I have also much liked the public condemnation of wearing perfumes (in
Canada) so that it is now safer for me to go about without fear of
migraines. No scents is good sense - was the slogan in Canada and it
worked.

Define "unnecessary amounts".

So in Canada I would not be allowed to splash on my usual 4711, Aqua - Velva aftershave, or
Florida Water, and then perambulate about upon the public way...???
 
Would I be chided - or even arrested - by The Royal Canadian Mounted Thought Police...???

Are inspections really about safety?
Clearly, mandatory inspections are no guarantee that unsafe vehicles
will stay off the road. Even if vehicle inspections worked perfectly,
they'd still only affect a tiny fraction of car crashes. Federal
investigators have found that mechanical component failures are
responsible for only 2 percent of accidents.
 
More here:
https://www.theamericanconsumer.org/2019/06/do-mandatory-vehicle-inspections-really-make-us-safer/
 
when researchers dig into the data, they consistently fail to find any
significant reduction in motor vehicle injuries or fatalities in states
that have mandatory inspections. In 2015, the Government Accountability
Office, Congress's nonpartisan watchdog, found that the existing
research "has generally been unable to establish any causal
relationship" between inspection requirements and crash rates.
 
One thing's for sure: Inspection mandates create artificial demand for
auto mechanics, giving unscrupulous shops the incentive to make up
nonexistent defects, accept bribes to pass unsafe vehicles, and perform
blazing-fast inspections that overlook potential hazards.

The Cato institute was started by some wealthy gits who thought just that.
"The Cato Institute is libertarian in its political philosophy, and
advocates a limited role for government in domestic and foreign affairs
as well as a strong protection of civil liberties. This includes support
for lowering or abolishing most taxes, opposition to the Federal Reserve
system, the privatization of numerous government agencies and programs
including Social Security, the Affordable Care Act and the United States
Postal Service, demilitarization of the police, along with adhering to a
non-interventionist foreign policy."
 
They are an embarrassment to normal conservatives but not to knuckle
draggers like Greg.

I didn't relie on SS for retirement, it wouldn't be enough to live on
comfortably anyway. Instead I made other investments to collect
income for retirement and have now been collecting SS for more than
ten years. I retired at age 65, for me SS was a bonus. I can live a
fancier life style but I have no desire to. I already did more than
enough traveling, I can't think of anywhere I'd want to go. At this
point I'm very happy to stay home, do gardening, and watch my trees
grow. I began saving for retirement since before I was 8 years old. I
never relied on anyone giving me anything. I never inherited a cent. I
always had a job and earned my own way. Kootchie is the finast
example of a lazy dumb schmuck. He has already pissed away the
entirety of his inheritance... his father died the dumbest man on the
planet. It's fortunate he died, Kootchies father doesent need to
suffer the embarassment of spawning the most useless dumbest drug
infested POS.

You can fly. The question though, why? I've seen enough of it on TV to
know it is not for me.
 
Have you ever watched Ice Pilots? TV series about Buffalo Airways in
Alaska. They fly to places like that.

Thanks for that, you're giving me a big head. Let's face it, if your niece is able to get by without work she's doing alright.
 
And now, since this is a food group, a few on topic comments. I rarely eat sandwiches. I eat bread but prefer using it as a utensil for the food on the plate. Flat bread is good. But I am sick of making the same old stuff and want to keep it simple a while, so decided last week to make sandwiches this week. I had some chicken breasts I bought last week. I poached them. Really good for sandwiches.
 
Then yesterday I hit the markets on foot after 3 days in bed. I felt like crap. I bought some veggies and side stuff - broccoli for balancing, avocados, olives, and tomatoes to round out the plate. I got everything I needed. Then I hit the bread aisle. The shelves were bare. I mean totally. No bread. 3 different stores all in the same block and all sold out. Also wanted more chicken for later - the meat aisle was barren. COVID has something to do with it, of course, but more importantly - and I was not ready for it - there is a snow storm coming Sunday (or so they say), and the people down here go into panic mode every time, and I forgot about it. I was pissed at them for raiding the shelves, and at myself for letting it get past me. I finally managed to get a loaf at a nearby Panera bread shop. It's funny when you buy a whole bunch of ingredients to make something only to find the main ingredient is missing. But even though it was funny my blood pressure was soaring.
