lower middle class and struggling people can't afford to eat well and don't have the time to cook. this probably won't change for another 30 years. sadly, most will probably die before this problem is fully addressed. don&#

it seems like a lot of these problems can avoided by simply staying in one spot longer, i.e. 6 months to a year. i'd say anything less than 3 months and you're basically just a tourist. i've lived in my current spot for 6 ye

the official inflation rate isn't accurate, as it doesn't take into consideration any of those things you just mentioned. i'd say $60k 20 years ago is more like $120k today... and that's being generous.

this culture of abusing your workers spills out into the US workforce as well. i've known people (us citizens) who have had to send lawyer letters to get their invoices paid by these consultancy firms, who aren't used to getting

i agree with you, and it should be pointed out that prop 13 essentially prevents the state from literally kicking out everyone who can't afford to pay taxes on a home that's now valued at 5-10x what they bought it for, i.e. pretty
