Like many articles that complain, this one is not helpful as it offers no suggestions. Well, maybe the suggestion is that song writers should write protest songs.

I’m listening to Mother Mary Comes to Me and it’s too long! I’m struggling to get through it at this point. Some books I loved: Children of Radium; Strangers to Ourselves; & The Journalist and the Murderer, though it’s from 1990.

Probably depends on your health and life expectancy, whether you have kids or other heirs, and what your (newly hired) tax attorney or accountant advises. I wonder how much time the winner has to decide whether to take the winnings all at once or over 30 years.

OK, this article convinced me to be open-minded about roundabouts, though they're confusing to me and you still have to wait to enter. But no red light cameras that issue $100 tickets!
