France is rebelling over their government's plans to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 years.  Meanwhile, our government contemplates raising the Social Security retirement age to 70 years

Yikes, Physics Girl is quite ill.  Hope she improves.

The numbers are terrible.  We are not doing them a favor enabling them to abuse more drugs.  Separating them from their fentanyl, instead of just giving them money or providing them with tents or a tiny house, is not doing them a favor.  We've play the game long enough.  Time to try a different tactic.

This is what TikTok feeds to America's youth.  China really wants America to rot.  But this may be true with any social media platform.  It sure explains the prevalence of pathologic psychopathic behavior we're seeing so much today.

New York Oregon Sen Ron Wyden is agreeable to making Daylight Saving Time permanent.  We read this every year and nothing happens.  I would vote for making Standard Time permanent, though.  Doing this would be easy for Congress to declare, and I don't know why they won't do it.  Heck, it would provide jobs for software engineers all over, just like what happened with Y2K.

This ronin just buys American Eagles, Austrian Philharmonics and Canadian Eagle gold coins.  Perth Mint gold is cheaper, and this is probably why.  When you make one mistake like this, no one will trust you, even if you identify and root out the inside job.

Truly there are two worlds.  There is this world, where people invest in whisky, handbags, rare automobiles, etc.  And then there is this world, where people struggle to make rent or mortgage payments.  And as I showed in yesterday's post, income disparity began around the mysterious year, 1971.

Tesla steering wheels can just, come off!  Didn't know that.  Did you?

The Biden administration tried to legislate wealth by pausing student loan payments.  Of course, we don't live in fantasy world, so there are real life consequences, and the loan business is hurting.  I understand that the coronavirus pandemic hurt the economy, but the government's policies (not the virus) messed this up.  Now the government is messing things up even further.  But according to Jay Powell, the economy is hot, so workers should easily be able to find jobs that will help them pay off their debt, right? (I jest.)  There are so many moving parts, but the more the government interferes, the worse things get.  Now Biden is even contemplating making everyone pay off others' student debts.  <facepalm.jpg>

OMSI is hosting a Studio Ghibli film festival.  Yay!  (Now, you just have to decide whether you want to risk parking your car at OMSI or risk taking the Max there.)

Crime in Democrat-run cities have gotten so bad, that just sitting in your car looking at your phone is considered risky behavior.
