Down to what, though? A decade ago I had a killer 2/2 with a room mate near Mueller that was only $1500/mo. That peaked up to nearly 3x, but I doubt that it's come down to even close to 2x

No doubt it hasn't been a big drop, but I haven't seen my kids' rents in west and north campus go up in several years.  (Different properties, apples to oranges, but still $800/mth per kid.)

They deserve blame.  Assuming they is the internet/software "titans" and not merely the users.or

Most of these technocrats have an insufferable social arrogance.  Their belief in their own "disruption" and that the rules of bricks and mortar business didn't apply to them was seriously internalized.  Now they think they're too good for democracy, or really any existing government that might try to regulate or restrain their disruptive greatness and unbelievable intellect.  And everyone that doesn't wholeheartedly share their self-belief is an intellectual pygmy moron.

Part of it is flat greed, but another pretty serious part of their sociopathy is their belief in the infallibility of their products and services.

There's a reason most of them, from Gates and Jobs on down, are weird little sociopaths.  And now they have undue influence on how this country is run.

And they will be herded up like the My Pillow guy and drained of everything, just like in the vampire Putin regime.  They're just too stupid to think it will happen to them.  Partnering with someone that is too smart to pay taxes, has no contractual obligations, including marriage, is doing business with a criminal.  Musk didn't invent anything, he stole it, same as Trump.  People that think they can control and steer these crooks are future victims.

In my sport discord I own there is a Michigan fan that’s is an electrician and in his 30’s. He’s die hard MAGA but is also a gay furry himself. He calls his boyfriend his dragon and goes to the furry conventions and everything. 

It's not as weird as you might think.

That is what the ultra fringe looks like.

Apparently a lot of the Silicon Valley crowd thinks there are just too many people on the planet and we need to get rid of some of them via the eugenics of RFK and Heinrich Himmler.

Piggybacking on this, something happened about 12 to 15 years ago when there was an explosion in jobs for web developers (which is how I got my start in the industry) and so much VC money pumping into start ups. It was if all the Silicon Valley VCs started to transitioning to become more parasitic, insular, and then reinventing shit like public transit as if it were new. I saw this banger of a tweet the other day which is emblematic of how out of touch people are with even regular white collar workers,

all you have to do is google Nazi and Furry and its all there for you. That's how big it is. I know it exists because I stay up on whats going on out there politically not just my own party. Now I know that if I'm ever taking the trash out and there is a wolf with a red paw arm band standing there to shoot first and ask questions later.

Pardon longcat:

I’ve seen too much of this world to project my personal experiences on others…especially youth/young adults.  That said, I’d argue:

- Housing is either runaway rent in desirable locations, or affordable starter homes are owned by corporations/more affluent older folks 

- As expected the ‘supply chain’ price increases during COVID never went away

- Large businesses are hell bent on using GenAI to eliminate entry level positions, making the hiring process a robot-driven maze of shit, and squeezing the last ounce of life from those who make it (RTO, social media monitoring, stagnant wages, etc)

- College education cost:benefit has spiraled as prices rise uncontrollably

- Their primary schools are regularly shot up, or closed due to budget, or quality teachers leave red states 

- One health problem can bankrupt you

Theres plenty more, but I feel fortunate to have had an entry level tech support job after finishing college in 2002 which afforded healthcare, a starter home 3 years later, $12k in college debt and no PTSD from lockdown drills.  

There’s a huge portion of young adults that are being denied the American Dream and looking at a future of slave wages where they don’t ever end up owning anything…setting the stage for being susceptible to misinformation, happily fed to them by both traditional and social media that are now concentrated in the hands of a few people/corporations (Zuck, Musk, Sinclair, Nextstar).  

Feeling hopeless and angry, with endless ways to connect with others in the same boat and a government not only encouraging but actively spreading misinformation…you’re gonna pizza when you should have French fried.  

Add on having much of your voting power stripped by gerrymandering, rights trampled on by zealots, and an admin hell bent on forcing inflation.

As with basically every war the conservatives have started in this country whether it be against drugs, terrorism, or anything else, the war against the transgenders will be based on bullshit.  The shooter wasn't trans and there's no evidence linking him to any leftist groups.  But hey, why let the facts get in the way of starting the purge of anyone who doesn't bow down to the orange, shit-stained, dumbass Dictator-in-Chief?
