Trickle down economics working as intended (making all our youth suicidal)

Idk how Gen Z expects to afford a home when they're out here childishly splurging on all these $2 cans of V8 and $6 rotisserie chickens

It's infuriating to me that younger people want dense housing because we know that building more is the only way we'll be able to afford to buy. This would massively benefit older folks who could downsize and live independent car-free lives as they aged in place.

I was assigned “Alabama Song” for an opera workshop class back in the early 80s, and it launched a lifelong passion for Weill’s music. “Interest! And compound interest!”

Happy Kurt Weill's birthday!

The left's war on Jews is expanding to target trans people too.

Mullen has never served in the military, never deployed forward, never been in a combat zone. He has never smelled of tastes or, never felt it in his nostrils. It is not something he’ll never forget because he’s never experienced it.
