I think you're making incorrect assumptions about my "disconnect" and using that to validate your dismissal of my opinion that other variables are important when doing cross-generational comparisons.

Sure, but my high salary doesn't enable any of the things I mentioned. I'm still capable of making observations about the world around me; my friends, family, who have low salaries have access to these things and are seemingly ab

I question whether these generational comparisons are using the right statistics. In the very least they don't seem to paint a complete picture. Maybe I am biased because I'm a very successful millennial. I have the world at my

What crushed us was when dominos implemented the "delivery fee". As drivers we only got ~1/4 of the ~$2 fee per run, but customers began treating it as though it was a tip.

Ex pizza-delivery driver checking in. I made about $15/hr (incl tips) delivering for dominos in 2007. I drove a $2000 truck and didn't much care about coverage on it. It was the best summer job I ever had.

Well here's to hoping that we ARE out of this mess even if it costs me my airbnb deposit.

That's.... Something I've never even considered. Thank you for pointing that out. I wonder if the pressure difference adds to the irritation as well.

Additionally, this policy has been modified since COVID arose to only apply to 1.5 months out. In the past, and in fact when I booked my airbnb (late last year), extenuating circumstances would have easily covered an epidemic 2 months out.

Yes, strict cancellation policy. For those following the drama, they keep extending their extenuating circumstances policy out but it doesn't cover most of the summer yet. Apparently the circumstances are only extenuating for the imm

Mine is late June / Early July in Italy of all places, and is not covered. They keep extending the coverage period though so I'm crossing my fingers.

Glad to see the money they are stealing from those of us who can't cancel our summer airBNBs is going to a good cause.

>705 were aged 20 to 44, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Between 15% and 20% eventually ended up in the hospital, including as many as 4% who needed intensive care. That's not a shocking number to you?
