If you really wanna mess with them, use a turn signal. No one knows what those are these days. It'll drive them mad. Speaking of which I really miss ol' big ears/ goofy smile.

Not using your turn signal to let others know what the Hell you're doing
is another thorn in the flesh that grinds my gears.

Pops used to say he wanted the last check he wrote to the govt in this life to bounce and bounce high. I hate revenuers and bankers.

Back in the 1980s when they started the 401K program they had to
talk me into it bc I had twin boys & a wife to feed. I needed all my pay check.
They said save up now & in 30 years you'll almost have 300K at retirement.

They say and do a lot of things to gain control of our money. And usually it never seems to go the way they claim. Everyone knows this will be the last generation to see social security as it exists now....and it's already a bankrupt ponzi scheme. Guarantee you there will be an increase in retirement age and/or making it needs based. The most dangerous words in the English language are "I'm from the government and I'm here to help". They've made us dependent debtors and now they want electric vehicles and digital currency. Couldn't be any clearer than if they'd just show us the camps and cages already.

Same. Although I really like Croatia. Think we might go back there. In Turkey we spent time in Instanbul, Dikili and Kusadasi.

Speaking of Turkey, have you ever seen the 1978 movie Midnight Express?
An american gets busted at the airport trying to smuggle drugs out of the country.
He gets brutal prison time for it. Brad Davis (RIP) is in the lead role.

The first thing I did when I retired was paid off my mortgage.
After that it was both cars and those credit card debt. I still
have plenty of money to enjoy my humbled little life. :)

Smart man. That's the key. Get out of debt and stay out of it. Still, they can play games with taxes and get your home/property that way. Sad what they've done to farmers with generational lands. Like they told us.... we'll own nothing and like it.

The way they treat Billy Hayes (Davis) while in prison will piss you off.
I think I went to see it twice at the picture show downtown back then
I liked it so much. You'll like the ending to it. I've also seen it on late
night TV bc of its graphic content warning.
