Interesting on the vote/sales tax thing.. it's become a full time job checking the government.. I think the idea of UBI (Universal Basic Income) watch your BP :) might be worth a shot up here BUT I would ELIMINATE pretty well every other social program. Keep health care of course.. I'm looking at still having a safety net but killing the giant bureaucracies we have here for thisfare thatfare.. what the hell is that fare ? Even pensions .. maybe toss in a workfare (a job lol) if you cannot manage on UBI.. Right now we pay far too much for too many folks making bad choices.. it has gone nuts up here.. On the topic of BP.. Exercise and retirement transition to more physical work that stays at work (I rode a desk in a high stress consulting/programming environment for most of my adult working life) has reduced both cholesterol and BP.. I take BP meds still but half what I used to.. I purchased a Samsung smart watch to go with my S3 ultra phone. Monitoring BP etc was the goal.. all good for say 4 months.. 3 weeks ago my resting heart rate jumped from low 50s to high 70s.. no big life or diet changes.. I started getting daily 'possible atrial fibrilation messages' I confirmed on a different device.. I monitored for two weeks and since it persisted.. I booked a doc appointment.. (I pay private so I get next day appointments.. or sameday if I do not want to wait for my regular doc..) anyway she booked me for cardiologist this week.. This came out of the blue.. my greatest health fear is stroke. Without the watch I would have noticed the issues much later.. Just sayin'.. I am 68 and very active.. Happy I purchased the watch..
