Overuse of plastic.

They seriously put things like Oranges and Apples and carrots in individually wrapped plastic bags...

Seriously, I bought a bag of bell peppers last week... just sorta grabbed it because I was going to make some kare' and there were no unwrapped options. I get home and realize that every single one of the bell peppers within the bag was also individually wrapped. Things didnt need to be wrapped to begin with and then theyre double wrapped what is this shit.

Single use plastics drive me insane. Biggest one for me is bottled water, motherfuckers buy a reusable water bottle and fill it up in the the sink (unless you live somewhere the water isn't drinkable.)

NotaskibumNot really. We just need to build more housing

What kind of housing, the gentifrication housing? Jobs are decreasing, automation is increasing, population is increasing. The US is a meme economy, top heavy on meme jobs. It is unsustainable at this point. We need some smart people to figure it out or you know, just create another real estate bubble AGAIN.

Literally all kinds of housing, everywhere. :)

Also jobs are not decreasing, there's a big labor shortage actually. Hiring good people is impossible right now.

Not sure what you mean by meme economy.

If you want to prevent a real estate bubble (which we are already in) the solution is to build more housing.....

Like, theyre giving away cheap old houses in Indiana but people would literally rather be homeless in California than live there.

The housing crisis, and employee shortage. Watching Bozeman Montana turn into a Lame ass city like anywhere else. Whiners. Everyone is whining about everything and its annoying. "We hate these people because there from X and Y even though im from Z"

I cant stand the Division in our country, biased media getting people all wound up, no one is nice anymore.

I mean like luxury housing, affordable housing, apartments, single family homes etc. In California and Indiana. The housing market in Indiana is actually more competitive than you would think.

It all helps. Supply and demand.

Couple things.

1.) Had a local college student drown in Lake Michigan a week or so ago. As sad as it is it happens seemingly every year at least once. Crazy part is the vicitims family is claiming she was murdered on the basis that the victim was black and the friends she was with where white. Name dropped the other girls names, doxxed them, the whole nine yards.

2.) University I graduated just installed a new president despite 75% if the faculty voting no confidence and student protesting. University and new president have been very quiet while making big personnel changes and its causing problems. People are making big claims based on hearsay and start to draw lines and pick sides. University needs to set up a town hall meeting where the guy takes questions and provides answers so people can quit specualting so much.
