Followed by "What's the quickest flight I can catch to a country with no extradition treaty with the USA?"

"You're thinking of this place all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in Joe's house... right next to yours. And in the Kennedy house, and Mrs. Macklin's house, and a hundred others. Why, you're lending them the money to build, and then, they're going to pay it back..."

The US government has recovery stolen bitcoin, which basically proves all their claims about it being untraceable were LIES! Like maybe the feds were playing the long game, i.e. convince all the criminals to switch to a new "untraceable" currency for money laundering, while secretly monitoring all their transactions. I'll bet ol' donny would show up in that log as much as he does in the Epstein Files!

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room.

"Are you a string?"

I remember distributing jokes/memes on Usenet, which was the internet in my day, and predates social media... the original internet was the ARPANET back in the '60's, running on IMPs provided by the company that gave me my first job, ACC. My lesbian friend had the Usenet node named "Amazon"...

We're just transitioning from "The Age of Data Aquisition" to "The Age of AI Slop". Yes, the backlash will be epic.

To be fair, much of the browser-based web suck pretty badly on smart phones.

"We lose money on every sale, but we make up for it in VOLUME!"
