Do you have Google Earth? You could find your lake, if your directional skills are up to it, capture an image from the screen, and post that, or capture the latitude and longitude, and post that.

When you run out of important stuff to do, you can even tour the world, all with free software… Or you could stand in front of Lenin’s Tomb and stare across the square to “GUM”. 👋

Government don't need to pay off debt (or write it off), they just need to service it, and wait for inflation and economic growth to make it basically irrelevant.

US world war 2 debt for example was never repaid, but at 285 billion, today, with the US economy reaching 23 trillion, it would represent just 1.2% of the economy.

Government debt isn't like household debt.

Bro, I make a bolognese that takes 4 hours and a smoked brisket that takes 6 hours but sometimes I just want some junk food from my childhood. It's sad you're grasping at the pettiest of superiority on the internet; it's obviously not beyond this family's ability to cook so OP's choice is obviously purposeful.
