@TraceyRyniec @jonbrooks Yes. There are millions upon millions of millennials currently amassing wealth. They will also be inheriting boomer wealth in the coming decades.

@jonbrooks I have wondered what will happen to the resort towns like Aspen, Santa Barbara, Santa Fe, Scottsdale, even the Villages. The Boomers have all moved to those cities. Will any other generation do the same?

This is a massive story that not enough people are talking about in housing. The Silver Tsunami is real. Demographics are destiny.

@mcsquared34 Education spending has never been higher. Education spending doesn’t correlate with student achievement.

Stupid ignorant people are much easier to control, which is why education has been systematically defunded in the United States for the last 50+ years. There was a time in the not so distant past when student loans didn’t exist.

@ianpauldukes He doesn’t have cash or gold. He’s built companies that are going to be worth that much.

@thebasement5ile @WarMonitor3 Americans didn't even have ammo to fight with after 5 weeks and all their military bases were destroyed lmao. The fact is US military is no match for Iran. Just good on Netflix.

🚨 BREAKING: 301,620 signatures have officially been announced for the Alberta independence petition. That is far beyond the required threshold to trigger the Alberta independence vote on October 19th. A massive day for the Alberta Independence movement.

@james_dere33985 @DeAngelisCorey Well, home school students perform significantly better than public school students on national exams and perform well in college. So what does that tell you about your hypothesis?

@DeAngelisCorey Funny, because homeschooling regimens are so unregulated that the only people who homeschool are neo-Nazi parents who want to groom their children until they're 18.

@manson1430690 @shawzsav Sorry, reposting because I typed the wrong sample size. 8,167 tenured/tenure-track faculty sampled from 186 public and 181 private U.S. universities. I have no idea where you pulled that lie from.

The funniest thing ever to me is when republicans say college ‘indoctrinates’ kids and makes them liberal…it’s almost like education makes you smarter

@Apollo_1776 @DeAngelisCorey @bonchieredstate Take a portion of the money and tell the parents they’ll receive a it if their child passes the state math exam. Then watch the magic happen. It’s not the teachers’ fault that kids are failing, it’s the fault of bad parents.

@UziCryptoo Median rent for an apartment $1,370 in the US is. Get something crappy on the lower end while you work at Chipotle.

Uzi@UziCryptoo·
In my area, In-N-Out and Chipotle are hiring around $20/hour for new workers. Let’s say you even land full-time at 40 hours/week: $20/hour = $800/week That’s $3,467/month before taxes. After just 12% in federal taxes, you’re left with about $3,051/month take-home. Now here’s the reality: Average one-bedroom apartment is around $2,000/month. So even working full-time in fast food, 65% of your income disappears to rent alone. That leaves you with about $1,050/month for: • food • transportation • insurance • phone • savings • emergencies This isn’t a “budgeting problem.” This is a cost of living crisis. Working full time should never mean barely surviving.

Gas in the United States is relatively cheap, even today, and so is food. Gas was over three dollars a gallon back in 2006. Families now spend a smaller share of their take-home pay on food than at any point in American history. Home prices will come down as we build more homes, which is already happening in areas across the country. I’m optimistic because life in the United States is not hard unless you insist on living above your means.

Gas prices are the breaking point. It will cost someone with a 1-hr commute an extra $1,000 this year. But over 60% of Americans don't have the money to cover a $500 emergency. And credit card debt and hardship withdrawals from retirement accounts are already at record highs. There's just no more to give. The working class has been cutting back year after year, and everything just keeps getting harder. Higher oil prices also mean higher diesel prices. Transportation runs on diesel. Other products become more expensive. Inflation rises. PCE inflation is the highest in 3 years, and there's no indication it will slow down next month, especially with no end to the war in sight. People are struggling. Any politician who dismisses that or refuses to do anything about it needs to be voted out of office.

@ThomBrady5 If the war ends on time, gas prices are going to absolutely plummet and the economy is going to boom. Democrats will lose. If we’re still stuck in this war much longer, then Republicans will lose.
