Wednesday 19th 56-75F, bright and misty but with some cloud. Well that was odd! My camera viewfinder was completely out of focus. So I returned home and swapped to the TZ7 and binoculars.The light jacket came off too. As it is horribly humid, despite the very modest temperatures. I headed in the opposite direction at the second attempt at a walk. Taking advantage of the harvested fields to wander freely across the stubble in my new-ish boots.
On my return I discovered my "deliberate mistake." While exploring all the camera settings I had adjusted the tiny diopter setting wheel without noticing any changes at the time. Focusing is now safely back to normal, thank goodness!
There is some consternation in Denmark over an election promised, early pension plan for worn-out, manual workers. That would be the same election where fighting climate change was "prioritised" but absolutely nothing has happened. The new new pension rules are excluding people on the grounds of not having worked every minute since they were five year-olds now they are in their 80s.
If older workers are sacked because they can no longer do the same workload at an advanced age they are sent to the Job Centres. Where they are bullied by professional sociopaths into seeking non-existent work. For which they are poorly qualified anyway. Ask me how I know.

Or if they are allowed to retire early their pension payments are massively reduced by deductions depending on their savings above a certain threshold.
Meaning, in reality, that those drunkards, who pissed, or gambled away every penny they earned, will get the maximum pension. While those who were careful with money, all of their working lives, are heavily penalised.
I wonder whether the same rules apply to civil servants, local government staff and other office workers? All badly worn down by sitting on Danish "designer" furniture all of their working lives? Oh, the poor dears!
The real government message here is that you should be a piss artist and slack off at manual work to save yourself from long term injury and heavy personal loss. Or just work in an office. Even if houses, offices and hospitals never get built.
These days the builders are usually slave wage Eastern Europeans made to sleep on the floor of the building site. With their <cough> wages deducted for transport and living costs. With their passports stolen by the slave contractor to ensure obedience. This is the norm even on 'flash' government projects too. Why change history? Slavery has always paid well. Black, Irish, Chinese, Eastern Europeans. What's the difference? Most of the stately homes in Europe were probably built by slavery. How else would they get their bronze and marble statues built in the cities?
Imagine the profits when workers can be bullied into lifting and carrying impossibly heavy weights for a mere pittance? Safety becomes a non-event provided nobody dies on the job and makes the papers. These workers will never be able to save anything because they are never paid. While any request for a rest after 45 years of exhausting work will fall on deaf ears before they are swiftly deported. At least the hospital treatment for industrial injuries is free on demand. Assuming a mutual agreement across the EU.

The economic damage done by the Jinping Pandemic has not affected the offshore 1%. The markets are hitting new record highs already after regaining all of their, short term losses. The billionaires went cap in hand to their government subsidies for lost income. While they laid off the workers in droves. There is no economic loss which can't be turned to the billionaire's advantage with a nice big dollop of of sociopathic [always tax free] behaviour.
Property prices continues to climb in every city worthy of the name. Few can still afford to live there. While the dirty money sloshes in and out on every offshore tide. Which means that the country has to build modern slums on flood plains and abandoned, toxic dumping grounds. Just to house all those who cannot afford a modest home in the city. Which means literally billions having long commutes completely unnecessarily. Sound familiar?

Individuals, with decades long accounts, always with positive balances, are being harassed by their banks and mortgage lenders. Demanding pictures of their inside leg measurements for "security purposes."
Even having their half century long bank accounts closed! Simply because they don't have a current passport or driving license. Something official with a picture which they can share with the sociopaths at the banks and mortgage lenders! Ask me how I know this? How did the borrower or account holder get one without this photographic evidence of identity? Good question.

Meanwhile the offshore, money launderers are literally handed vast fortunes of taxpayer's money. So they can loll on their super yachts, off their private beaches, off their private, offshore islands.
The bank managers can always find time to attend to their filthy rich, customer's, money laundering needs. With their special schemes and "highly professional advice" for the offshore, super rich. It says so in their smart, website advertising when you are endlessly trying to log into the account you have held all of your working life.
It seems that only the poor and "idiots" pay taxes or "save for a rainy day." Or work long and hard and conscientiously for a living. Is that the real message here? Are they softening us up for the coming AI-Robotics, unemployment holocaust?
Apple are the first, modern, massed slave drivers to be valued at 2 trillion dollars. Makes you want to puke, doesn't it? Keep taking the money! I wonder how much they pay in taxation? Are they another US owned, global monopoly, excused taxes?
I just checked online. Apple is another tax avoidance racket undermining global commerce by being subsidized by real tax payers. Competition? Seriously? Slave wages and obscenely long working hours at their Asian "subcontractors." Huge factories which do nothing else but build tech for the monopoly. Pay no local taxes on trillions in global profits? How can anyone possibly compete with that? Who except a callous sociopath would invest in these obscenely immoral crooks? Yeah, right. All of them. Blind but always innocent supporters of modern slavery.
The first cases of attempted fraud against the Jinping Pandemic fund for struggling businesses are being heard. Nearly one hundred cases are awaiting trial or being investigated. The government set a highly publicized 4x normal punishment for any crimes against the Danish people's generosity. Yeah, right! Read about the real punishments in the papers! Yawn.
