  • This is an AI generated article.

    It’s sole piece of ‘evidence’ for this claim is that millennials are earning 17+% more on average, per household, than previous generations were at the same age. This is an inflation adjusted number, but that’s it

    No consideration mentioned for the difference in the average cost of living between generations, which is the entire fucking complaint millennials have been making.

    Yes, I earn six figures a year and am debt free whereas my father wasn’t anywhere close to that at my age. My dad also didn’t have to clip coupons to be able to afford $7 boxes of cereal and $5 half-gallons of milk.

    Also, the American Enterprise Institute is quoted. Lmao.

    Dumb fucking “article”.



  • I don’t think you’re wrong for noticing that trend, but I don’t think it should be a trend we follow. A country that prides itself on freedom and equality (under the law) should probably buck the trend that says “because of where you come from, you must be treated differently.”

    It’s not that it’s not a reasonable thing to do, but that it conflicts with our stated ideals.

    One thing I like about Americans is that wherever you go in the country, there’s usually not the same international trend of a “foreigner’s price” for things. Turks, Brits, and Yanks all pay the same for a New York hotdog, ya know?






  • Yeah, because a lot of flight controllers STILL have to pickup gig work or else resign from their positions in order to pay the bills.

    That means less air coverage, which in turn means mandatory flight reductions.

    Even if the government 100% reopened this minute, it’ll still probably be around another 2 weeks before the first round of paychecks go out, and even then it won’t be enough to cover nearly a month and a half without income.

    The effects of this shutdown will still be felt for months.
