Cybertruck is so awesome.
Until you’ve tried it out, you have no idea, because there’s nothing like it.
Best product Tesla has ever made to date.

Cybertruck is extremely comfortable on long trips especially thanks to: – Minimal body roll – Comfort Mode on FSD (gentler acceleration & braking, softer damping, smoother handling) – Air suspension + self-leveling keeping the truck flat even with load

@MaggieGallaghe @NoFilterSkin I’m sure my mom didn’t have two kids because was anticipating needing care in her old age. But there she is, 79 and widow, and her daughters are making sure to handle everything for her and see her daily. My own daughters also help with their granny. She’s very blessed.
English

@NoFilterSkin These are not the reasons to get married and have a family. Its about having a more meaningful and purpose filled life and making an irreplaceable contribution to your family and society. Nobody can have your kids but you. Not to have a caretaker in old age

Ladies who don’t want to get married and don’t want to have kids :
Respectfully, what is your end plan ? Where do you see yourself as those days near? Are you in a nursing home, assisted living? Are you going to have a nurse come to your house ? Live with sibling , nieces or nephews ? Are you going to be jet setting across the world?
Honestly, I really just want to know.

@BigIndianPub @StandUpForFact No it’s on a lake in Raleigh. Water/trash/sewer/etc is over $100. Gas is around $80. Power $130. Verizon about $100. Internet $60. I think I underestimated before
English

@figmartini @StandUpForFact Utilities and Verizon is $500? Does he live on the Moon?

“They tell us to stop eating out and rents $2,000 a month. Oh, save for retirement, and yet you can barely save for next week. Go buy a house, every house is half a million dollars”
“I'm not asking for a handout, man. We're asking for a freaking fair shot at life. Our parents did not work harder than we work right now. They were simply just given a better chance. Their wages covered their lives, their bills, their hobbies, their passions. Our wages barely cover our freaking bills for the month, dude.
No amount of budgeting can ever fix a system designed to keep us down. We're doing the best that we can. And yet it feels like the outcome has already been decided.”
Do you firmly support and respect this young man?

@Always_A_PAB @Torah_FitnessTK @StandUpForFact They have one 2012 accord with 300K miles. Everything they own has been a secondhand gift. Internet is pretty necessary b/c he has to do some work at home. They rent a condo so they can’t have a garden. He’s had the dog 9 years, probably won’t be around much longer.
English

@figmartini @Torah_FitnessTK @StandUpForFact Do they have two cars? Most boomers had a 1 car family. Do they have internet ( want vs need), pets (unnecessary expense), a garden to offset food costs? New furniture, new clothes? We compare to boomers but rarely live like they did.

@ossymans @marriedmn He employs at least 20 people in two locations (2 hours apart) and his brain is the brain that knows and handles everything. I’ve tried everything. :(
English

@figmartini @marriedmn That explains a lot . Can't you persuade him to step back from work a bit ? I'm 62 . I go to work , come home and forget about it.
English

@ossymans @marriedmn He’s 59, stressed to the hilt running a business. Dropping T levels.
English

@figmartini @marriedmn You must be extremely rare . 99.9% of men never turn down sex . I get it once a month, if I'm lucky . Mexand my last wife went 6 years without it . I'm not saying you're telling porkies, but it dies seem strange. Maybe he has a physical illness ?

@SingleMalt1942 @dani_baker70304 @StandUpForFact Yes, he was 15 when he became an addict, escaping pain from a very real and heartbreaking trauma. He made the choice to get clean and we are all very proud of him.
English

@figmartini @dani_baker70304 @StandUpForFact “Recovering drug addict.” There you go. We all have choices. Some people make poor ones.
English

@Torah_FitnessTK @StandUpForFact Baby was not out of wedlock. Fortunately for him, he’s very intelligent and a hard worker. Also he has very successful parents who have the means to help him get to a better place ❤️
English

@figmartini @StandUpForFact These are all signs of a failure ma’am. No offense bay out of wedlock, no marketable skills to get past average income. This is the path boomer parents left for their children. Some people just can’t compete in life and have to live a low level life. That’s the outcome
English

@Torah_FitnessTK @StandUpForFact He is as happy as can be working and being there for his child. They don’t ask for help. My point was simply that $52K isn’t a living wage regardless of your past decisions.
English

@figmartini @StandUpForFact Today’s society has an outcome problem. People want optimal outcomes without optimal choices. The choices that put them in that situation were not good. So now they’re left with an outcome they hate but in reality society doesn’t owe you the outcome you desire.
English

@dani_baker70304 @StandUpForFact I’ve thought of that but they have a big scary looking dog (even though he’s a sweetheart and great with the baby). Other moms might be nervous. Also the mom is a recovering drug addict (w/college degree) and will likely work later. She works 8 hours a week for $160
English

@figmartini @StandUpForFact Wife should do daycare for a couple kids for extra $. She's already home with 1.
English

@Torah_FitnessTK @StandUpForFact The baby was an accident and the reason the wife doesn’t work is daycare is about $2K/month so it’s not worth it
English

@figmartini @StandUpForFact The issue is a 33 year old man making 52,500 a year and trying to have a stay at home wife. Theyre just not successful enough trying to force a lifestyle they can’t afford
English

@MorganKreg @ryanjt84 @StandUpForFact Taxes are over 9%, health insurance $400/month. Bring home pay every two weeks is right around $1500 (or $3000/month).
English

@figmartini @ryanjt84 @StandUpForFact What kind of girl math is this?
50,269 Taxed salary (NC 4.25%)
Divide by 52=966 (weekly salary
Multipy by 4= 3864 (monthly salary
Rent and utilities 2000 per month
Monthly salary - monthly bills =1864
English

@ryanjt84 @StandUpForFact We have income tax in NC. Also, he gets paid biweekly so you take the taxed salary and divide by 52 weeks and multiply by 4 (because 10 out of 12 months, he gets two checks per month). Twice a year he gets an “extra check” which usually pays off a car repair or something.
English

@figmartini @StandUpForFact $4,375 - $2,000 =$2,375.00 / 4 =$593.75.
Where’d you get $270 from?
English

@ossymans @marriedmn 100% false. I do not get all the sex I want. Husband gives in about once every month or so, and only because he knows he’s letting me down. I want it every day
English

@PhonyAlt1235 @notkatbaker How is half an inch massive? That’s the length of a toenail
English

@notkatbaker 0.5 inches soft? That’s massive wtf
English

@Chopsmath @TheRobertBshow It’ll be the best years you ever spend with your kids!
English

@TheRobertBshow You can't ruin them in one year, so why not give it a try?
English

@jasonc_nc The bigger discussion is why women aren’t taking care of their own children.
English

I’ve yet to see real data but anecdotally it seems boomer grandparents are largely disinterested in being childcare providers, in a departure from the past.
Makes me think that’s also why childcare has become such an urgent discussion. A formerly broad labor supply vanished.
Nina@NinaPanickssery
Genuinely curious—why don’t more people use their own parents/kid’s grandparents for childcare as opposed to daycare/preschool/nannies (which seem more common)? Is it common for boomer grandparents to show disinterest in their grandchildren?
English

@Aj53Aj @librtynjust4all @WallStreetApes Sorry, I failed to mention wife and baby. Wife doesn’t work.

@figmartini @librtynjust4all @WallStreetApes If he cant make it on 52k in Raleigh he wont make it on 100k either..

American parent with 2 grown children ages 28 and 25, says America has changed and kids can no longer make it like they did
“I thought by teaching them what I learned, which is you work hard, you get a good job, you're gonna get the things in life that you need, right? Worked for me, why wouldn't it work for them? Cause it doesn't. Because the world has f*cking changed, all right. And now I feel like I see them struggling. And before my generation comes at me, yes, I understand struggling is a part of life. We all struggled, but there's a difference between struggling and drowning.
So we struggled and it was tough, but you know what? We made it. We knew there was a light at end of the tunnel with our struggle. It seems like kids today, no matter how much they struggle, they just get further and further down the water into the drowning point.”
She goes on to explain in detail, how now it is essentially physically impossible, for a young person to make it in America today
“Its no wonder there is a mental health crisis among the younger generation”
