Hey looks like i got one point!

Not with that attitude you ain’t

This story got darker by the end:

Planet Hollywood in the Tom Bradley Terminal is set to permanently close on Saturday, leaving Ortiz unemployed.

Zero (born in '66). Can we add some more to the list?

21: had to wait for the television to warm up

Do people on Lemmy think that there was a time when one could afford a house on fast food worker wages?

Those were the days

When you think about it we’re kinda like worms. Stuff goes in the front end and shit goes out the back end. Day in and day out

Chrome on android, no ad blocker. Maybe they let you see a few articles for free eack month and you’ve hit your limit?

Weird I can see the whole article

A minimun wage construction job? Someone is lying to you. Dad was probably working the glory hole at kwik-e-mart. No bank is going to give a house loan to someone making minimum wage.

A “measly construction job” is a good paying one. A person working at a McDonald’s for 40 hours a week at that time would not be able to afford an apartment let alone a house. When your aunt bought her house interest rates were in the teens, today they are 7% and that’s a record high. My parents bought a house in 1976 for $28,000 dad worked full time at a city job plus always had a second job or side hustle. Our family would strip copper to make ends meet. Mom cooked every meal, eating out was a rare treat. Never once did we even order pizza, Mom make it with powder dough. We didn’t have cable. Got by on two junker cars sometimes one.

Every generation has it’s challenges. This is the first to have a public circle jerk/pity party

Are people under the impression everyone who had a 40 hour a week job had their own house?

Sure hard work pays off eventually but procrastination pays off today

One thing that’s occurred to me. The argument on the Trump side against DEI is that folks should be hired based on their ability to do a job yet the main qualification of the people he is putting into positions of power is their loyalty to him

Phyllis Fong is her name. She is brave and she deserves to be recognized

Crucified on a cell phone tower? He’s pretty high up

More like living in their car. Careful who you poke fun at

The headline gives the impression it was the trains fault

Yeah I saw it reported in a few online publications all crediting Lloyd’s as the source. I think it took longer to hit mainstream news because of the holidays. FYI, I didn’t think it was to embarrass Russia, I’m just leary of war propaganda (remember Ghost of Kiev?) and anything click-baity. Actual news reporting/opinion/bullshit all look the same online. Nobody wants to pay for anything anymore and that doesn’t help

Thanks for the info, I had never heard of it
