Every time we think we have it figured out R gets larger. Data, visualization, social prejudice theory, economics, and pragmatic banter. Independent

@texasrunnerDFW @PolymarketSport Paraguay played a pretty rough & dirty game, not sure I would blame him.

@CBSEveningNews @tonydokoupil Appreciate the change in the CBS evening news. I did watch this evening. If something can be done about the number of pharma commercials, I watch more. The Pharma commercials are so depressing.

@VladTheInflator Not sure I understand your position on 401k. I’ve been putting between 8-10% of my income in 401k with a company match for 25 years. This is now over $2m with 50/50 split . This equates to $80k per year in retirement. Where is the scam ?

[Spelunking Life @SpelunkingL]

@texasrunnerDFW All that wealth is going to by primary inherited by millennials. In 12 years they will surpass Gen X .

@texasrunnerDFW It’s related to members of congress by generation

@leeharris No way this is real

@kiani_rumbo @Dr_RShatsky Disagree. Increase class size of existing medical school, open new medical school (every city has empty office spaces), government subsidies to build new facilities. Problem solved in 2-3 years max. Also ever survey number of doctors that didn’t match residency?

[Spelunking Life @SpelunkingL]

@Dr_RShatsky Every year US Doctors volunteer to go over seas for eye surgeries, cleft palates , etc . These 3rd world countries invest in educating doctors, we steal them for our ineffective education system

[Spelunking Life @SpelunkingL]

@Dr_RShatsky Can’t this easily be fixed ? I have a childhood friend, the government paid for his medical school (via armed forces) , he had to sign up for 6 years service. He covered Indian reservation in New Mexico to start his career.

[Spelunking Life @SpelunkingL]

@Dr_RShatsky Based on your logic we should steal folks from 3rd world where medical availability is scarce. How is this helping the world be better place? Because we are inefficient at educating doctors?

[Spelunking Life @SpelunkingL]

@Baxate_carter Complete BS . Daughter just finish STEM degree (Masters) in a top 10 university . Absolutely no entry level jobs. We have sent 500+ applications. Have spent north of 250k on education.

You are not able to relate to today’s world.

@texasrunnerDFW I know a few couples going through this process, the 2 factors are: attachment to the current community, downsizing does not save them money.

[Spelunking Life @SpelunkingL]

@amanda_goodall Yes, this is very frustrating. My daughter graduated with a masters degree from a top 10 university. Engineering major. Worked endless hours on classes . Tuition + room + board was $100k . No job. The entire family is involved in helping find and apply for jobs.

@texasrunnerDFW According to grok: Using 28% DTI ($203,571): Approximately 8%–9% of U.S. households (representing ~27–30 million people) can afford this payment, reflecting stricter lender standards.

[Spelunking Life @SpelunkingL]

@texasrunnerDFW Basically the interest rates have resulted in an additional $1250 per month for housing. A $4750 house payment would require $200k job.

@texasrunnerDFW Bitcoin?

[Spelunking Life @SpelunkingL]

@texasrunnerDFW Personally I don’t see anything wrong with this, most couples have already lived together for a year. Have a family outing, create relationships with extended family. Creates a strong marriage relationship
