In secondary college, it was a bicycle round trip of 10 km, rain, hail or shine. Doing my degree, an hour each way by train. I guess the only thing you have to be proud of is your nasty nature.

I don't pretend to know everything, that's just a put-down of yours. I'm afraid I am unable to grasp the position of people who ignore facts and logic. You're wasting my time, bye bye.

Yes they do. As far as they are concerned, the enemy is within.

There's an over-abundance of people outside as well. It's what you get when you give tax cuts to billionaires.

Surprises me as well.

If you think Trump's tariffs are going to help ordinary people with their cost of living, you are delusional. Economics 101. If you think tax cuts for billionaires are going to help the average person, you are most definitely full of it. Trickle down economics is a thin disguise for wealth inequity. Sure, life is good for me. I have empathy. Look it up.

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I don't hate Trump. I despise him for what he is doing to ordinary people, giving them false hope. That's quite apart from his total lack of decency and integrity.

Parkinson's LAW, not Parkinson's syndrome. OTOH, dementia tests might be warranted.

Trust fund kid? I paid for my first bicycle, set of golf clubs and car by a combination of caddying, and scavenging scrap metal from the local garbage tip. Copper, brass, aluminium and lead. Workplace regulations would make that impossible nowadays. Caddying as kids died out about 40 years ago in Australia. Yes, I am proud of what I have achieved with hard work. What do you have to be proud of?

IMO your posts are more like Parkinson's Law at work, than the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Putin has changed Russian law to enable first strike capability. Formerly it was only in response to attack by nukes. Please keep up.

Not looking for kudos, just comparing what it was like back then to what it is now.

Yes. Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg. It's easy enough to look up their individual net worth. People face struggles because current taxation structures favor such people, whereas low and middle income earners are hit more heavily. For example, Trump paid $750 tax in 2016 and 2017. Someone on $50,000 pa pays $5900.

My education was paid for by scholarships. I owed nothing when I finished my degree. I usually had a new job lined up before I quit the previous one.

Try reading my post again - slowly this time.
