Living expenses > income. It’s not complicated math. You can’t save when you don’t have enough to live and already putting off things like car repairs, health care, hair cuts, buying clothes…

I’m in my 50s with no savings. It isn’t lifestyle or marketing driven though. I just have had very few years where we had any extra. Also three teenagers and the price of food is killing me, cost of cars too. It’s just surviving that’s gutting me.


As a Christian I agree.


No. This whole push feels astroturfed.


Yes Europe needs to deal with their own land wars.

Your comment made me curious because I know I have read about heat pumps not operating well in cold temperatures. So I looked it up a little, apparently there are cold climate heat pumps and they aren’t installed in most places in the US. Where I live, heat pumps work okay a lot of the year, but we do get cold snaps where they just can’t keep up. Apparently you actually have a better heat pump it would seem.

Heat pumps don’t really work in extreme cold. My office has only electric heat and it runs constantly when it’s really cold, never getting up to a comfortable temp. My home stays warm with gas heat and the furnace runs far less.

Why do I feel like every time politicians do the right thing, it’s the home budgets of regular people who pay for it?


It’s the most convenient restaurant around the corner from my home but I stopped going there.


Well, if trains existed.


I like to cook but some days I’m out of the house 5am - 9pm and I work six days so weekly food prep is hit and miss.


Probably all of the letter agencies cross that line.


Right authoritarianism is fascism, that’s the definition. But left authoritarianism is a very, very real thing. And many people who claim to be libertarian leftists still want authorities to enforce their ideals. Back when I used to shitpost on Reddit political compass memes a couple years ago we used to call them watermelons - green on the outside but red on the inside. There are anarchist leftists for sure, I’m not saying it’s everybody. Those people are mostly pretty cool to me but authoritarian neolibs can eat a bag of dicks.


I’ve been detained and unlawfully searched dozens of times but the worst offenders are cops in major cities. 95% of my terrible cop experiences were in Democrat run cities. Authoritarianism runs strong on the left.


We need to start putting the death penalty on the table for criminally negligent officers.
Yeah they were right about shit like heroin and meth, I knew enough people who threw their lives away to that shit. But my stoner friends were successful and chill. It’s the only drug I care for. I know about benefits of psychedelics but it isn’t for me.
I topped my school’s record score on those tests. I haven’t been able to afford to go to the dentist in more than 20 years. I wish they would have focused on making our society sustainable instead.
As opposed to Hamas’ plan which is the complete destruction of Israel and all its people
