From personal experience, man was not made to fly sideways on lawn furniture.

You’re the only one to state what should be obvious.

Unless the 16th Amendment is repealed there is nothing to stop some future government from reinstating an income tax.

I’m not sure if this applies to you but any veteran with a service connected disability, even if rated at 0%, can shop in the commissary. There is one commissary in Wisconsin that I know of, at Fort McCoy.
