What these stats often miss, including this one at a glance, is that they're looking at average housing cost across the entire country. Housing in Detroit is definitely a lot cheaper than it was 20 years ago, but in Seattle and Portlan

It's an entirely legitimate use of tax to disincentivize behavior that is a social net negative. That it's overwhelmingly the upper class that would be hit by it only means that they're the ones benefiting tremendously from e

Good thing cars that aren't from Tesla never malfunction in lethal ways. If you ignore the 89 deaths from Toyota vehicle acceleration issues, 271 deaths from Ford's faulty tires in the 90s, 303 dead from GM's faulty ignition

Food and housing and education and healthcare are all more expensive than ever. I work in tech making six figures and can't afford a single family home. My employer pays $700 a month for my insurance. I spent $1000 a month on groceries
