@AriesCorinthier @jakeesebbens @NailsToed CPI is up 296% and incomes are up 504% since 1980.

@jakeesebbens @NailsToed Literally just going off of inflation you're way off.

Absolute retard if you think the average salary has kept up with inflation lmao.

@OnlyFreedoms @jakeesebbens @NailsToed It's not a take. It's what the data says. It's what every economist on earth will tell you. It's not even controversial if you stop reading doomer memes on social media.

@jakeesebbens @NailsToed Wow that’s definitely one of the takes of all time

@Bl00dOld @NailsToed Incomes have gone up faster than inflation.

@NailsToed I pray to God almighty that this guy isn’t suggesting that inflation means salaries go up too. Dear God…democracy is a mistake, the economic illiterates are too much.

@NotA_Bull Pick any year 20+ years ago and do that math. We need a historic backtesting site for buy-vs-rent on housing.

Buying a house in your 20s is a liability, not an investment. Argue against me.

@questionitaall @ValueAnalyst1 @MissJilianne Which, to be clear, is a good thing. They know their tech isn't ready yet so they're rolling it out anyway in the one state that lets anyone do that but they're doing it at safely as possible with only 5 cars and a billion people monitoring each car.

@questionitaall @ValueAnalyst1 @MissJilianne I saw "unsupervised" for Tesla because they have like 3 dozen remote operators per robotaxi. They have 5 active robotaxis and an Apollo 11 command center level of remote operators. robotaxitracker.com

There’s a reason we don’t see hundreds of Tesla influencers showing us how amazing Unsupervised Robotaxi is.

@JeremyR1992 @hknightsf It's a bit strange but that's our society. You can make an illegal left to catch the freeway, slam into a bike who had the right of way and never saw you, and it's fine. You made an honest mistake. Shit happens.

@JeremyR1992 @hknightsf I saw a bike get hit hard by a car making an illegal left on Market (at Octavia). The biker had a green, going down the hill, car made the left and hit them doing ~30 mph. Cops showed up and were basically like, yeah, shit happens. No arrest. No consequences. Driver left.

Nobody disputes that Mary Lau was driving 75 miles per hour on San Francisco streets when she struck and killed an entire family. On Friday, a judge is expected to give her probation. After that, she could get her license back. The case raises the question, what is justice?

@sdwesternworld @blueicecream09 @AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA These discussions all sound to me like, "your kid is a C student and you didn't buy them a tutor." I'm sorry to tell y'all, that's not the problem. You can't solve it with money. You can't buy your kids' character.

@sdwesternworld @blueicecream09 @AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA My experience with kids is it's nature more than nuture, but it's definitely a bit of both. Handouts don't make or break a kid. Plenty of rich kids end up at Chico State and plenty of poor kids go to Harvard. There's more to it than money.

Couple comes in for their annual review. $2.8 million. Well invested. Solid Pension. Completely on track. I ask the question I ask everyone. "How is your daughter doing?" Mom's face changed first. Their daughter is 39. Hasn't asked for anything. Never complained. But she's been in the same apartment for six years. Daycare alone is $1,800 a month. Down payment feels impossible. Dad said "we always figured she'd get it eventually." I pulled up a simple chart. Statistically they live to 88. She inherits at 56. Maybe 60. At 60 her own retirement is eight years away. The money that could change everything at 39 arrives when her finish line is already close. Neither of them had ever seen it framed that way. The annual gift exclusion is $19,000 per parent per child. They can move $38,000 a year to her. No gift tax. No estate implications. Over ten years that's $380,000 transferred while they're healthy enough to watch it matter. Dad looked at his wife. "Why are we waiting?" Most families leave everything at death because nobody showed them the math of giving it while they're alive.

@JonBryant421 FSD crashes once and disengages 20,000 times every 5m miles. I wouldn't call that safe.

What is wrong with people? They’re comparing a drivers assist system to a driverless system? Could it be dumber? Talk about moronic.

@RevenantArrow @DevonFrohne @MKBHD It affects their algo.

@DevonFrohne @MKBHD Yeah what’s the point if we can’t see the ratio?

It was the one glanceable quality indicator for the video you're about to spend your time watching

@blueicecream09 @sdwesternworld @AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA If your kids ends up 39 and not able to make ends meet, no amount of handouts when they were 22 was going to fix that.

@griddr @sdwesternworld @AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA Wrong! It sounds like dad here wants them to be able to take chances instead of being worried if they can afford to eat that month. I was never able to do any internships in college for my career choice because I had to get a job that pays money.

@sdwesternworld @AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA You "want them to thrive" but that's the opposite of getting handouts from your parents.

@AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA Fuck you, Anne. I’m 41 with a net worth of 4 million, the second my kids hit 22 I’m going to start setting them up because I love them and I want them to thrive. The selfish ones need to look hard at themselves in the mirror. Don’t be Anne. Be anyone but Anne.

@McWe @thedstguy @Aartiutwani 2/1 is a common layout for a small place. At some point they walled off a living room and called it a 3/1. Your typical 3/1 is like 900 sqft.

@thedstguy @Aartiutwani And homes were 2/1 because plumbing techniques weren’t as advanced yet?

3 bedrooms and 1 bath?? why is this so common in SF

@Bitcoin_Teddy GenZ is soft. x.com/griddr/status/…

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.

@JustinBrady @ChadMoran The car is slowing down. It goes from 60+ mph to 10 mph in a few seconds before hitting the wall. That's about the rate of deceleration if you slammed on the brakes.

@griddr @ChadMoran 1. Because the car isn’t slowing down. 2. That’s all that matters

I normally don't bother armchair quarterbacking these situations. But watching the Tesla Stans come into the comments is funny. Elon said Autopilot (FSD?) was disengaged 4s before the impact which if you watch the video looks like it was going way too fast at that point. Am I missing something?

@devahaz I base everyone on the price of a deli sandwich and a mission burrito.

In America we only know four prices: A gallon of gas A gallon of milk A dozen eggs A pound of ground beef
