Most people spend a lifetime acquiring ‘stuff’!
New puters/phones/cars/big houses with yards, and then one day they have an epiphany and start to get rid of all of it because it has become an burden.
I wonder sometimes if we aren’t doing life in the wrong order…get just what you need and avoid things you want.
I’m guilty, but realized this before it was too late, and now live an simple life with all it’s simple pleasures.
Regarding the Y2K hysteria. I have been saying that for a couple of years now.
All that foo-foo and what!?!, Nada, bupkiss, I think that was a first dry run of “mass hysteria “.
And since this sunspot cycle seems to have not delivered us, maybe the next.
The odds of any of us making it that long, let alone surviving the clusterfuck if it goes ain’t good.
Ted Kaczynski was a couple generations too early. Today he would be viewed as a folk hero, not a terrorist.
Worked in manufacturing back then. Refinery and power generation components. Freakin bosses made me point man when the letters started coming in from every customer including the big genie ass refinery engineers from the likes of Exxon, mobile Texaco and the power generation utility companies all over America, engineers and CEO’s, mind you.
Typical stupidity. Only question, “are you Y2K compliant?.
I gave a simple answer in writing so they could check the box next to our name, “YES”.
Why, because NOBODY knew if they were compliant. It didn’t matter anyway. If nobody was, the system would have crashed.
