Right now? Extended time off work without responsibility.

Front right is keys and wallet. Front left is phone and a Leatherman.

Nothing in the back because of issues putting things there.

I would expect it to look a lot like fashion of the early 20th century for the working class. Clothes would naturally be baggier with greater ability to alter the clothing at certain locations to fit people wearing the clothes. The clothes would likely be made to be more durable on the understanding that undershirts and longer underwear would be worn underneath.

Since clothes would be owned and worn longer, fashion wouldn’t shift as much. You would also see more second hand stores as it was common for the rich to sell or give clothes away to staff once it dropped out of fashion.

They’re making glass, duh.

I can find my phone with my watch.

By the power of Grayskull…

Super green!

Hard.

Even then, it seems smarter to go with China or India since those countries will actually consume the raw materials being produced by these countries.

I feel like you are going to hit a wall regarding streaming rights costs. Also, based on overhead costs and scaling, it will probably encourage fewer music streamers instead of more.

With Uber, they started with ride sharing and slowly nudged its way towards being a car-for-hire business. The reason it worked was because no one really liked taxis and didn’t want to defend that monopoly.

Today, cities are trying to regulate places like Airbnb to reduce their presence in major cities, but the only real hate towards Uber and Lyft has more to deal with employee pay.

Or you had several companies try to start their own streaming services from scratch and thought you needed a ton of new shows to fill it. Disney+ could have easily gotten away with archived Disney Channel shows, all the animated Disney cartoons, the old Star Wars & Marvel movies, and the Simpsons. It didn’t need a lot of the new shows, no matter how cool they looked.

If graphics were with it, people would pay for it.

The fact of the matter is that exponential graphics capabilities requires an exponential input of developer and asset creator budget. Given that there is a ceiling on game prices, it isn’t worth it going for higher fidelity games when the market isn’t going to pay for it.

Democrats could easily run on opposition to Project 2025, which they have done. Project 2025 is policy.

Or maybe they are trying to appeal to voters but a lot of voters support Trump?

That might have been the case in 2016. I think that changed after the election of 2020.

The only alternative to an elected legislature (parliaments are different from congresses) is either direct democracy or one party rule.

The best analysis I have to Dave Ramsey’s advice to debt is like talking to an alcoholic about alcohol. If you have known issues dealing with debt, especially credit card debt, his advice will probably prevent some serious harm. However, for someone starting to deal with finances, it may not be the best advice.

There is much less of a familial obligation for help between adult children and their parents than in other countries. There is something of an expectation, but it is either tied to economic duress or disability.

For instance, it is common for adult children to pay rent to their parents if they continue to live at home. Sometimes parents will give that money back to their kids when they move out, but it isn’t common practice

On the flip side, while Social Security and Medicare are meager compared to other countries, it is common for that to be enough justification that parents don’t need full financial support until they are in a home. Even then, it is expected that the parents use up their savings before relying financially on their kids. That kids send money to their parents just because is not typical here.

I find it easier to respond to long emails because I can have all the documentation for the old email up and the text for the new email. Phones don’t typically have the screen real estate to do that.
