My uncle owns a plumbing company that does big contract jobs. They did the fountain at Point State Park, parts of Heinz Field, the William Penn Hotel, Baldwin High School etc. All contract jobs, no service work. I worked for him for a summer. One of the jobs he got was for the Housing Authority working in the projects in the hill district, and I got sent to work on that job. Seriously, un-****ing-believable. Holes in walls, doors punched through, toilets with shattered ceramic, no furniture other than mattresses laying on the floor and an occasional TV tray, rotten food and dishes piled up, bottles of sh*t liquor all over, stains of unknown origin on the walls and carpets and ceilings, drug paraphernalia just scattered about. Quite a few of them had nice big-screen TVs though. No entertainment stands to put them on, so they were usually sitting in the floor with wires running all over.
I remember on occasion seeing the F14 airframes rolling on trucks down the expressway. I also remember seeing and hearing (and what it did to your hearing) completed F14's flying overhead really low while 4 wheeling out by Manorville, off Hot Water Street. I think you get locked up if they catch you off pavement there now.
They will lock you up for any little bit of BS.
But when it comes to the serious stuff they sit there and scratch their heads!!

The mind is like a parachute.....it only works when its open.
Many things we've been taught when we were young we accepted as gospel. But with age comes wisdom (usually lol) and when we circle back around and research these topics you'll often find the truth is slightly different if not completely 180 from things we thought we 100% true. I was 19 years old when I learned from an elderly mechanic friend that our paper money is not created or owned by the U. S. government. It's owned by the Federal Reserve which injected their fiat "notes" into our economy over 100 years ago as he stated. I thought he was crazy until I ran into other people along the way who were older and well educated in business that told me the same. Then I got serious about researching the topic further and came to the realization that they were correct. That was one of the topics over the years that led me down many rabbit holes that proved much of what we are taught is inaccurate if not completely false. So now I question everything. Is the earth flat??? Who knows for sure? Still researching this one. But if I secure a ride into space I'll be sure to bring my iphone and let you know one way or another.

Not heading down this rabbit hole. Politics and religion no.
We do. It's not. The math proves it. Observation proves it. Experimentation proves it. "Question everything" is great for philosophy, but the laws of physics don't give a sh*t what you believe.
Examples? Evidence?
Also, "I learned the truth about international banking and finance from an old timer mechanic" is exactly how we wind up believing nonsense like "the earth is flat." He might have been the best damn mechanic ever to walk the face of the earth, and a hell of a guy, but.... yeah.
