BREAKING: US oil prices drop below $87/barrel for the first time since April 21st as President Trump says he is making a "final determination" on the Iran deal.
The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history.
He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough.
RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.
Senior Field Service Engineer for one of worlds leading Medical Imaging manufacturers here…we need new technology that allows for rapid, frequent MRI imaging for everyone. The wealthy get MRI scans whenever they want them, but the time it takes to facilitate a full body scan is not practical currently. CT is faster, but even with the low doses of radiation, it is not safe enough to receive unwarranted scans (tell that to every ER Dr…) Not to mention what it would cost to install enough scanners, techs to run them, and radiologists to read the images. I believe in the next 10 years AI will significantly decrease my value as an engineer, the need for radiologists will be far lower, and the technological advancements will completely change the approach to preventative medicine.
@downi75 I can’t imagine where this disconnect comes from. The H1B people that I have worked with, in a highly technical field, have never been up to par with my true American co workers. Regardless of race. They just work for pennies on the dollar.
@MoistBluntz@WallStreetApes And the same ones bought new Jordan’s with their student debt payout every single semester but were begging for food the week before
It is impossible to have a prosperous society without “skin in the game”. We are where we are because too many people on both spectrums of society have never had to have skin in the game. Trust fund kids/lifelong politicians/lifelong elites have no clue what actual skin in the game means to lower middle class people that don’t want free shit. On the bottom end you have the career welfare crowd, I know plenty of them coming from a small rural town, and they know exactly what it means, but they would rather not work if they can get by on freebies.
It’s obvious to anyone with half a brain. Even myself, I have a pretty damn good job all things considered. I would be much better off at 40 had I not been a modern day glutton for the first half of my adult life. Not only food, but anything that makes you feel good buying. Toys, cars, food, electronics, the list goes on. Most people have lost their introspective capabilities.
I’m so tired of hearing “Our grandparents could buy a house on one salary, but now we can’t even afford rent on two!”
Yeah, because Grandma wasn’t blowin’ half her paycheck on $12 iced coffee and avocado toast, that’s why!
Back then, if they wanted coffee, they made it at home. With grounds so strong it could remove rust. You didn’t drink it… you survived it.
And Grandma wasn’t out there “brunchin’.” You think she had time for brunch? No! She was at home, cooking something called whatever’s left in the house.
And don’t even bring up Uber Eats.
These people today are crying about money while living in a 4-bedroom house with two SUVs, six streaming services, and matching sleeve tattoos. You think Grandpa had a tattoo? Yeah it said “Korea, 1951.” And it came with nightmares, not realitic shading.
Oh, don’t even get me started on the kids. “We can’t make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!” No, he doesn’t! You’re giving an $1100 phone to a kid who still eats glue and boogers.
When we were kids, the family phone hung on the wall. It had a cord long enough to jump rope with, and if you wanted privacy, you had to go stand in the pantry. And somehow, we survived.
And the TV? There was one. One.
It was in the living room, and Dad controlled it. If he wanted to watch bowling, guess what? You liked bowling.
Now every room’s got a 65-inch screen, the baby’s got an iPad, and you’re sitting there wondering why you can’t afford rent.
Because you’re living like rappers, that’s why!
Grandpa wasn’t out here leasing Teslas and buying $12 smoothies called “Detox Sunrise.” He was driving a truck that sounded like thunder and smelled like oil and cigarettes.
They lived within their means. Whatever Grandpa’s paycheck bought, that’s what they had. They didn’t try to keep up with the Joneses. They were just trying to keep the fed and a roof over their heads.
So yeah, Grandpa could buy a house on one salary. But he also didn’t have 47 subscriptions and emotional-support crystals. He had one support system, Grandma, who told him to suck it up and mow the yard.
Now folks are broke, tired, and stressed… and it’s not because of inflation… it’s because y’all keep ordering tacos from DoorDash like you’re royalty.
Wake up and smell the truth!!
