Say you buy a vacation home and want to be able to use it spontaneously. Then you have to put it on Airbnb for short-term rental, and have a property manager and cleaner. All that costs money. Then you have to pay taxes on that income. On t

Not to mention, property doesn't come for free. I as a middle-class person may have poured years of my sweat and blood into my property and then someone can waltz in and claim my hard work for their own with a hand-wavy "I can&#x2

I think you're overstating it. People do recognize and hate when they're given a bum deal and it has nothing to do with getting into esoteric details.

You can kick your kids out of the house, but what about their friend's parents? If they don't do the same, the result is the same - no social contact in the way earlier generations had.

There are plenty of fresh produce items only available wrapped in plastic. Fresh herbs for example, and certain fruits, like berries etc. Either way, I'd say that more produce is sold packed in plastic than not, at least in my local st

Rather than a pithy, "I give this 2 generations" comment, I'll talk about why I can't see myself buying a phone by Google. They don't support phones as long as Apple does. They don't have a clear focus on usabi
