Well, keep on reading. There are so many literals in these posts that you will be entertained forever. As an old saw from my early years in the workplace used to state: "It doesn't matter if little Johnny makes mistakes in his writing ... the important thing is that he can write at all."

Ain't no epidermis off my proboscis if people wish to display their marvellous education skills ...

Do you mean to sit there, with your mouth hanging open, and tell me that these high-priced engineers, with their multiple degrees, never foresaw the possibility of a dam overflowing and they went ahead and built it with no idea that a spillway is designed to ensure that such an event would be...

Why don't people re-read what they type in the SDC posts? Or are they so illiterate they simply can't? Maybe they're happy to just bash away at the keyboard, suppose the computer will automatically correct their spelling mistakes and let it go at that? As the words of the old song go: "We don't...

If you don't smoke or drink, then they don't really affect you, do they? The point is that these taxes are automatically applied.

I thought I was right once, but I could be wrong ...

I suppose you've never noticed how booze goes up twice a year? If you don't drink, you never would. Have a look around, or ask people who do indulge in the demon drink how they feel about it. It's built in to the system, it's automatic and there's not a bloody thing you can do about it.

Add that "hidden" cost (if you run an EV) to the biggest rort of all time -- the twice-a-year alcohol tax -- and you're REALLY helping the government along.
