Shit like this is so dumb because you're not buying one sandwich at a time. It doesn't matter how many $2 sandwiches I can make, I'm still buying $100 worth of groceries. That's not insignificant

A little-known hack: 2 slices of Aldi wheat bread: $0.17 3 oz of Aldi deli turkey: $0.86 1 slices Aldi cheddar: $0.15 1 condiment of your choice: $0.02 1 apple: $0.53 1 hard boiled egg: $0.14 5 carrot sticks: $0.17 Cold water from the tap: $0.01 Total: $2.05 You can do this.

@RussekFilm @HistoryBoomer Would kill for a $2 turkey and cheese sandwich with pickles right now.

@HistoryBoomer Spending 10 dollars a day on food is impossible unless you eat 1 meal a day from Dollar Tree, in which case you will have a miserable life.
English
Spend $10 a day on food, and you've saved $3650 a year.
Buy a used car for $25,000, and you've saved $25,000.
A dollar here, a dollar there, and before you know it, you have $28,650.

Oh yeah, somebody spending $20.00 on food a day while making $70,000.00 a year is the reason they are poor and not the fact that the average price of a new car is $50,000.00 and the average house is going for $436,000.00.

The more I read this entitled bullshit the more pissed off I get. I ate a broccoli shrimp pasta meal prep for lunch today that my wife made for around $4.00 a serving. Chipotle is a luxury.
Nicholas J. Stelzner@stelzner_n1150
A Chipotle burrito costs $15. Ground beef is $7 a pound. Inflation is financially crippling Gen Z. Once again, an out-of-touch rich boomer is lecturing young people.

@hankthetank694 @Skyriver7117 @martianwyrdlord Ok. So are you good with a 35-40 minute commute? B+ neighborhood?
English
Wow a $230,000 home, you say?
Please tell us where those even exist.
Selenite (The Rock Lady) ✝️@crochet_mom314
Let's test that. If an 18 year old saves $26 a day by eating the cheap sandwich instead of the $28 lunch mentioned, that's $9,490 a year. In five years, that's $47,450 if you save NOTHING else. That's a 20% down payment for a $230k home at 23. If you wait until 28, it's $94.9k.

One week of groceries for a family. Nothing extravagant. Just the bare bones in a blue state.
I stay home. My husband only leaves the house to work. We have cancelled vacations. Taken our children out of extracurricular activities. Cancelled our gym membership’s. We do not go out to restaurants frequently. I’m wearing the same old clothes that I have for years and I need socks and underwear, but that will have to, I guess, never happen. @RFKJr_Official @POTUS @JDVance HELP!

@therealmcnair AM was so lucky to have a brother like you to carry his legacy. Semper Fi from all of AMs Marine brothers.

Since day one, we’ve been committed to doing things the right way. Taking care of customers. Manufacturing in America whenever humanly possible. Building products we actually believe in.
To date, we’ve donated well over $10,000 to veteran suicide prevention through visor and towel sales, with more donations coming as the next deliveries land in the coming weeks.
This effort is in honor of my brother, AM, who passed away from suicide in 2004 and would have turned 45 this May.
We’re committed to building a real American brand. A brand our customers can be proud of.

@fried_egg_golf Feels like Gil did a shit job in Philly more than any other region in the country.

Just got McNaired by someone. First time wearer.
He shot 65 with 8 birdies.
There are few feelings like getting absolutely waxed by a man wearing your own shirt. Felt like watching your creation turn against you in real time.
Back to the lab.

I literally listened to an entire podcast last night bemoaning how suburban classic courses like Aronimink were going to be proven obsolete this week. And how driver/wedge would completely negate the challenging greens.

RIP to the “Aronimink is going to get demolished” crowd.

@anymanfitness Why does the vial look like it’s from 1996 and sitting in your garage for 15 years?

It's the end of an era -- at 45 years old, my 'natty status' is now over.
I've always been 100% transparent online, so this will be no different. Yesterday, I took my first shot of TRT.
I've never been against test, on the contrary. I've always been pro-whatever makes you feel better and gives you a higher quality of (healthy) living.
That includes test, GLP/peptides, HGH, whatever. If it genuinely improves your quality of life and doesn't shorten your estimated life span, live and let live.
I've also always had dismal free test numbers, ever since I first had them tested when I was in my early 30's. Every time I test them, they're barely over 300.
Even when EVERYTHING is dialed in - 10% body fat, super strong, not drinking, no drugs, no booze, no porn, literally raw dogging life... my test numbers wouldn't budge.
At first, I didn't care. I didn't have any symptoms of low test.
I had plenty of energy.
I got really strong.
I build muscle just fine.
I had a high libido.
Zero issues.
But in the last 6 months or so, something has felt... off. I should be thrilled about everything. Great life. Great career. Getting close to financial independence. Awesome/hot wife. 2 great kids who get awesome grades and are respectful.
Living the dream, right?
But I would still struggle to get out of bed. Be in a bad mood for no reason. Let little things stress me out. See the gym as a chore rather than be excited to go. Had some pretty bad anxiety at times.
I've talked to a number of other men who have felt the same, and have gotten a lot of relief from test. So, we're giving it a go.
I'll report back. Gonna try to get my levels to the 800-1000 range, somewhere in there. Around 3x what they currently are. I would imagine that will make a difference.
So, RIP, natty status. It's been real. Even if nobody believed you were true.

@therealmcnair Love that. Get that pecker pointing away from the target , will open / push that right hip more depth and throw your hands 2-3” deeper.

Getting nuked here as an internet stranger screenshotted an admittedly tough image during his Wednesday. Fair enough honestly. The training aid bit was supposed to be funny and I’m also carrying strong Midwest winter layering while pushing 40 years old.
The good news is cotton still reigns supreme, my wife remains outrageously attractive, and the products still absolutely rip.

Same guy who is brainwashing you to wear cotton btw #whydidyoudelete

@Recliningdad @RobertMSterling Understanding what the hell is going on at Cognizant is radicalizing indeed

Dude this is super super third rail.
Add in the “firms” that did all the paper work for the people and actually actively sought them out…they also advise on how to get relatives over and get them cashflow from the gov too.
US tech used to be middle class kids out of the military or a year of certifications. They built out tech in the 90s and 00s.
Now we have something you can’t mention that is a legit ethnic cabal.

During the Biden administration, H-1B visa holders were buying houses with 97-100% financing. 97% would come from the FHA, with the rest coming from state first-time home buyer programs.
Zero money down. Thanks to programs that were supposed to be helping low-income American families buy their own homes.
FHA loans to non-permanent residents quickly grew to represent 6% of mortgage issuances. The percentage was undoubtedly higher in places like the DFW area, where H-1B visa holders are disproportionately concentrated.
I don’t have anything against people in America on H-1B visas. I’ve said it before—and I’ll say it again—that I’ve found many of them to be great people on an individual level, and I wish them all nothing but the best. Individual immigrants—especially those here legally—are not at fault for flawed US immigration policy.
But this might be the most radicalizing thing I’ve ever seen. Not only are American workers forced to compete for jobs, they’re also forced to compete in the housing market against people bringing 0-3% of a house’s cost to the closing table, versus the 10-20% most people have to pay.
First, companies import mass numbers of H-1B visa holders, largely in "back office" white-collar fields like IT and accounting. This essentially imposes a lower ceiling on domestic wages in these job categories.
Next, these workers—who are generally concentrated in certain geographic areas—create more demand for housing (especially in good school districts), driving up home prices and the cost of living.
Then, to top it off, they don’t even have to save up money for a down payment. They can close on a $500k house with $0-15k plus a 97% FHA loan. Meanwhile, ordinary American families are forced to come to with $50-100k for the same down payment.
I don’t care how you feel about Trump or what your preferred immigration policies are; there’s no defending this. It screws over hard-working American citizens several different ways over, and it’s yet another reason why I will always be glad Trump won and Kamala Harris lost in 2024.
Amy Nixon@texasrunnerDFW
We basically did NINJA loans again but this time with non-US citizens Many homebuilders, such as Bloomfield Homes in Celina, TX offered access to FHA loans for H-1B visa holders through their preferred lenders until May of 2025, when Trump had HUD shut these lending practices down Some of these FHA loans offered 100% financing through a combination of a standard FHA loan and access to State assisted first time homebuyer grants for the 3% downpayment Yes, you read that correctly, your tax dollars funded home-buying grants for non-US Citizens during the Biden administration Is it just a coincidence that home prices began falling at a rapid pace in Celina, TX almost immediately after Trump shut this program down? How many people bought a brand new home with zero money down at peak 2022-2024 pricing? You won’t see an impact at a national level, but you WILL see it in certain markets with a lot of H-1B tech workers and new construction

@xanpersand Why are electric things a nuisance? Scooters much more palatable than road bikes

@MarkAWoolard It’s a cycling and walking path. Electric things are the nuisance

The Atlanta Beltline being this packed with people at 7pm on a TUESDAY is just a delight. Every restaurant along the trail is packed, people everywhere socializing and being humans together. The dichotomy of this experience against Atlanta Freeway Hell just boggles the mind.
English
@dbclass18 @TurboDad Huh? I’ve paid a shit load of beltline taxes over the years . I was just letting him know that bikes make the beltline much less enjoyable. Also what loser rides a road bike on the beltline. Truly loser behavior
English
@MarkAWoolard @TurboDad I pay Beltline taxes and these suburbanites don’t so it’s the drivers that should hop off the trail
English
@MarkAWoolard @TurboDad No, he’s not.
I walk it nearly every day. Tons of bikers, walkers, joggers. Everyone gets along just fine.
