approach your union about figuring out how they make these decisions and maybe getting members more involved in the process?
