“IIRC, it is draining funds to cover disability that is causing the problem. And “disability” is, IMHO, mostly a scam.”
I personally know 3 people on disability. One is a faker but got an attorney and won their case, and now lives a normal life of leisure. The second had a stroke and lost sight in one eye, but is otherwise healthy and carries on life normally. The other has Parkinson’s and is losing ability to function daily. IMO, only the Parkison patient is truly disabled and deserves supplemental disability income because they cannot work.

We carried bear spray while hiking in Alaska a few years ago. When we went to Yellowstone last year, a ranger at the visitor center showed us how to actually use the spray canister. We realized then that we would have been bear dung in Alaska had a bear decided to eat us because we really didn’t know how to operate the canisters correctly. Confession of one of the dumbest things I’ve done in the outdoors.
We had seen signs of bear scat on the trails in Alaska.
It seemed that Yellowstone is MUCH more serious about bear safety than Alaska. Probably because of the amount of concentrated influx of tourists.

I left FB during 2016 election because I saw how biased it was.
I left Twitter after I was suspended for saying men can’t be women.
I left Youtube tonight when I found my identity was used for login... not authorized.
I deleted “anonymous” Reddit account tonight.
I really expect that eventually my real name will be associated with this account.
I haven’t said anything that I wouldn’t say in real life. Maybe that is the point. Maybe I don’t want it broadcast across the universe. Maybe I want the choice to do so. Or not.

“One can only lay the blame at the people in charge for the last 4 years. BidenFLATION, BidenOMICS etc.”
Young people are being priced out of owning a home and getting ahead due to inflation. Brandon didn’t cause the $$trillions deficit, but he made the money printing presses go brrrrrrrrrrr and is stifling fossil fuel production, which is making everything worse very quickly.
