  1. They are coming for you. Boo...
  2. Oh, it never ends. They just move on to the next Spiraling and out of control grievance. The chips that came with the shot.
  3. I like your line of thinking.
  4. Yea. I’ve pushed ‘Marty’ several times when it is in my way lol but my son used to love it. When he was 3, pre pandemic, he immediately find it and hug it. He doesn’t care for it anymore though. probably because he has and sees cooler robots.
  5. And If those automated areas raise the wages of the few employees they have left at those stores, the prices go up...smh. Even stop n shop has a stupid robot that rolls around the store detecting spills. They spent $100k on that thing but it doesn’t even clean the spill. It detects it then tells a human over the megaphone to go clean it up lol. Can’t make this stuff up
  6. Agree but the problem runs deeper than the free market correcting itself. For example: America has the highest childcare costs in the world. We pay $2400/mo for two kids. It is a demanding job to watch and care for a classroom full of 2yr olds and yet, the teachers make like $11/hr which around here is not enough to make a livable wage. Two teachers close up daycare at 6pm and head to stop n shop for a part time night shift. I know others work other jobs as well. And not it’s because they want to make more money...it’s because their full time day job doesn’t support their basic living needs. You have to be really passionate to perform that job, I sure as heck wouldn’t do it lol. We should reward that but instead, our system is designed to take advantage of the labor. How do we fix this? If the business raises their wages, then they will most likely raise our costs. Parents would eventually take their kids elsewhere...and around and around we go.
  7. Agree but corps are greedy so trusting them pay livable good wages for low skilled jobs is like trusting wall street to regulate itself. McDonald’s came out bitching about the jobs report saying if they raise their wages, the Big Mac price goes up lol.
  8. Yea...when you can make more money on unemployment, maybe the capitalistic system that takes advantage of cheap labor is to blame? When the fed min wage sits at $7.25 while all accounts/studies say it should be pushing $20, we have a massive wealth gap problem and not a lazy problem. These CEOs who have come out and blamed the feds for too much UB should look in the mirror and possibly cut their millions and billions by a fraction and raise their worker wages. Yea, Jeff Bezos...it starts with you. Nice mega yacht you bought that needs it’s own yacht. Certain media outlets and big names do a great job of diluting the truth to keep the minions angry at the wrong entity so they can just continue reeling in the money. GL to the next generations. The system is broken.
  9. Yea. Anything above 60 is dank to me. Keep it below that and I’m good.
  10. AC is all about dews for me. If it’s like 85/45 (rare), I wouldn’t turn the AC on. But a 75/70 day, yes.
  11. Yea. We’ve been cool and damp for weeks with some decent but windy days sprinkled in. Kids were freezing past two saturday mornings at T Ball. It will be nice to hit sunny and normal especially on the weekends moving forward.
  12. Chainlink is in all the articles I’ve read, definitely a good buy...but I tend to navigate to the cheaper ones for the chance at a home run lol. I’ll get a few chainlink shares eventually though. It would provide a good batting avg compared to the home run swings.
  13. Cardano is a blockhain like ETH but apparently is faster and more secure.
  14. It’s a long play for me. Very long play. Turn a small investment (Hoth will correct me and say ‘gamble’) into something big or if it doesn’t turn out to be much, so be it...but I don’t want to bail out for a quick flip and miss that. We’ll see.
  15. Nice. That’s pretty much my portfolio but less shares. I’m pumping more Cardano and XLM this weekend though. LFG!
  16. Agree. No qualms on anything here.
  17. Sure that happens but you’re generalizing a tad and too focused on the psychoanalysis of multi million dollar trust fund babies. For us...If we can leave our kids and grandkids with enough of a nestegg where they have opportunities to do whatever they want in life, without having to bury themselves in debt, that’s a success for us. My parents did enough for themselves as Polish immigrants to retire comfortably. Unfortunately my dad passed away before he could enjoy his retirement so my mom benefits from it now. However, she isn’t passing much down. And it’s not just money but assets. Real estate, land plots, etc. We are trying to change that.
  18. Generational wealth opens up avenues. It doesn’t guarantee/offer anything besides that though. Happiness, intelligence, etc...
  19. Hold on...let swallow a gummie first.
  20. Lol that’s true. He can only move two blocks away.
  21. Family can always come visit. You gotta do what is best for you and your girl, for YOUR future...not theirs.
