  • Suicide seems pretty extreme. Also, I don’t like suicide being suggested, even in jest, because you never know if someone on the other end just needed a tiny nudge to go through with it.

    Alternatives off the top of my head:

    • Move to a country without taxes. On the other hand, other than tax loopholes for the super rich, many of us living with US-level or above standard of living are unlikely to be happy in a country that does not collect taxes.

    • Alternatively, you could set up a Star Trek-style system without the use of money in daily living, but that’s going to be a tall order.





  • I’m not defending Disney and I cannot speak to this situation. My experience at the restaurants in Disney Springs was very good with respect to allergens. When we inquired if a meal could be made without certain ingredients for allergy reasons, the wait staff left and found experienced staff to assist us. At one of the restaurants, the chef came out clarified the ingredients in the meal we inquired about, clarified which ingredients were a problem, and they verified (without prompting) the ingredients we asked be omitted had been omitted when the meals came out. We were quite satisfied with our experience. We had been avoiding nearly all restaurants up until that point and felt some relief with how it turned out.
