Why do anything and sell for a profit then? And owning rental properties is work. A lot of work. And you're wrong about the 1% thing

Eh, it's not backbreaking.. But I see what you're saying. What do all the 20 y/o non college educated kids do now? I know not all of them are in a trade school.

Makes sense. Same in my area. I wonder if this isn't all going to blow up and cause another recession soon. Seems like this shit can't be like this for long.

I'm having a laugh at the people in our company that are mad about having to come in an extra day per week. During COVID, they'd say, "Suck it up, it's your job," or, "be thankful you have a job," if we complained about all of the OT we were working. We were working 70-80 hours a week during the first few months of COVID.

Now, we're throwing it back in their faces

Honestly, I think the company is trying to push out some office workers, and making this new rule is enough to get some people to quit. This way the company doesn't have to give them any compensation when they're laid off

Fucking grocery prices are up big time too. I like to grill Ribeyes, and the price has almost doubled. Everything has gone up, but like you said, the restaurants are even crazier. $14 at a McDonalds for a skinny guy like me? Fuck that

Depends on the job. We have labor positions that pay $18, but demand a little bit of physical labor. It's hard to fill those positions.

10 years ago, people would line up for that job for less than $10/hr and the work was much, much harder. Something has definitely changed

When I started with the company in 09, people were coming in during outages and trying to outperform each other so they'd be hired on full-time. But the economy was ass back then and it was hard to find a full-time job at my age

Back when I was a kid, I ended up guessing my principal's internet password for our local dial-up. His email was through our local phone company, so his login name was the same.. So I had free internet from 8th grade til I graduated. Eventually, the phone company made it where only one person could be logged in at once, but by then I had the money to buy my own.

My parents weren't home a lot of hours in the afternoon, and I was the oldest, so I had free reign. I kind of miss those days

I still remember the 3 passwords I got over the years. His was "kramer" and the other two were "Ozzie1" and "Chicken1"

Oh man. That subreddit was a fucking trip. I followed it for a while, and couldn't believe how the hosts would interact with them. Some absolute crazy people on that sub

Reddit 3rd party app, according to Reddit devs

I know a lot of Republicans that hate how both parties have become. We need some independents to vote for. There's a lot of us that are caught in the middle. I agree with the small govt part of traditional Republicans, and agree with a lot of what the left has. For whatever reason. All we get is some bullshit extreme from either side.

What about normal ass people that just want people to leave them the fuck alone, pay taxes, keep their roads working, and stop wasting (literally stealing) our fucking money

Send me your social security number and any other info I can use to ruin your credit, and I'll hook you up

I'm aware. I was hoping this would be more like the old Reddit... but its not unfortunately. Dumb users have made their way here as well
