the “kids are cheap” people seem to forget that people tend to love their kids and want to do things that make them smile. like toys and parties and vacations and sports. no one wants to be the “no we can’t we are poor” parent
@long_nebraska@Charlesaf3@HunterNewberry8@Alexfeinberg If you looked a few weeks ago before the Hormuz conflict you’d see that they were on a fire sale. Unfortunately everything gets more expensive during a pointless war. Especially gas
@long_nebraska@HunterNewberry8@Alexfeinberg No oil changes, no transmission issues, no spark plugs, no exhaust, no fuel pump or injectors, and regenerative braking extends the life of the brakes. All you have to do is change the tires and the wiper fluid. What are you lmaoing about? Electricity is cheaper than gas…
@engelchrudinous@mathematicanese@RealCalvin1 That’s just not true. I agree that the significance of a bachelors degree has been declining, but it’s just disrespectful to professors and the hardworking students to say that college is making students stupider than when they entered.
@bball_Benn@healwhatyourev1@rainsblog Luke actually handles the ball more for the lakers. Rui has size but it’s not like he’s an excellent defender. Their roles are similar
@Whosnext10b@Fox_and_Goat@dubsndoo You’re right. 2008 average age of a person buying a home was 39, and it was corporations who bought up all the foreclosed homes. Now, in 2026 the average age is 59. Can’t blame boomers for 2008 but they are certainly playing a huge role in the housing crisis today.
"If u just eat bread & water for 3 years you'll have the down payment on a house from 3 years ago. But unfortunately it's increased in those 3 years, so you're going to have to do another 3 years of bread & water I'm afraid."

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.
