not the episode with the old peddler, there was another where a man put on a pair he found and took the personality/identity of that man (gangster). It didn't end well for him either.

things have been tough on tabs since the fez and monogrammed slipper market dried up.

Well, I listened. I heeded TABS's warnings. Earlier in the year, before covid, I sold it all and bought a sailboat to see the world. You may have seen my story in USA today:

You are screwed.

When your global meltdown comes to pass that pension will be history since they are invested in bonds and stocks. With all your "wisdom" you will be just as broke as the rest of us...

I have 37. Currently working on #38. I have read that you are doing good when you max out the same number as your age...

Most economists believe the United States will tip into recession by 2021, a new survey shows, despite White House insistence the economy is sound.

Nearly 3 out of 4 economists surveyed by the National Association for Business Economics expect a recession by 2021, according to poll results released Monday. The outlook reflects growing skepticism among economists and investors that the U.S. economy will be able to withstand a protracted trade war with China without serious harm amid a weakening global outlook.
