Floridian here. My mom currently has Citizenship Insurance. Her rates will increase by about 11.5% by the end of the year.

Preach. I work for a small manufacturing and production company. The pay rate is $16/hr, they don't offer health insurance, they have paid holidays, they offer 1 week paid vacation after 1 year and 2 weeks after 3 years. They're having trouble hiring people. They've resorted to reaching out to former employees and asking current workers if they could reach out to friends or family.

Edit: The location is South Florida, so $16/hr isn't much here. I live with my parents so it's good enough for me.

Same. I've been struggling with math ever since elementary school. I've flunked algebra in middle school and high school. Geometry was even worse for me.

Yeah, he's pretty toxic, that's not even one of worst things he's done, but my family is toxic in general.

Honestly good. There are plenty of used and pre-owned vehicles that just need minor repairs or tune-ups. I drive a used 2015 Chevy Spark, financed it back in 2022 and it's nearly paid off. My car only needed a new battery, new tires, and an oil change. My mom on the other hand financed a new luxury Acura RDX back in 2018 as an upgrade from her 2006 Honda CRV, she's still making payments to this day. I asked why she didn't get a newer Honda CRV and she said that she didn't want the same vehicle as a McDonald's worker.

I'm happy to be a part of that demographic. My upbringing only contributed to my irreligiosity.

For me it's mostly related to my autism among other factors.

Older gen z here, I definitely fall into that category. Many factors have contributed to it.

Hello. I'm in my mid 20s. I was mute in my early youth and had to attend speech therapy classes in preschool and early in elementary school, and I rode the short bus. I played with and spoke to my stuffed toys until I was in middle school and that was when my parents took them away. My family always said that I was an odd child, but only in recent years did they suspect that I was on the spectrum. To this day, I've never been officially diagnosed.
