For the number folks:

The most respondents cited high inflation (54%), Social Security not providing as much financial support as they need (43%), and high taxes (43%). Boomers (61%) were more likely than millennials (56%) or Gen Xers (55%) to say high inflation contributed to their fear of running out of money.

But this fear is more prominent among Gen Xers (70%) who are in their 40s and 50s and fast approaching retirement and millennials (66%) than boomers (61%) who are over 60 and many have already retired.

Asian/Asian American respondents (34%) were more likely to have discussed this fear than white (22%), Black/African American (28%), and Hispanic (25%) respondents.

Interestingly no mention of Gen Z, who I guess is just starting their careers so might be why?

Though I'd imagine the doom and gloom is just as high for Gen Z if not more.

There's a threshold to that, otherwise climate change would've been solved. But since it only affects a bit of agriculture and fishing, they just raise prices and continue with the same.

Insecurity exacerbated by the rise of social media. It's really easy for impressionable teens (not just them, but they are the most vulnerable group) to be affected directly by the consequences of social media. Toxic masculinity allows them to fall into the andrew tate trap because it tells them that this is the easy solution to the insecurities they face. I'd argue covid also made this problem worse as well

I really like Darrell's licorice

Kinda expensive though and really hard to not eat the whole bag

I carry cash in small amounts because some restaurants prefer cash to avoid the credit card fee

Ah but with the dollar tumbling, US companies will raise prices for the rest of us peasants to make sure profits are never harmed

Hahaha I'll never own a house lmao

If he is found guilty does not mean he is guilty. That's the problem with the death penalty. You can release someone if future evidence disproves the conviction. You can't bring someone back to life if you give them the death penalty.

I dunno about cheaper tbh...

Working there right now. I was originally going to work in cali but due to circumstances ended up here instead... Same company, different team, 30% pay cut pretax.

No state tax, but sales tax is 10+%, and groceries here are slightly higher than cali. Rent and utilities are the exact same as when I was in LA. A 1bd goes for 1300 for a shitty studio with only 200sqft, no stovetop + only a minifridge. The next jump is an actual 1bd but at 1.6k. I got lucky and found a 2bd for 2.5k which im splitting with a roommate, but that's not normally the case.

I looked at house prices and they're at 1.2m for most. Which is the same average prices I seen for both norcal and socal.

Is this microwave like the apartment standard or something cause everyone in this post including me has this exact same microwave somehow lmao

By the time trump hands over the US there might not be anything left, considering how much has exploded in 4 months

Depends on how they want to implement it. I'd be fine with just separating nsfl (content warning/gore) and nsfw (18+ topics) because those are inherently not comparable even though both are not appropriate for work

They can cater to better labelling, but clarifying the two would be a solid step

Imo nsfw is a bad tag and should be separated to at least viewer discretion (nsfl) and porn. I'd probably add a tag on offensive humor too, since I don't think my workplace would appreciate things like guillotines or 2meirl4meirl, but that is less useful than the other two
