Provide winning tickets instead
Erase the trace, one step at a time. My principal email address has to change, and there are a lot of contacts that are soon going to be irrelevant. For those list servers that provide a clean “unsubscribe” process – thank you! And may the others learn the heartbreak of rejection, as my (current) SMTP process ceases to acknowledge my “existence”. Finally, virtual life will model reality.
Guess what? Online submission of receipts to my health insurance works. In two weeks, when I modify coverage (yet again) may the process remain as transparent. Put another way; why doesn’t the government implant a system that works (cradle to grave)? Wow! My socialist leanings couldn’t be any clearer than that.
With the monies that different levels of government extract from society, they could. Stop handing out “tax credits” to anyone with a business card, and focus on real people. For example, the scofflaw shipyard across the way receives close to “fifty cents on the dollar” in a swamp of subsidies; the taxpayers owns a fleet, even if they never get to go sailing on Sunday. We could, as easily, give every employee his own winning lottery ticket, and save money! There are a “boatload” of other industries with a similar business plan. Give them winning tickets, too. Then tax us with care and attention.
We missed out on the snow storm that shut down much of NB this morning. Winter seems really close. The tires didn’t change, yet, but they will. Else wise, an impromptu visit to the Field of Dreams will be tricky.
