- Comment on Good ole reviews 1 week ago:
I recently took family to a beach vacation, and I looked up reviews for the beach and read the 1-stars. One of them was a 1- star review because, reason given, the beach was cold. That reason for a one-star is worth at least ten five-star reviews.

Ohio?
I visited a distant relative in Ohio once and his large backyard garden soil was the richest most luscious soil I have ever seen. Like something out of a movie or a fairy tale. He told me the soil there was like that going down 30 feet.

Social Securiry benefits are paid out based in how much you earned during your working years.
These benefits cap out at a certain limit. Accordingly, the social security taxes also cap out at a certain limit. Beyond that income you do ‘t get any higher Social Security benefits and you don’t pay any higher Social Security taxes.
This is because Social Security is not designed to be a progressive tax like the income tax is.
Our tax system overall should be more progressive. Maybe social security should be part of that. But it was never designed to do this.

- Comment on average physics student vs POTUS 47 2 months ago:
With a lot of things:
You start off with no knowledge, and it’s a big mystery.
You gain some knowledge and feel like you have understanding.
You gain a lot more knowledge and you learn how much more there is that isn’t known.
The President is either at stage 1 or stage 3, take your pick.
