Lol, "I don't want government but where's my social security check?"

LOL. They took it, so why shouldn't we want it back?

Exactly. It's only an "entitlement" if you're drawing money you never invested in the program. Illegal aliens, dipshidts too lazy to work, thugs like that. For the rest of us, it's probably the only retirement option we had that was worth putting money into.

Corporations fold, rob the retirement fund and give it to CEO's who make every year what most of us made in a lifetime, and then shuffle the top of the pyramid and create a "new" company with the money they stole from their workers.

The advantage here is that we can vote the people in charge out of office. But, we almost never do. And they count on that, that and brainwashing the young into thinking that the folks who are receiving the benefits are getting something for nothing. Soon, those young folks will be old, and suddenly they'll realize that they whined so much about the money that the old folks were getting "for nothing", and now their money's gone, too.

Wah! Wa-aah!

Not sure what the wah wah was for but I never said it was an entitlement or that you didn't earn it or anything else. I was just trolling with a juxtaposition of hating or not liking the government vs. relying on a government social programs hahaha.

Toodles and smooches!

lol
Very sorry about that, that comment was just me ranting about general societal attitudes and not aimed at you, at all. Seriously. Pretty much the whole thing had nothing to do with you in particular, and more to do with other stuff from other places. My bad for not recognizing that you'd take it as directly spoken to you.

I'm thinking of taking my Cafelat Robot espresso machine camping this weekend so I'm trying out the coffees I have roasted up to see which one to bring. I have a Peru Cajamarca first which has some sweetness and earthiness and an Ethiopia Guji Gogogu Washed which has a lighter flavor and more berry sweetness second. Also, I had my morning cup of the Peru, so I'm starting to vibrate a bit but the winner is the Guji coffee.

Too bad the images are stretched out horizontally. It looks like it may look better for images that haven't been cropped. Hmm.

Made my yearly trip to the county courthouse to pay property taxes today. Our county has a program where by paying early you get a discount. Payments in the month of October receive a 5% discount, and if you pay in the first week it is 7%.
The real shock this time was when I was told our property taxes rates actually went down.

Can't believe this is a first time I have heard this. Appreciate the share.

That's funny! When I saw this, here, my first thought was "Wow, I just listened to that a couple hours ago". Love John Prine, always have. One of the most overlooked and under appreciated talents ever.
