Never more clearly evident when looking at the difference between new money and old money.

Only good movies can put you in a good mood

There is no such thing as a free lunch

The word ''work'' appears more than 800 times in Scripture (more than ''heaven'' or ''hell'', although fewer times than ''money''). I think on this a lot.

Social media is like gaming. Yes, we all collect score points (likes) and tokens (reposts), but at the end of the day it can consume hours of your day with no real world benefit. Some earn money from it, just like pro gamers, but for most it's a simple distraction at best.

Maybe it's because you needed to have a real story to tell back in the old days, before anybody gave you the time of day. Now, it's any dipshit with a phone.

Hi, nothing in the DR'S yet

It's coming up to the State of the Nation address time again. If you want to know what the state is, just drive around your neighborhood.

Are the roads in good condition?
Are the road markings clear?
Do the sidewalks have overgrown weeds?
Do you even have side walks?
Are the road sign boards straight, upright and rust free?
Are the traffic lights working?
How about the street lights?
The public parks?

The list goes on and on once you stop to take a look.

Politicians are good at speaking. What they don't understand is that words are useless. Only action matters. Have a look around and see - use your eyes, not your ears.

If the Deep State in the US is seemingly powerful enough to control government policy, why is the Deep State in the EU seemingly unable to do the same? Carbon Zero goals are killing the European Industrial machine. Why is it not doing the same in the US?

Opt out is not easy when you are a salary earner and the tax is deducted by your employer, and you pay sales tax on every purchase. Companies that opt out better have btc payments set up with all their suppliers and customers, for when their bank accounts are frozen. The easiest way for the state to control the population is though institutions like banks, listed companies, etc. It's a much smaller population that in turn touches everyone.
