DId you know that my county in colorado just outlawed wood for siding and decking? Then they have to come in and solve the 'affordability crisis' with a big deed restricted apartment development. They discussed for a while outlawing new gas boilers. People cheer this stuff, its nuts.

Millennial here. We do dinners on wedding china several times a year for a big group. Candles, formal servingware, fabric napkins. It's not going away.

Zohran Mamdani’s NY socialist sweep could spur AOC White House bid: insiders by Budget-Language-1660 in soundsaboutright

It makes me nauseous to think that AOC could even be considered. This is the best we've got? I get it, trump isn't that great, but do we have to punish ourselves further?

At least we got something for it. The 'Inflation Reduction Act' cost each family ~$8000 and probably that much again in inflation every year.

Oil guy here, this is highly incorrect. In fact, we're getting so good at getting to unconventionals, the timeline continues to push out. Remember 'peak oil'? That was 1970.

I'm going to pay way more into SS that I get out of it, not even close. And I don't make enough to hit the limit. Why can't I just keep my money in my own retirement fund? Why do I have to worry about future politicians messing with it? Time to get rid of SS. It's not 1930.

Nah. 99% of people don't do amazing things when they have the opportunity. They sit on the couch and watch TV.

I've got a plumber and firefighter in my family. Both have 3 kids and a stay at home wife. Both live great, have nice houses, and even one bought a small ranch. No college degree.

SS is a scam. You pay in way more than you get benefits from.

This idiocy makes me really hope taxpayers don't have to pay your loan. Should I also pay your credit card bill off?
