On todays episode of "Why I wanna quit my job". 

Coffee snobs...are insane. The level of douchebaggery with some of these orders, the details, the hassle for the baristas, the time consumed to make one, the price for a cup of java, and lastly the fact that...with that many ingredients in a cup, miniscule tiny amounts of ingredients, there is no way in hell you'd even know if half of them were forgotten, its just nuts. 

 

 

No Dating, No Sex, No marriage, No Babies. 

Massive societal shifts are occurring...due to the pandemic, the resulting economic challenges, political strife, demographic shifts, migration, climate change, the list goes on and on. And things will never be the "same", ever again. The post Baby Boomer generations are rejecting so many things from their parents and grandparents eras. They don't want McMansions. They don't want "Caddies" or Hummers. The don't want the nuclear family with the 2.2. kids, 2 dogs, the white picket fence and all that. They can't afford it. They don't make enough and probably never will, to afford kids at $100k plus, small or average houses for $300k plus, $100K plus student loans, and what for some, could/would be millions (literally, millions) of dollars in healthcare costs.

With a shrinking demographic, there will be less money, and less people paying money, into things like Social Security, and taxes in general. Housing prices will stagnate in some areas, but rental prices will increase. Less business for wedding planners, less bridal gowns, less money spent in related industries that catered to brides, starter homes, kids going to schools, daycare, babysitting, diapers, you name it. And the older generations, those that are relying on the supply and demand for homes, certain types of jobs, autos, things like that...are getting really, really, really pissed off about it. I mean, if young people can't or won't buy homes, the price of your own home ceases to appreciate in value. Less money for SSI and local tax based social programs and thinks like schools, parks, libraries and so on.  

But, its not like this should be a surprise. The Federal Minimum Wage is...$7.25 an hour (has been since 2009, basically 12 years without a single penny increase) and congress, (particularly one party) refuses, adamantly refuses, to raise it, or to raise taxes on billionaires, or reduce bloated Pentagon spending and so on. And now they're starting to regret some of their actions. The greed and lies has been exposed, and more will be, with long lasting repercussions...really damn quick.  :)
