Johnny's Slowly Making His Way Back To Ukraine

Johnny is slowly making his way back to his apartment in Kyiv over the next few weeks. He spent the past month with his relatives in Taiwan the birth place of his parents. Currently they live in LA but it was cheaper to bring them over then what it would cost to visit them in the USA. This video describes his 22 hour layover in Singapore's Changi Airport before his next stop in Athens.

I've been following Johnny for some time and have been surprised over his many travels in other countries where you wouldn't think English was spoken. Sometimes prices are a fraction of what things cost here if you know where to look. Here in the United States we like to think we're the cat's meow. Tell me we have any airport in the United States anything like this one in Malaysia.

Not only Johnny but three other world travelers who make me realize Americans are not the only pebble on the beach. Some country's governments are unfriendly but the people themselves are surprising welcoming. Sometimes more so then we are here in the USA. While this airport wasn't particularity inexpensive there are some countries where he stayed cost less then $1,000 a month for all expenses in some really beautiful accommodations. You just need to know where to go, away from the touristy areas.

Oh No, Say It Isn't So !

This is an example of the calls going around from these scumbags. There's a few things that should be a tip off. They gave no specific information knowing who I am. It was a Robo call. This IRS only does business in this way by certified, registered mail or by a process server coming to your home. Even if some scumbag should come to your door the documents themselves will list all your personal details that crooks have no way of knowing. Take it and don't leave them in under any circumstance.

The IRS itself warned on August 2nd, 2016 there's been a surge in automated phone scam calls.-- "The IRS has seen an increase in “robo-calls” where scammers leave urgent callback requests through the phone telling taxpayers to call back to settle their “tax bill.” These fake calls generally claim to be the last warning before legal action is taken.... Scammers are evolving and using more and more automated calls in an effort to reach the largest number of victims... If you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS directly at 800-829-1040."

Don't be stupid. Before responding in anyway what-so-ever call the IRS number mentioned above to make an inquiry no matter the circumstance which you've been approached.

Hey I may look stupid.

May even be possibly dumb...

BUT I didn't just crawl out from under the cabbage patch yesterday either !




BTW:
It use to be a cell phone number out of Los Angeles, California.
Not exactly what the IRS would be using, is it?

Another series we used to enjoy.

Why The Show Was Cancelled "Here's why Person of Interest was cancelled after season 5 and what season 6's story could've been about. The action-thriller series was based on the concept of an artificial intelligence called The Machine that could predict murders before they happen."



Show Opening Season 1 (2011)

Knowing today there's facial recognition software, cellphone tracking, trojan virus malware, etc. this program was not as far fetched as some may believe it once was. Who knows what the government (and others) may have at their disposal.

It's A Rich Man's World

It's getting harder and harder to earn a decent buck when so few control so much. It's been said, too many people are spending their time and effort doing work instead of making actual money. At this point in time we probably have more investors living off the backs of laborers then any time in history.

We know the turnover in these kinds of businesses are huge. How do you keep a manager? Convince him to buy a franchise. Then they ain't going nowhere. Can't be fun being sandwiched between employee cost and those they must pay for equipment, supplies and dictated to what their prices they're allowed to charge by their corporate overlords.

In short, the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. This ever widening gap is becoming unsustainable. Seems there's little we can do about it. Doesn't look like we can depend on government on either side of the aisle to do anything about it. In fact it may played a part in creating this situation we finnd ourselves in.

When..

* Telephones didn't need to be updated every month.
* A toll booth collector would make change & provide direction information
* We had the same postal delivery carrier everyday
* The same grocery & bank cashier was there next week
* Cars weren't entertainment and communication centers
* Cops & people weren't considered adversaries
* Saturday mornings TV was for kids
* Door to door callers weren't scam artists
* Teachers were respected
* Attendants pumped gas, checked the oil, tire pressure, washed the windshield and gave green stamps to boot!
