  • That’s not it at all. Literally, my children told me, “I don’t want to go up, I just want to go to the houses with bowls”. But it’s not a lazy thing, it’s a social anxiety thing. We don’t chat with strangers, we don’t make small talk with people we don’t know, we don’t ask people things we can find out without asking people things. We’re socially awkward parents and we have socially awkward children.

    Millennials, the ones who would much rather text than call on the phone their dearest friends and closest relatives, are 35-40 years old. They’re the ones with halloweening children and those kids are just ask averse to face to face interactions with neighborhood residents as we are.






  • I’m just surprised there isn’t a shadow industry of selling blood products fed on people altruistically donating for free (like, as far as I can tell, every country with public healthcare does) with corrupt pseudo-legal marketing ensuring that blood products are not sold for profit (because they sell the bag, not the blood, or they sell the service of delivering blood, or some bullshit like that)



  • Fun fact! My coworker pays more in rent for his apartment than I do on the mortgage of my house. Most often this is true.

    I’m getting a once over by the bank, he’s getting done once over by the bank and again by his landlord, and they might not ever be different.

    So how is an immigrant supposed to thrive when a foreign investment firm is profiting off them twice?

    Subsidize affordable housing, tax wholesale & foreign landlords out of existence. It’s simple.
