Jesus this man is so stupid

The US economy hasn’t been particularly advantageous for the younger generations as a whole since the baby boom. I like that the article specifically mentioned housing prices increasing at twice the rate of inflation. I feel like this is in part due to housing being treated entirely as investments rather than necessities.

If we invested more in people just starting out on their own (mostly younger people) and provided increasing QoL care for the disadvantaged and elderly, we’d have a much more stable economy that’s easier for everyone to participate in.

I feel like Epstein was just the tip of the iceberg. I don’t believe he was the only one the elite utilized, I just think he was one that kept getting caught and used as a fall guy.

This was in Cleveland, in the Mississippi Delta. For those who don’t know, the Mississippi Delta had some of the largest plantations in Mississippi and the racial and economic divide still very much holds up today. Plus Mississippi authorities are some of the most racist in the country, so no foul play my ass

I’m from MS, and my anecdotal experience is not representative of everyone. That being said, the number of people I knew that who experienced sexual abuse in their marriages was shockingly high compared to other placed I have lived.

Here I am thinking, “Damn $7500/mo, I could gross that every month for the rest of my life for my partner and I, and we’d be more than comfortable.” Then I realized it’s still less than $100k/yr, and inflation is a bitch.

…I’m never going to be able to afford a house, will I?

To save a click, 52.5% of new apartments are being built in the Sun Belt, namely Texas and Florida. It’d be fucking fantastic if more populated states with more expensive housing were pushing this statistic than anything.

Lather and rinse? Buddy you can’t make me do nothing, you’re affecting my free speech

It’s easy to judge someone else’s situation when you have the context of only your own life to compare their decisions to.

Many people are so indoctrinated or poorly educated, or both, that they think you’re the one who’s ignorant or spreading misinformation. In my experience, at least.

I’m from there. Many people there genuinely believe Mississippi is a better, safer State than most others in the country. And they absolutely believe Trump is saving the US from the liberals.

I cannot stress that enough, they actually believe progressives have been ruining the country since the 90s and that conservatives have been trying to save it.

It’s obvious, not sure what the other person is talking about. Literally the same mentality that if someone is innocent, they should comply with everything and hide nothing, no matter how unreasonable. That’s not right, we should be holding those in positions of authority to a higher standard than those who are not.

Car-centric culture really is fascinating, isn’t it? In a sad, morbid kind of way

If you’re asked the identify the shooter, remember: You don’t have to.

Yeah they don’t understand more and more households are resorting to credit for so many purchases not because of frivolous spending, but because more people have to decide now between that or being homeless.

Anything to further class division.

We just had +100F temperatures where I am. We had wildfires in the hills south of the city a year ago. I live in fucking Boston. Everyone is going to be impacted over the next few decades, and no one will be as prepared as they think

Oh boy, I haven’t been anyone’s gf in a long time

You’re telling me
