  1. That's the hygiene products mostly! My wife and I began making soap (personal care, dishwashing, and handwashing). Magically I now have to cut my nails super often and shave every two days. Most hygiene products are stunting your cellular growth.

  2. What happened? Mega-corporations got to stay open and absorb the $7Trillion we printed, all the while small business got shut down forever. We inflated the corporate sector and destroyed mom and pop.

  3. Stay out of debt and live minimally on a high wage job. Go get a CDL and bust $85k for several years. Live on the bare minimum! That's what I did working at FedEx. Debt (aka - student loans) are the real killer.

  4. Sure you can, just induce hyperinflation lol

  5. Don't buy a home; it's a ripoff. Or at least don't get a mortgage. Buy land outright or not at all imo. Anything higher than a 4% interest will typically be more expensive (gross cost) than any rental. People need to stay out of debt, get their income up, and throw savings into a brokerage account on index funds. The only problem I had was I blew $8k on weed stocks back when I moved out at 22. Wish I hadn't, but you live and learn I guess.

  6. Wouldn't be happening if anti-trust was enforced and we weren't subsidizing the losses of these companies. As usual, government is gate-keeping the profits of large businesses; hence they can do whatever they want.

  7. If the debt gets defaulted on it surely will. People can only afford to delude themselves so long as their money keeps the collectors away and keeps them content.

  8.  @TheeBlackSilhouette  Look, wrapping your mind around the idea is hard; trust me I believed the same thing as you Try and listen to my reasoning. Your 87, 89 octanes have a similar numbers of MJkg per gallon than say even Canola oil. You can put all three in your vehicle and the vehicle will run. However, canola oil or any kind of generic alcohol will be rough on your engine and mileage will be terrible. Human body works the same way. You can conflate two foods with similar caloric values as equal, but your body will process their energy differently. Research on rats proved this over a decade ago. You can give them the same caloric value of different items and it will literally cause them to become obese rats. Much of that energy is not metabolically sufficient and it does depend person to person to a large degree. This is why Polynesians blow up like balloons when you feed them corn and wheat. Metabolic insufficiency; as well as histamine reactions.

  9.  @Jewel_Screaming_Chango8387  Tech drove up the expectations and so did female income. Women date (same age and +5); also across and up when it comes to income. If a majority of women are making the same income or higher than the average man. This completely screws up the mating evolution. Social media makes it worse because women are more likely to buy into internet peer pressure and standards. So they set an expectation for their husband to be a multi-millionaire that looks like Brad Pitt. The last part is that women are not evolved to deduce things logistically or mathematically. So they never wonder how millions of them won't be able to have a small selection pool of those mates. Fertility drives the smoke screen and technology drives the illusion. So women don't snap out of it until they're 35, by the time they're largely infertile and a depreciating asset.

  10. @NightmareNate7 Based on what exactly? Try not to take that logic to it's conclusion. Living life after 40 (without spouse or children) is a mistake people mostly regret. Eventually you'll relate to nobody and have no close family left. It's not a life I'd wish on anyone. You're probably young I assume, but eventually you'll find out that an ideology of (freedom to do random things) isn't going to get you thru to 80 years old.

  11. People always max out their cards the most before a recession. They never learn. You can never spend your way out of an economic crisis; the only solution is to downsize and remove liabilities. Not just on a large scale, but in every household.

  12. Well, it's always the conundrum with humans; they are built to worship Thinking you're not-religious is just a state of denial. If you don't worship a God, then you'll worship yourself, or other people; it's really that simple. It all comes down to aspiring to live up to an idea greater than yourself This is why nomadic humans for the last million years had a largely non-existent spiritual life. People telling you otherwise are selling something. Hunter gatherers focused on the survival of the family and thankfulness of the sun and moon. THAT was their God. As civilizations become more complex (even with native American tribes) a more complex spirituality is needed to enforce the social hierarchy. Essentially elders defending their position of power in a growing community of people. When it gets even larger, you have to introduce spiritualities of 'force' like Abrahamic religions to keep people under control. Now that Western religions are declining, the family is declining, and gratitude is declining. People sit at home worshipping themselves alone until they die. Mother nature is resetting the system; not reproducing is a fail-safe to ensure humanity returns to it's natural state.

  13. Yep, because they have debt that they voluntarily took. Debt is significantly worse than raising kids, believe me.

  14. Yep, it's really no different than the solar panel investments. People get all excited because they save 70% on their electric bill and get a $2000 tax credit. How much do you still owe for that solar panel? Oh yeah, $31,000 at 5.47% for 8 years. Thank you for playing lol People in love with the new electric technology always get mad when you ask them how much they owe.

  15. Again, we're blaming everybody except the people that did it; the Federal Reserve. Politicians are a close second. Generic bankers and lawyers didn't destroy your standard of living; social security bubble, student loan bubble, and every other government intrusion that protects asset values and profits in industries of their choice.

  16. Well, what are your circumstances; debt is a real killer. The economy is inflated yes, but perfectly manageable if you're not drowning in debt. As someone who has paid $40k in medical bills since 2020 and paid off some $167,000 of student loans; I don't understand what some people are complaining about.

  17. Welcome to America, women have been doing this since the late 1960s.

  18. Don't hurt yourself trying to figure out why lol I always thought I was weird for reading the Gulag Archipelago in my teens years. It's always been apparent to me how untrustworthy authority can be. I'm not sure why it's such a shocker to people to find out the badges and political office can make average people evil.

  19. Things are easier with a stronger purchasing power. Blame the constant currency devaluation needed to prop up social safety net bubbles.

  20. 90% pension? Yeah right. Most cap out between 60-75%. Medical depends on industry and location. Also, you're paying into Social Security and are never allowed to receive it if you take your pension. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

  21.  @sorryociffer  It has value because of demand. Bid - 3000 Ask - 15000 This will change when the bail-outs come; again. Then everything goes to auction and gets sold for peanuts. After that, car values drop like a rock.

  22. Yep! I started to get that feeling around 18 years old. I'm 30 now and I'm convinced that you have to be smart in order to survive here. Virtually everything is one step away from causing you cancer or getting you indebted.

  23.  @ShaunHensley  Well, depends on what you're measuring. Men that aren't appreciated will give up. But so will men that are addicted to porn, drugs, or modern isolation. Remember, that women are the ones that seek out men based on resources in an evolutionary sense. Social media gives the illusion that the bar can be raised 10 fold, simply because you interpret random people having a better lifestyle than your own. Men have to live in the reality that they've created from an asset perspective. Women (as long as they are not struggling) will base their new resource cravings on the illusions of social media. No naturally, this is why it seems that women have expectations that are not realistic. The problem is, they won't change this perspective until their fertility is completely shot. Thus giving us a 30-34 age demographic that are unmarried by 54%.

  24. Of don't worry, they're doing it in healthcare too! They'll fire you for the same reason you think they'll give you a raise! Years of experience and skill = you'll ask for higher wages (and we can't have that now can we?)

  25. Yep, and 94% of them come from Sallie Mae (Government loans).

  26. At this point, jobs will never be the same until deflation occurs. As long as debt outperforms GDP; your wages stagnate and prices rise, period. People can complain about free markets, unions, or spending all they want, but the fundamentals don't change. I don't care where you stand on politics or Covid. The reality is that between 2020-2022 the FED printed $7 Trillion dollars while state governments shut down small business and destroyed more than half of them. So naturally, all that printing inflated the pockets of mega-corporations and annihilated nearly all their competitors. That's why all the jobs and products suck considerably more than they did even 5 years ago. I'm not one for conspiracies, but for Christ sakes look at the outcome! It seems pretty intentional if you ask me

  27. @louis-vd3ur Well, I'm not so sure most of it is willful; it's all about life-stage. If you don't get married and have kids, eventually your parents and their friends pass on; the circle shrinks. I'm 31 with children and it naturally alienates you from people that don't. You just enter a whole new chapter, where-as the other people can't relate or empathize. Of course there are some people (free-spirits) that can make 100 friends per day and live an amazing life just chasing butterflies. However, I think a many people foolishly believe that they have those qualities. I think the biggest sentiment right now is freedom and no responsibility; in so choosing not to have kids or settle down. It's the 20s style thinking, but it honestly burns out by the age of 40. If you can't relate to people or share a life growing something for the eventual benefit of others; life will sour. You see these people all the time that feel the need to justify how happy they are being single and childless after 30. If it were true, they wouldn't be telling you lol

  30. You'd actually be lucky to be working in a factory or warehouse right now. There are no jobs; believe me.

  31. It's more probable that the color schemes on your television, laptop, and screen are presenting you with over-stimulating and exaggerated coloring. So naturally, your eye-sight adjusts to these fake color schemes and real life looks significantly more dull.

  32. OR losing it all. You're forgetting that almost anybody buying into those loses money. Only 1-2% of people carry all the weight of these crypto currencies. So they can dump or pump it at any time.

  33.  @mrdanielleebrown  Easy lending always pushes prices up. So in a perverted way, I guess you can claim that it (created more value), but not really since it's all just a bubble of bad lending.

  34. I think most people say 'third world' to mean (homelessness, horrible public transit, high income inequality, and trashy. I'm from Ohio; Columbus, and Cleveland are dumpsters. Cincinnati is alright, but there's not really a single city in the Midwest I envy.

  35.  @antibell  In California yes; it's 1 in 36, the US average rate is more like 1 in 50, but it's still insanely high. Plus, it's NOT because we've widened the spectrum of diagnoses. This is a lie perpetuated by companies so that they kick the can on getting sued.

  37. Buddy, I'm 30 (married). If I ever lost my wife; I would never date again either. It's actually very simple. There is a high demand for 'good women' and 'good men'. However, there is an extremely low supply of each and the 'buyers' are asking too high of a price anyways. It's the exact same problem in the job market. Good jobs are rare and both employer and employee are asking too much; ends in a stalemate. People in this country have absolutely no idea what real 'loneliness' and 'desperation' look like. Until they experience it, things are not likely to change.

  42.  @chuckkoehler9526  Well, I mean we can trace anything back to the dawn of man. I think what people are trying to describe is (centralization - corporatization). That began with Reagan ultimately.

  43. Uh, no lol. There's a reason that teacher turnover is ridiculous (13% teacher turnover) in the state of Texas alone in 2023. Administration is insane and those three months you get off; yeah you don't get those off. Get ready for endless unpaid BS.

  44. I love Jack so much; no homo (is that still as thing?) Anyways, thank you so much for you humor and down to earth outlook. In an age of radicalism and high tempers; it's nice to see somebody that works hard, takes care of his dad, and empathizes with everyone :) You're the best!

  45. A third? Try half! Most people aren't doing the math. After your W2 taxes, sales, property, work-city tax, school tax, bureau of motor vehicles fees, fuel tax, and capital gains. I guarantee you it's between 45-60%.

  46. 2K a week in 2024? I find that a bit hard to believe considering how low freight volume has been the last year.

  47. It's actually about 4 times harder to buy a home in 2024 than it was in 1979. Interest rates are irrelevant without income/inflation data.

  49. Financially illiteracy is largely why people blame capitalism. How about blaming the government that devalues your dollar or enables companies to use unfair trade practices pertaining to patent extensions? You know why your US insulin is so expensive? Because one of the largest manufacturer has an import contract with a plastic molding company for your albuterol inhaler. Most of that price is for the holder. Medicare and the FDA is completely in on it too! That's not capitalism; it's large businesses USING government as a gate-keeper against competitors.

  50. Honestly, you could even go back to the Industrial Revolution. That in and of itself created all the ideologies that government must manage the world.
