I have a mini-display in my hobby room. There’s a slide rule, an original LED calculator, and a small abacus. The Three Laws of Robotics are posted also. Just enough to keep me humble.
My high school Physics teacher insisted we learn to use a slide rule. This was back in the days when I would use the spiffy new handheld calculator to do some math, then do the math again myself to make sure the calculator got it right.
I just finished watching President Biden‘s press conference. He did well. Yes, he’s old, but only 3 years older than the dangerously unhinged narcissist he’s up against. Neither one of them should be running. If only we could have Barack Obama back again!

By “government”, you actually mean “the taxpayers”, and by “help out”, you actually mean “give them money”.Let ’em go extinct.

George, I agree. We should let the tax sucking billionaires go extinct.

Fun to see how many readers / commenters clearly demonstrate they have no clue what a slide rule is.
