My dad retired at 59

I will not

He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.

He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.

At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.

Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.

Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.

Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.

Just passed the potatoes.

Make it make sense

"Nobody wants to work anymore."

Walmart made $15.5 billion in profit last year.

Their median employee salary: $27,000.

People want to work.

People don't want to work full time and still qualify for food stamps.

Those are different sentences.

The life of a millennial:

- Graduated straight into a recession

- “Entry level” jobs required years of experience

- Pensions replaced by the 401k

- Promoted at work meant a 2% raise & 200% more responsibility

- finally felt stable… then a pandemic hit

- Highest inflation in 50 years deleted pay raises

- home prices doubled, renting became permanent

- Childcare costs feels like another rent

- Juggling aging parents, young kids, burnout from work & the cost to live

- AI causing mass layoffs during peak earning years

They were the only ones who congratulated us on our 2nd World Series title in 2022.

Not making the playoffs will never hurt me because I lived through losing with this team.

Holy God, that’s genuinely some of the best news I’ve heard this entire decade

Baseball is not selling you a sport it is selling you a warm summer night outside. A ballpark is supposed to be a setting for summer

You don't even have to pay attention. You can just take in the atmosphere or walk around. eat. whatever.

if a team has low attendance, it means the stadium is wrong, the neighborhood it sits in is wrong

It's a referendum on placemaking

anybody new to battlefield should know that
1) vehicles
2) a squad working together
3) shotguns if the map is small

are the three most powerful forces in the franchise and movement tech only works until the mf in the t-90 racks another shell and blows your shit smoove off

Between 1920 and 2010, the Yankees won the World Series at least every decade with the exception of the 1980s.

Jose Altuve graced MLB with his debut in 2011. They Yankees haven’t won a World Series since 🤯

Yankee Stadium booed Jose Altuve as he stepped up to the plate. Altuve homered on the first pitch to give the Astros a quick 2-0 lead!
