I’m old enough to remember when you bought something once and actually owned it forever.

Now apparently I need a subscription to watch TV, listen to music, store photos, use software and remind myself what subscriptions I already forgot I was paying for.

That’s right. We now have subscriptions to manage subscriptions.

Somewhere out there is a guy paying $12.99 a month to remind himself he’s paying $12.99 a month for something else.

The subscription economy is out of control and that really frosts my flakes.

I drive down one street and suddenly it looks like a cardboard forest sponsored by politicians and zip ties.

Apparently we’re supposed to choose leaders based on who can clutter the most intersections.

It's not just election signs that tick me off, nonsensical campaign slogans and political staffs who couldn't run a lemonade stand are why modern politics feels like a reality TV show, but with worse actors.#grandpagrumpy

Apparently companies and government agencies want to send me "important" messages all day long, but the second I have a question, suddenly nobody works there anymore.

Today, the post office tried to renew my PO Box 16 days early, then sent me on a scavenger hunt through robots, dead links and customer service pages designed by people who never use them.

I'm convinced the only thing arriving first class today is customer aggravation.
