Re: libertarian vs authoritarian
Seems to me that most people prefer libertarianism for themselves and authoritarianism for “those other a-holes”.
(That guy just cut me off, where’s a cop when you need one?).
Most rural people tend towards libertarianism (except in cases of property line or water right disputes).
Most urban people tend toward authoritarianism to get that guy to turn down his boom-box, pick up his litter, show a little consideration, etc.
I’m mostly...”Leave me alone to my own devices, but if you need help, I’ll be there.” “F*** with me and I’ll kill you.
I couldn’t find a picture online of the sculpture at sunset.
“ But, consider this.... If you start SS at 62 and get the max, by the time you are 70 you will have accumulated approximately $250,000. If you wait until you are 70, at 124% of the max SS payment, it will take you 10 years to catch up. That’s before interest.”
Another thing to consider, and one of my top priorities is quality of life. I would hate to have refrained from living my life to the fullest in order to have a bit more money at 80 years old when it’s likely I won’t be able to do a ton of things at that age. I would consider it a major failure to have a couple million in the bank at 80 or 90 years old (when I’m physically unable to do a lot of things) because I passed on opportunities at an age when I was able. Even worse would be to work until 70 and die at 80. My goal in life is not to leave a large inheritance.
Marry a Prottie and convert to Catholicism after marriage.
Or Orthodox.
I find it hard to trust anybody these days.
WTH is right! TBD + WWG1WGA :)

Re Pompeo Boot:
Hmm. Trolling? Posobiec had an intriguing tweet about him recently.
I've been watching those cams for several days. They are live but you can scroll backwards thru time. have yet to see any smoke or emergency vehicles running around.
Instead, I see light traffic and even people with their children strolling around or playing.
Hi.
“My goal in life is not to leave a large inheritance.”
My goal too with one caveat. The First lady doesn’t have to work or worry about care.

Entirely possible he hurt his foot.
:: My goal in life is not to leave a large inheritance. ::
THIS...right here...is why GEN-X plots against us.
:: KANSAS got a boot? !?!?!?!? ::
What better way of tracking him.
Wasn’t he SecState at one time?
Lots of contacts in Taiwan ya’think?
The Spoopy Bunch.
Blind & a drive-by today.
Re: Posobeic
If it hasn’t already been said, he and his wife are practicing Catholics and Polish, but she is an immigrant, I think. They admire Poland wholeheartedly on faith and fight, and want its security at probably almost any cost.
As for Pompeo, he wants to be president, and has navigated Trump by appreciating the muscular tone of DJT, but no bluntly personal support on the relationship. Not sure if he even wants DECERTIFICATION, or another Trump term.

thankQs !!!
Real war zone, eh?
I am woefully and hopelessly behind on this thread.
I just wanted to thank everyone for their info on SS and Medicare. It’s awfully complicated isn’t it?
I stayed home with the kids for 22 years and only have about 18 years of contributions, so my SS won’t be much.
The plandemic cost me the job I thought I would stay in until retirement. I hope to work again but in the meantime some things in our lives have changed and I’m not sure when or if returning to work will happen.
My husband has been collecting for a few years now. He waited and gets the max. We decided I would begin collecting now because of his deteriorating health. He is 10 years older than me. He wants us to both collect while he is still living so that we don’t have to touch savings/retirement accounts except in emergencies.
