    It’s actually a pretty good article that gets into all that…

    The fact that someone dumb enough to still be on Twitter only reads headlines shouldn’t surprise anyone.

      Except that it doesn’t consider the divide between haves and have-nots in those averages. The have-nots used to be able to afford a house; despite the average wealth increasing, it’s not really been reflected in the purchasing power of the lower class workers.

      I agree with the author. Also, why the fuck would I want to be my parent’s version of an adult? Boomers are boring and their hobbies are watching TV, cooking boxed meals, and shopping for shit you don’t need. I don’t need their milestones to prove to myself that I’m a good parent or person.

        You forgot the ultimate hobby of lawn care. I swear it is what is keeping my old neighbors alive and they live for it.

          Mine needs more clover and native wildflowers. It has some already, it just needs more. Meadow grass mix of some kind, hopefully grows deeper roots.

          My lawn can parch and die, but I love my sensory, moss, pollinator, assorted sedum, shade, and herb gardens.
