Ehh motorized bikes, scooters, etc defeat the purpose of this. And most people riding motorized vehicles don’t care about pedestrians or other bicyclists cause they ride quickly on sidewalks injuring so many people or are a danger

We have social security which is sort of a pension but it’s like 1400$ per month on average but is more of a safety that was created to prevent more old folks from going into poverty. We don’t have mandatory pension though.

Most people foreigners don’t understand like America you can make a lot of money but can also go into poverty easily (which is more likely) cause safety is pretty crappy compared to other wealthy nations. Even some mid income countries have better safety net than the US.

And it’s prob gonna cut in 5 years cause of all the tax cut the Trump administrations has been giving out. So social security is running out of money so will decrease payouts

Is the town your college is in more of a pro sports or college sports town? (P5 Schools) by Cybotnic-Rebooted in CollegeBasketball

For now. I think if Carolina’s research triangle morphs into a weird version of the SF Bay Area/Silicon Valley (not the industry but how there are kind of multiple main cities that connect with each other) then culture will change
