Nighttime babysitting is not a proper function of government. Workers shouldn’t be taxed to subsidize someone else’s date night. Grown adults are perfectly capable of making their own date night arrangements.
My boomer dad asked me last week why I'm still renting at 43.
I told him a starter home in our area is $410,000.
He said "so save up."
I said the down payment alone is $82,000.
He said "that's not so bad, break it into pieces."
I said after rent, insurance, and daycare I put away maybe $400 a month.
He did the math out loud. Got to seventeen years. Went quiet.
Then he said something I didn't expect.
"I put down $3,200 on our first place. I had it saved in eight months working at the plant."
Then he just sat there for a second.
"I always thought you kids were exaggerating."
That's it. That's the whole conversation.
He wasn't being cruel. He genuinely had no idea. Nobody ever showed him the number.
Most of them aren't defending the system. They just never looked at it.
Remember when we were screaming "They are doing more more than reading license plates!" and everyone went:
"You're crazy! They just looking for stolen cars!"

If you have to have a meeting to figure out what a woman is, you're not fit to lead an organization. Even if that organization generally loses ~$50 million a year.
don't know who needs to hear this, but start living. the days are flying by, and all you do is work, pay bills, and stress. enjoy what you can - walks, sunsets, music, laughter and nature. joy doesn't have to be expensive. you deserve it.
If you are a cop and you have to go to someone's door over comments they made online about a foreign nation, you are the bad guy. Sorry if this is news to you.
