The older I get, the more I watch situations I've come to the conclusion it's a very tough world for an honest person!

He had it all. What do you need a yacht for??? If you have a toilet, a toothbrush and running water you automatically are better off than 2 billion other people. This is ego and envy the cure for which is gratitude.

70k per month?? What a racket! Electronic monitoring is normal for some violent criminals. Someone's brother/sister in law got their hands into that deal!

I had a neighbor years ago whose husband was charged for a hysterectomy. When she complained to Medicare, they said it was too late, they paid the claim. (Hint: Men don’t get hysterectomies) My mother gets more Covid tests that she doesn’t want or need, that she never asked for.
