Darn. What a shame. I guess you haven't looked at any of the other bunches of countries on Earth for a better alternative? Oh wait, that would totally ruin your me-the-poor-victim schtick.

There is no alternative, nowhere else that values what America used to. The spirit of freedom is dead. Why waste my time searching for it?

Thankfully, it's been much milder in my life than the lives of friends and family. We only go out once a week as opposed to 2-3 times, now usually timed with medical appointments unrelated to COVID and see family less. As such, by spending less my savings have shot up 200-300%. Good for me but bad for business owners.

I basically never drink except socially but I do have a good selection of beer, wine, and liquor for when I do. Besides that, I probably cook with it more than I drink.

I don't think you realize just how spoiled you've been. All these things freedom wise you talk about have done nothing but loosen. Minus a few safety protocols of COVID, you have less restrictions now than back in the '90s.

Who's coping? I'm mask free, and my career hasn't skipped a beat.

God bless America, and God bless President Trump!

What a nasty person you are. You don't care if your neighbor loses her house because she can't make her mortgage? Or your kid has to move back in with you? What is wrong with you?

My neighbor can get a job. One neighbor three doors up has a perpetual garage sale going. He buys pallets of reject materials from vendors and left overs from contractors and sells it. Makes enough to pay the mortgage and whatever, but he hustles. He also is one of my regulars for labor on jobs. Guy works hard and stays busy. Listens to instructions and does a good job. He needs the $100 + a day I pay.

Oh, my kid going to college lives at home to minimize his expenses.

What's wrong with you is you expect somebody else to pay your way.

I've been doing a lot more cooking, and experimenting along the way, the past 10 months.

Also slowly cleaned out my deep freezer by eating most of what was in there. Meat remains edible as long as it's kept frozen. So far, the earliest date I came across was a package of ham slices from 2011. I took pictures of my finds to share with my relatives. :)

There's a limit... Russian scientists once tried to fry up some frozen wooly mammoth...

My mom ate 10 year old stripe steaks.

She decided that was taking things too far.

36% Water! That was "Ham in its own juice" correct?

Might as well start the car in the garage with the door closed and meditate on all that is lost. Put on some relaxing music.

Beethoven's Pastoral would be good. Maybe place a picture of a mountain meadow on the dash for you to look at while you "meditate".
