Borrowing an idea from King Nuts, if OK ?

What stuff would you "not miss", if it were to disappear, off the face of the planet tomorrow ?

Mine: 1- TV adverts. 2- 20% VAT (it's a rip off). 3- Traffic speed bumps (knackers small cars suspension, mines a small one).

Mine: 1- TV adverts. 2- 20% VAT (it's a rip off). 3- Traffic speed bumps (knackers small cars suspension, mines a small one).

1 - I don't watch TV.
2 - Western countries have sales taxes - Even in the US!
3 - I broke the suspension on two large cars driving over speed bumps, on a private road very fast. Also broke the suspension on a small cheap car not driving over speed bumps just everyday awful bumpy roads at or below the speed limit; in the UK we have speed bumps everywhere (aka potholes and other distortions in the road surface).

What wouldn't I miss?

1. Highest tax burden since the war. (Apparently; I don't actually remember what it was like then as I wasn't born).
2. Highest inflation in the developed world.
3. Wokeness. Makes me think I'm getting old and out of step with the yoof of today.

That's because you are getting old and are out of step with the yoof of today. You need to act more like you're hanging in the Bronx and will cut people if they look at you funny.
