Unpopular opinion:
If you make $170,000 per year but still live paycheck to paycheck?
You have might have a spending problem not an income problem.
...Do you agree!?
@Geniustechw Woooow. So now we can no longer protest? So no more standing up and using our rights to speak out. So what all of you are saying is that we no longer have freedom of speech. Got it. I hope Trump goes to prison so you dumb fucks will leave the US to actual humans.
ICE OUT of SLC now! I’m proud of our community for showing up and speaking out against the DHS facility that came out of nowhere without any input from our community. There is no place in SLC or anywhere for these detention centers. From caucusing yesterday to protesting in the streets tonight - thank you for showing up. No more reining in rhetoric - abolish ICE, prosecute now. Our government is killing people - strongly worded letters aren’t cutting it. People better get used to this level of disruption, because we’re going to keep showing up. We’re not backing down when you come after our community.
@theficouple Hot topic! I very much disagree at least in a big city like Toronto. A full size home, nanny, two cars, food, insurance etc. Is wayyyy past earning $170k before tax.
@theficouple Could be. Could also be where you live.
I make about 150k a year, but I live in middle Tennessee so I’m pretty set. If I was living in the Bay Area it would be a different story.
California is beating its own climate goals ahead of schedule:
✅ Two-thirds of the state grid powered by clean energy
✅ More than 2.5M electric vehicles
✅ 201K public chargers (more than gas nozzles)
✅ 17,000 MW of battery storage (2nd only to China)
The cynics said it couldn't be done.
This 18 year old man’s family breaks down when they hear the judge issue a 25 year sentence for armed robbery.
Caden Fontenette and 2 other young men used firearms to rob the Bulldog Convenience store.
Judge West said, “Things have just changed in such an incredibly dangerous way with young people doing what I just saw you do on that screen. I cannot imagine the fear that person had that was working in that store. Just trying to go to work, make a living and go home. He has three people come in and not just grab a little quick something and run out, but terrorize him for quite some time. Pulling him around, yanking him around, putting guns in his face. All three of you.”
Judge Raquel West also pointed out that Fontenette has been involved in violent altercations since he has been in jail following his arrest.
He will be eligible for parole after serving 50% of his sentence. Well before he turns 40.
@Bitcoin_Teddy Boomers had free college and $5 rent. We get $50k debt and eggs that cost more than therapy. Rent’s a subscription now and the landlord still ghosts you harder than your situationship.
Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.”
No, you didn’t.
You didn’t pay $3200 for rent and $10 for eggs.
You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security.
Gen Z isn’t dramatic.
They’re drowning.
@Bitcoin_Teddy I have 3 gen Z kids and two are married with a home and stable jobs.
They aren’t drowning. Of course I gave them advice on how to navigate their environments instead of telling them the deck was stacked against them.
Florida has led on election integrity for years — banning ballot harvesting, eliminating Zuckerbucks, creating a state office to prosecute voter fraud, among other initiatives — and now we will be enacting the Florida SAVE Act to further bolster our nation-leading efforts.

The SAVE America Act could stop millions of eligible Americans from voting—including married women whose names have changed, veterans, and seniors.
This isn’t election security.
It’s Donald Trump dismantling the right to vote.
