A minor complaint here. I retired on the last day of 2020, therefor, I began the Josef Stolen misadministration on a fixed income.
A bit of backstory on myself, I'm a military brat, the son of a career enlisted avionics technician, consequently I grew up around fast jet airplanes. The military air bases were my hometown, and the jet fighters that flew from them caught my imagination.
As a young'n, I bought American manufactured model kits, slapping them together as kids do. As a teen, I discovered model clubs and adults who did a much more convincing job. Times changed and US kit makers gave way to Japanese kits. In the 80s, Korean kits became a thing. In the late 90s and early 2000s, Chinese kit were all the rage, although purists complained about accuracy issues.
Most recently, it's been former eastern bloc Warsaw Pact countries like Czechoslovakia, Poland, Russia and Ukraine.
It's not earth-shattering to most, but it's something I enjoy, just like some guys make intricate fly fishing lures, or tinker in a wood shop, I build plastic models.
But here's the rub, the plastic is an oil product, there's one strike against it. Throw in the uniparty funded idiotic war and Josef Stolen's supply chain disasters, taxation, the spiraling price of everything and kits of subjects I've dreamed of for decades are nearly unattainable on a retirees budget, and take forever and a day to arrive from across the pond, if I can scrape together dough to buy one.
I finally have irrefutable proof that democrats are the worlds all-time champion fun suckers...
