• Sounds like it works great for you. You’ll be spending down half of your assets and hopefully the other half will have good gains. I’m assuming leaving assets to kids or heirs isn’t a goal. If it was, there may be better options out there.

• The gubment and big spending pols have always been here, and we’ve survived. You should take that out of your evaluation method.

• Unfortunately many companies still will not even interview a prospective employees who doesn't have a college education. They may look at that as a maturing process as well as an educational one.

• My point about doing nothing simply means if you want to relax, then just do it. Do not feel compelled to always be active. It also means to do what you enjoy at home or in the community, even if you sit in your backyard and enjoy nature. You misinterpreted my meaning. Maybe I should have worded it differently.

• Many were inconvenienced by the shutdowns. But at least they lived. I think the alternative to being inconvenienced, dying, was the devastation. Check the facts please. The millions you say were devastated were all those that died. Shouldn’t you be posting on Newsmax or Truth Social (while it still exists)?

• The burden is on you. How did the shutdown kill thousands of people? Before the shutdown millions died. I suspect you have an ulterior motive and are simply in denial. Maybe do some research, and change the channels you watch. Also, tell us how we benefitted, other than the fact that we survived and did not die.

• You cannot be serious as to questioning why you got down votes. Millions of people died in the US and worldwide. Shutdowns prevented it from being worse. They DID save many lives. You clearly are looking at this from a strictly political viewpoint. An incorrect one at that.

• It happens in every big city, to accommodate the popularity of the automobile. Boston is trying to reverse the negative effects it imposed by dividing sections of the city. But I am not sure what your point is about each of us taking responsibility for our own well being. What can those whose neighborhoods were cut in half do for the greater good, other than just accept it?

• Agree. Freedom to what you want is the best thing for me. No need to feel compelled to be travel, etc. Do nothing if you want, after a working life of schedules and having things that needed to be done

• I lived in Florida for 20 years and recently moved out after retirement. Florida has areas that are just as dumpy as NJ. Every state does. Florida has sooo many problems. Many residents are trying to move out but they cannot sell their condos. Condo prices have plummeted because of the new expenses required to bring them up to code after that huge condo collapsed. Insurance companies are fleeing the state. Homeowners and auto insurance are higher there than in my home state, Massachusetts. Even if you live inland, you share the insurance expense for coast dwellers because of hurricanes. The heat and humidity for 6 months is as bad as winter months are up north. Not to mention the fire ants and cockroaches as big as sparrows. Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
