@89th Sounds like you are slowly loosing control. Get back in the driver seat. It's dangerous.

I am a one drink and done type. Usually Scotch or Bourbon with a fine cigar.

I do this only on nice weather weekends starting Friday after work then again on Saturday night. On occasion, I will do Sunday evening as well.

In the winter months I do not imbibe. It is 100% a nice weather, weekend thing.

I never feel bad the next day. I do feel very tired after that one drink.

I got out of that mess a few years ago. Dissolved my S Corp and work mostly for W2 income now. I still do some side hustle work which is 1099 based.

Hmm. Seems fake. It certainly isn't conventional latte art using just steamed milk.

You have to consider how many years of good life would most of those 1.2m have had without COVID? For some, it was really tragic. But for many, COVID was just the last push for a body that was close to death anyway.

Yeah, you can apply a discount factor but it’s still a big number. 250k were under 65. More military-age men died of Covid than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. The latter gets mentioned. Not the former. He has a point.

True, but by this measure we have talked about 9/11 way too much.

Our attention differs by how a person dies. The death of a soldier or a fireman on duty, or a person dying from a terror attack, will always draw more attention than somebody silently dying in a hospital. Is that a good thing? I don't know. I think there is some reasonable logic behind it. What do you think?
