They are dying and getting debilitating health issues from this shit, and honestly, I think that’s in the interest of the greater good.

it is not a help to anyone to have more disable maga. there are plenty already.

Yeah work study was scarce but honestly folks I know who got it got paid wereas in the new millenium feels like a lot of that became unpaid. Late nineties was the time I wish I took more advantage of. Fast food is a good example though. In high school it was the job no one wanted but everyone could get. minimum wage to start but if you showed up regularly, ontime and sober you generally got at least a quarter an hour more and then regular nickle raises. min wage was 4 bucks though so its not as slight as it sounds. You go to a place and ask for an application then fill it out and it was 100% getting a job in the 80’s with fast food. Its actually from millenial friends that I learned that was not a thing for them. I was working in the late nineties based on my skills of knowing how to navigate windows and search the internet and they hired folks who could not really do that.

Im suuuuppppeeerrr skeptical about fortune as a source but I can’t read that as I don’t have a subscription. I have seen the economy and I would not have wanted to start later. If anything my do over thing would have been to not to go to school so much and start earning sooner.

definately not better for millenials or gen Z. At least I would not trade forward but I would totally trade backward on my birthdate. Inheritance is great if your rich enough but for the average person it might be a slight help like downpayment on a house but is not going to help you get through day to day. If anything its a sucking away of any middle class generational wealth they managed to obtain. For many there is no inheritance option or what little there is cannot cover costs. Completely agree on co-ops and B corps.

I get the joke but the ole just in case because. internet. I meant I don’t vote of more moderate democrats in the primary to get a more acceptable person on the ballot for november. I mean unless I like the more moderate one better, but not just so they can win come the general election.

im definately more hippie than punk but I did like casual and courteous slam dancing.

not to me. Sure there are some great folks but the population is large and there are equally great folks out there. We need being a politician for a bit to be an accessible thing. We definitely need guardrails for quid pro quo but if guaranteed lifetime political is the solution its not a solution. Our system should work if everyone is one termer. Heck I would like every election to have a recall ballot were the electorate can vote to recall any position they vote for. If it cresta 50% of the electorate then the position goes up for election at the next election.

economies were more cyclical then though and there we were at the height of social safety nets. In addition there was progress in societal things (civil liberties) and efficiency gains were reflected in pay. I mean what we have today is just nuts. The 2008 drop pretty much went down to the 2000 one as far as low point and outside of the market it has not been good at all except ironically for a blip around covid. 25 years is justs a nuts timespan. The great depression and ww2 were just a few years. During that time even just after the housing crash the prices were not as affordable as they were back then and honestly housing is such a major part of everyones life that it just dwarfs any other economic thing in a persons life with maybe health insurance being a competitor. I mean times were tough and yeah in some cases the mom had to pick up a job but it is nothing like the everyday reality of the last quarter decade.

Its something they should have put into the original consitution. They were never supposed to be careers. Given the terms of the various branches they should have maxed 12 years in any federal role besides judicial and that should have had a retirement cut off of 60.

I mean thats great but it should not be allowed any more than any presidential law break is allowed. The solution is not to go with it and also do it.

Eyup. I don’t vote for democrats that can win either. That to me is what really sends the overton window right. Its unacceptable to me to allow a republican to win an election at this point so the primaries to me are the time to get progressive.

I don’t see that as a fix. A third term for either would be a higher level constitutional crisis than all the many ones trump has already initiated. Many failed like with his first impeachment for misappropriating federal funds to bribe a foreign official.

I always associate hippies with environmentalism and sexual freedom. You don’t want that???

We are going to be as wealthy as two centuries ago. In the sense that daily life will be closer to that.

oh yeah. older you are the better prospects you have and the younger the worse. we can all see that. Heck even late boomers are down vs early ones. Silent generation you have things sucking when you were a kid but from there everything pretty much got better. Boomers never saw it bad till the very end of life. So they traded bad times between young kid and old age. Xers got to see and experience good times when young and experience the slow decline in early adulthood. millenials got a glimpse of the good times but never really got much of a taste and grew up when the decline was slow but the fast decline was their adulthood. Im concerned Z and beyond don’t even have a perspective of better times and fall for it can only be so good for the average person.

Its not just healthcare too, but healthcare is up at number 1 with a bullet.

he payed for that election fair and square!!!

They should be more worried about trump making being a congressman or judge a powerless position. There are so many executive actions going against law and it keeps increasing.

well yeah. the fake news is from them. trump implying to try to have cake and eat it to again.
