How does a citizen justify paying a parking ticket, alimony or obeying any court order? We have our example, right?

Unseen,

We need to start planning for a world where many citizens won’t have jobs but somehow aren’t destitute. Not having a traditional job doesn’t necessarily mean sitting on the couch eating bon-bons and watching TV. I, for example, don’t have a job but am active all day long.

Oh, yeah, @Enco, I do enjoy the old Fleetwood Mac.

I hope, as time goes on, we’ll see this song translated into Arabic, Parsi, and Urdu:

Servicing and repairing AI would be easier work, which is consistent with what Americans actually want, despite saying that they want more factory jobs at home.

Thanks.

Robert,

Parents like this are arguments for vaccines provided in Epi-Pens with temperature-controlled delivery service…as well as home vasectomy and tubal ligation kits for those too dumb for the vaccines.
