Problem isn’t just that. Lots of people have 3% mortgages or less and they can rent that out, buy another home and make a profit on first home. It’s crushing the starter home market

Car prices are out of control. I’m looking for a small SUV in the 20k range so I can pay cash. It’s sad to see what is available. I’m just going to keep my 05 Camry and 08 for edge until they don’t drive anymore

Another 25% are just above struggling, maybe only struggle with unexpected expenses and have a small saving. But one disaster such as a lost job or health issue will be the end of the semin comfortable life

I’m sorry, my wife and I decided not to have a family. The only way we could get by is if we both worked full time. Life has been generous to, very generous but if we had kids it would be very different. We still run paycheck to paycheck but that’s after health care and small retirement deduction. It’s tough out there.

In a better world, we’d be paid much more for less work. No loss of jobs to AI, company would just keep on employees to cover for others to take long vacations. CEO and executive team won’t make 300x more then their average employee

Dang didn’t realize Trump was a fan of the BBC

100%

Thanks for explaining haha

Hopefully he gets lazy these last 2 years and does nothing to make our lives worse then he already has

After 3 elections people were still dumb enough to believe his lies.

What do you mean there is no main stream handheld, didn’t the switch 2 just come out? I bought the original and I loved it.

Not sure I want to see “pass”

I’m over 40 and have never had an electric stove. Only gas, it’s safe as long as there is fire.

This has been a thing forever and it’s usually the people who didn’t go into the military that get a hard on for wanting to shoot someone

They’ll start suttle but get bigger and bigger every year

Landlords serve a purpose, I know lots of people that don’t want to own the home, they want others to do maintenance, pay property taxes and insurance. I’m a landlord, I put a 100k into the property before I rented it and it’s a beautiful home and have had multiple families enjoy it while living there. Current person couldn’t find a place that would allow dogs, I was happy to take her in considering last tenant allowed their kids to draw on the walls. I’ll take the dog.

Imo, the capitalist economy isn’t fair for the majority, communism doesn’t work as intended but if you do true socialism it works best. Still have to deal with have and have nots but it should be way less in theory then what we got now

I actually have money and a stable job and even I want a change, I’m tired

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Your first few sentences are correct. Mental health needs to be top priority. Bullying inschools needs to be handled differently. Your never going to stop gun violence 100% but if you can stop 95% of it, you take that as a win.

I enjoyed the Covid shut down, meant I got to stay home, no plans to make, just peace. Loved every minute of it.
