    I once met a guy who made at least 20 times what I make and didn’t know how to spell dolphin. He was a bit better than me at trading commodities though.

        I don’t know which God you’re referencing but your genetics is programmed with planned obsolescence. You will die one day. There are only so many monthly tributes to your landed lord before you are free for the first time.

        You’re welcome
