Sure, but like I mentioned earlier, I highly doubt I have the skills to be financially independent early enough to go for an early retirement

Hey, if a lazy incompetent like me can do it….

Is there a phrase in French that means “sang froid”/

 

 

Diners shared a romantic glass of wine by the fire as demonstrators rallied across France in protest over President Emmanuel Macron's pension reform.

 

A video posted on TikTok shows couples dining at Place de la Victoire, in the southern wine-growing region of Bordeaux on Thursday, as rioters set fires in the streets.

 

The diners, chatting away and scrolling on their mobile phones, seem unfazed by the violence erupting near the restaurant.

The combined number of years Netanyahu has served as PM is probably the reason. He's been in power longer than some authoritarian regimes, no wonder people are tired of this guy among other things

Meanwhile SNP has a new leader - 37-year old Humza Yousaf. Guess the Scottish nationalism will go into hibernation now unless Muslims are suddenly a majority up there?

“We’re not going to fix it.” What a beautiful attitude from an elected official (sarcasm). He should make that his campaign slogan in 2024. 
 

I guess you have to appreciate the honestly of his political agenda

Yeah, that's an honest politician for a change. NRA are the Republicans voters so obviously that party won't do anything but I wonder what is the Democrats excuse? They are also afraid to upset the NRA?
