    What if you don't have an employer?

    LOL. Wait for it...

    Then you still don't pay anything. DUH!

    The internet says:

    The internet is a network, just like Fidonet. It doesn't say shit. Maybe you are thinking of the WWW?

    Anyway, the sources you are using are wrong on so many points, I'll not even try to correct all of them. I suggest that you ask Grok for a more accurate answer to any question you may have.

    I'm 76 years old now, so the window is closing. I want to be alive to see the first woman President of the United States of America.

    Language.

    I am guessing that Grok is some sort of AI?

    The places (plural) I found my info included plenty of links to reputable sources... no FOX News, no OAN, no right wing/conservative think tanks...
    and I trust those sources over a Bjorn or any source that Bjorn might
    suggest, unless I have heard of it and believe it to be reputable.

    Nothing is free... well unless you are a Swede who does not work and has no income. Then it sounds like it is "free."

    You haven't even heard about her? Figurs.

    The places (plural) I found my info included plenty of links to reputable sources... no FOX News, no OAN, no right wing/conservative think tanks...

    But as usual, without any links. Yeah, figurs, that too.

    and I trust those sources over a Bjorn or any source that Bjorn might suggest, unless I have heard of it and believe it to be reputable.

    So you don't think that this imaginary Bjorn person of yours knows what he is paying for? But you know, after a couple of minutes with Google? Don't you know how much you pay? Dunning-Kruger, for sure.

    It's funny you should mention that. I'm not working. I retired more than ten years ago and am now living on my very generous pension, which I know very well (DUH!) and haven't paid a single cent for. So yeah, it's free. Thanks for finally admitting to it.
