I'm full grown at 5'4" and there are so many cars now where the front hood is above my head. I can't be seen, and it is a worry especially in parking lots where I'm more likely to be walking around cars.

I read a theory that this is part of the reason why people are migrating to metro areas. Metro areas are more likely to have industries for both spouses careers as opposed to just one. Enabling fully remote for remote eligible roles makes i

Is the price frozen once you put it in your cart? Or can you end up with a completely different priced cart by the time you make it to the register?

I tip at the coffee shop because I go frequently enough to be friendly with the staff. It's a positive interaction for me so I tip for that.

I tip at sit down restaurants, the coffee shop where I'm a regular, valets, and people who touch my body (hair stylist, massage therapist, waxing etc). That's it, that's the list.

Why are we so confident that women are the reason there are fewer children? In my circle nearly every woman has frozen or is freezing her eggs, surely that shows a desire to have children?

Depends. Walmart manager could be one of the highest salaried roles in a LCOL area enabling an early retirement or better quality of life than a SWE stuck in a HCOL.

I like this idea, break up and segment demand. We build 55+ communities with rules about who can buy and live there. Why can't we build housing that only available to people with on-site local jobs? Or housing that you can only buy int

Similar in price, but difference in experience. I would much rather travel by train with kids <5 than by a plane.

As a consumer, I've been a huge fan of happy returns. There's a bookstore walkable from me that works with happy returns and they've been able to take many of my returns. Even so, I still prefer to order from places with near

Bit of a flip, not too long ago young women were dying their hair grey/silver.

Why isn’t the solution to reduce the demand for select housing stock, stating that it can only be sold or rented to people who have an on-site job in the town?

I often wonder if we've done consumers, at least in the USA, a significant disadvantage by retiring hard skills like sewing, woodshop, auto repair, cooking etc from middle and high schools. When you understand how to do something, you

My small, private catholic high school in a county outside of Los Angeles is shutting down and the reason given is that there are not enough children / families nearby due to the cost of family-sized shelter. This school sits in what w

In the USA there are affordable 55+ no kids allowed housing developments near job centers. Why can’t we build or subsidize similar developments for families with kids.

I read an article a long time ago that was a series of interviews with poorer women who had multiple kids asking the same question. The answer surprised and stuck with me. The women had children they could not afford because it gave them st

The makeup mirror in my Prius C doesn’t have a light and every time I flip it open at night and can’t check if my mascara has smeared I do think “Damnit this car was designed by a man.” I had a similar thought this morning when I realized t

It blew my mind when I learned that other states have free school buses. In SoCal you have to pay for the bus so everyone drives their kids to school which adds more traffic to already congested roads.

I think you’ve recognized a key nuance. The adult-aged child that retains the traits of a teenager vs the adult-aged child that takes on the traits of an adult.
