Moreover, the oak symbolizes the weathering of my soul. It offers shade and solitude, providing a sanctuary of contemplation amidst the busyness of life.

Its branches might age and its leaves may fall, yet it remains a beacon of life and continuity.

For a decade, I’ve poured my blood, sweat, and tears into running a legal taxi business in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, covering areas like Houghton, Calumet, Hancock, and Lake Linden. But what do I get in return? A slap in the face from the very system that’s supposed to protect honest businesses like mine!

I’m beyond frustrated with LARA’s refusal to crack down on illegal taxi operations that are shamelessly thriving, while my business is punished over minor clerical errors! It’s outrageous! These rogue companies operate with impunity, driving legitimate operators like me into the ground.

The blatant corruption and political games are nothing short of a nightmare! How can authorities sit back and allow these illegal businesses to flourish, knowingly and willingly? It’s a rigged game, and I’m done fighting a battle that seems impossible to win.

To all those who continue to exploit this corrupt system, know that your greed and dishonesty are not going unnoticed. To my fellow law-abiding operators, we deserve better, and it’s high time we demand change. I’m tired, I’m angry, and I refuse to be silent any longer. Enough is enough!

For a decade, I’ve run a legal taxi biz in MI’s Upper Peninsula, only to face LARA’s inaction on illegal ops while punishing me for clerical errors. Corruption & politics let illegal companies thrive in Houghton, Calumet & beyond. I’m tired & angry! #FairPlay #EndCorruption

I’m fed up with Michigan’s broken laws and the corrupt government driving this great state into a pit of depravity and destitution! How long are we supposed to sit around and watch misguided leadership destroy what so many generations built before us? The laws here are outdated and completely out of touch with the reality of those who live and work in Michigan. They aren’t serving the people — they’re shackling them!

It’s infuriating to see the rampant corruption that continues unchecked in our state government. Those in power seem to place personal gain over the public good, constantly making shady deals while we, the people, struggle to make ends meet. How much more evidence do we need before we start holding these people accountable for their actions?

Leadership in Michigan has failed us at every turn, and it’s a travesty to watch. Our leaders are supposed to guide us toward prosperity and improvement, not drive us deeper into hardship and uncertainty. When will they actually step up and do something beneficial for all Michiganders? Enough excuses, enough finger-pointing — we need real action and we need it now!

It’s past time for the residents of Michigan to rise up and demand genuine change. We’ve let this state be run by self-serving interests for too long. It’s time to hold those responsible accountable, clean up the mess they’ve created, and steer Michigan towards a brighter, more equitable future. Are you with me? Let’s make our voices heard! #MichiganDeservesBetter #AccountabilityNow

I do not look for pity, I refuse pity. But I want people to understand, my body is failing, not to expect much out of me. I will do what I can. I will do as much as I can.

I’m a human being in a failing body.

And such is life, everything does come to an end. Sometimes chaotic other times peacefully.

Will add at a later date.
