@IanRunkle How many of your clients kept their mouth shut until you were able to counsel them? My guess is near 0%

@lnqdty If an American eats a bunch of processed food, potato chips, canned soup, etc they're getting mega doses of salt. A person eating an entire gram of salt with most meals probably needs stupid amounts of water

@YungVater911 I'm not that guy, but American big cities are getting worse. The amount of homeless people is exploding and there's more litter, public disorder, public drug use, and crime. Things weren't this bad in the 90s / 00s.

@WxPolitics15 It's not unusual for my region to hit 90 or more degrees with a dew point at or above 75. Relative humidity is deceptive. Dew points >70 feel bad and >75 are miserable.

@huntellis1 I don't like trees that are tall and close enough to land on a home in severe weather. Also hiring a legit tree service can be very expensive if you need some trees removed. Several grand easy

@catpurrsarenice A tree fell during a severe storm and hit my grandparents house. Thousands in damage. And if the tree hadn't wedged on a fence line and deflected, it could've brought the house down. I don't understand the appeal of trees near homes.

@chadfelixg 3% is a huge number though. Way larger than it sounds. Proportionally it would be comparable to nearly 10 million Americans being killed,

or enough to fill every nfl stadium 4 times over with room to spare.

@RichMoneyBling Americans are poorer today on average than they were in the past. Young people are hitting that reality faster. Blaming it on their expectations is beyond silly. As an older millennial I found a nice apartment for 725 a month in 2012. Same place is now 1550.

[Sean @burly_earl]

@RichMoneyBling It's easier to identify a problem than a solution. I don't believe that desiring the quality of life your parents had is whiny or entitled.

[Sean @burly_earl]

@RichMoneyBling I'm a bit surprised the older generations in America don't hang their head in shame for failing our youth and instead flip it around to a "don't whine" tone policing discussion.

[Sean @burly_earl]

@RichMoneyBling America was a happier and more prosperous country in the 90s and 00s. For a variety of reasons but mainly inflation. I don't blame zoomers for being bitter about being poorer and less upwardly mobile than their parents.

@dannykanell The kick 6 would've been halfway irrelevant with 12 team playoff. At most it would've adjusted seeding.

@pk198722 You don't think there's unscrupulous businessmen out there who would lie, cheat, or steal to make a buck?

[Sean @burly_earl]

@pk198722 Is the argument here that employers don't have obligations to their employees ? Is that really the rabbit hole we want to go down?

[Sean @burly_earl]

@sheuf34832 He's complaining that price increases are done to protect margin or improve margin. In other words: costs to make the product go up 50% but the price doubles. That kind of thing. And I agree: price increases are often disproportionate to the cause.

[Sean @burly_earl]

@carney3531 There isn't a free market in housing. Zoning and city approval processes mean you can't just build what you want for the consumer. And even if you could, developers stop building when the price of homes is going down. The goal is max profit not social good.

[Sean @burly_earl]

@river_is_nice Inflation has caused massive issues for home affordability. 20ish years ago a teacher made ~35k and decent homes started at 100k. Now a teacher makes 60k but a home is 250k+

Downpayment? Saving 50k on 60k salary is way harder than 20k on 35k salary.

[Sean @burly_earl]

@ChaseGoodbread Marvin's criticism was unusually personal and vicious, and he should apologize for it. Chase would you not agree with that?

[Sean @burly_earl]

@TheBlackHorse65 I've argued for a while that the USA was a more prosperous society in the 90s than now. And I'm always surprised at how many "number go up" economic nerds argue with me about this.

[Sean @burly_earl]

@dogluvr3333 @Needlesbebad I'm not blaming the doctor but none of this is explained to the patient how insurance is rationing care by punishing doctors. I used to live near a medical school teaching hospital and they shotgunned labs. I moved, so now I have to beg for lipid panels.
