Pretty sure you wont get a vote here in this case, unless your lawyer is executing the will. I have seen really odd response to final requests, particularly in contentious families.
I'm a corporation, but we will see how that goes, or factually, I won't.

Le sigh. There's more than one mobile phone subscription per person (think business phones, disposable basic SIMs, etc). If you know you're going to be staying at home for the next month, you might as well cancel all your business mobile phones temporarily to save money. You can bet with near certainty that mobile subscriber count is going to increase by the millions at the next report. |

I was just thinking how many people would regret having or even cancel their mobile internet as they're homebound using WiFi all the time...
Maybe the Chinese are human as well?

I mean what are the odds, right?
Hubris (biting off more than you can chew) is a very human quality.
Hate the government, not the governed.

Me and my wife have those important jobs.
Bosses are begging people where we work to get as much over time as we want.

LMGFY? (I had to look it up) The better comparison would be Startpage since that's what they do.
Do you find quoting DDG more helpful?

I'm curious what JSH might think about this piece on the EU: BPS: END of the EU- The Biggest Casualty of 2020
TLDR: common currency without common debt or responsibility. N/S divide with the horde at the gates.

I find it most helpful for you to explicitly state your ideas rather than link search results. The 2nd half of your post is extremely helpful because it links to something specific and has a summary of ideas. |

As I stated earlier we have the same issue in the USA. 50 states with 50 economic policies all sharing a common currency. |

Well it's not quite the same, each state has its own budget but (for better or worse) the federal government is very powerful and collects and distributes the majority of taxes, so it smooths over some of the economic differences. |

Last year Federal spending was 20% of GDP while State and Local was 17%. As a whole government spending in the USA is a much smaller percentage of GDP than in the EU. (37% vs 46%)
The EU does a lot of smoothing as well:

(Notice the UK paid less because they had a special rebate.)
