  • If you’re also bitter about it, don’t buy wireless earbuds from the phone brands. Samsung, Apple, etc.

    Admittedly it’s not a big thing, but I don’t think we should directly financially reward the same people who took the aux port from us.

    Sennheiser is good but sometimes at bit more spendy. I like Jabra Elite 8 Actives, for dust/dirt/sweat resistance. Maybe the sound isn’t quite as nice, but I’m fine with it. And Jabra isn’t a company that took the aux port out of our phones.

    Keep busy with something. The day a man retires is the day he begins to die. Always keep busy, just try to be happy about it & maybe take a slower pace.

    A couple years back, I saw a really old woman slinging fries at McD’s. She seemed happy enough, not destitute, this job was just something not too difficult to do to pass the time.

    I’m more of a coffeeshop guy, myself. I could see myself doing that.






  • To leave the US isn’t as easy in itself…to leave, and sever all financial ties, even moreso. I think you must renounce your US citizenship to stop paying income taxes. $2400 + any exit fees, for those with a little more built-up wealth.

    Where to go, where to land, is another big question. Nerds with their remote working jobs can go anywhere, work from anywhere, and get their money. I am a blue collar laborer. Pros & cons to that, but it does physically limit where one can go & make a halfway successful, nice living.

    I do believe the US is in decline. This could be a Rome type situation, where it is in decline for centuries. When you’re at the top, there’s a long way to fall. It might be best to position yourself accordingly, and not make any rash decisions.
