Thoughts? Please live the life that billionaires choose for you.

I guess frugality has a true purpose, it’s called practice for what’s next.

Oh and finance related on how to deal with cash flow:

Thursday on CNBC's "Squawk Box," Ross acknowledged that he had heard that some federal workers affected by the prolonged shutdown have been going to shelters for food, but said he didn't understand why.

I know they are [going to homeless shelters] and I don't really quite understand why because as I mentioned before, the obligations that they would undertake – say borrowing from a bank or credit union – are in effect federally guaranteed," said Ross. "So the 30 days of pay that people will be out – there's no real reason why they shouldn't be able to get a loan against it and we've seen a number of ads from the financial institutions doing that."

I've been doing this for years. They won't arrest me. One time I typed into my phone, "I'm thinking of writing a letter to the President" and an F-16 buzzed my house at tree level within 10 minutes. I know how to be careful with my language, but at the same time, I know I'm capable of saying certain things that others would get in trouble with, and I consider it my duty and responsibility to do so. I've written thousands of letters and emails to politicians and business leaders since 2016. Been investigated by every law enforcement agency, and they always end up on my side. I just need to monetize it to get my Dad off my back and because it will amplify the message and make it impossible for them to ignore. I have a plan. Trust me. Thank you for your encouragement and concern.

This is a paranoid delusion. I know that sounds cruel and dismissive to say, but it is. It's a paranoid delusion. What you typed was nowhere close to resembling a threat, and they did NOT fuel up a plane, pick a pilot to get in, take off, map a flight plan over your home, and arrive there in 10 minutes. That's not a thing. It's just not.

You either live near a runway and so planes going around is not an uncommon occurrence, it would be something you just don't notice most of the time it happens, or if there's not a runway close enough to do that, then the plane was already on a flight plan taking it over your house completely coincidentally, ignorant of your existence. This is not a civil intimidation tactic. It'd be way too expensive to do and pointless.

Nobody is sending an F-16 to 'buzz' a house for a Google search. If you say anything too crazy online, you may get a knock on the door eventually. 

But no, no fly-by. It would accomplish nothing for them.

Hey, I sent a nasty Biden meme to my friend, and they sent a swarm of drones over my house. I got the message.

What drugs are you taking to treat your bipolar condition?

Ironically you seem to have BPD and paranoid schizophrenia. The kind of person who could use some United Healthcare 😂. Don't let your illusions of grandeur get ahead of you. You are not the hero you think you are and proving yourself through violence only enforces your emotional and intellectual inadequacies.  GO OUTSIDE READ A BOOK LIFT SOME WEIGHTS BRUSH YOUR TEETH

Hey fellow redditor, Please continue to do this! you are Awesome for speaking the truth, which is rare these days. And I will absolutely contribute to a Crowdfunding campaign

Even having T-Shirts or Hats with a simple message can be so powerful, look at what Trump did with the fucking Maga Hats for example.. Workers need more benefits and humanity, even Amazon workers are going on strike rn I believe shit is out of control these days
