back in the day, there were rooming houses and boarding houses that were affordable for poor single persons. Let's bring those back because artists and young people and those in middle or later age who are newly single d/t divorce or death without children need communal housing. Many women desire security protected housing. Allow a mix of secure/security provided buildings as well as communal multi-sex housing.

I think some would feel secure in those boarding houses for women that have strict rules (no men in rooms, no overnight guests, scheduled times to be in the house with am and pm meals provided to be comforting/desired and services such as housekeeping, am and pm meals.)

While others wish to live in a more communal building with mixed sex, loose rules regarding guests, a renter monthly meeting to air issues and decide rules and a communal assumption of daily maintenance/cleaning tasks.

I can't comment there anymore. However, now and then I check posts/comments that seem interesting to read but perhaps the subreddits I check are different than yours. Also.. the GenZ influence is staggering. I miss the old internet where people just developed a thick skin and still engaged. But then, I am old.

I think it depends on what services your bank offers. My bank offers Zelle transactions rather than handing out your checking account number.

I micro-invest in companies I am familiar in working with at my job. Mostly bio-tech/healtcare/pharm. I have a 403B that is invested in index funds and bonds that is more serious savings. The Robinhood account is more like... a shoe closet. I buy the shoes I like and rarely sell them unless they, well give me a bad experience in real life (looking at your Reddit, Amazon, and Meta). After Trump was elected... I expanded my horizons to European ETFs and Chinese car companies.

I stopped using Paypal a few years ago. But I had to through it to cancel any subs and recurring payments very carefully. I never had them freeze my account/money but I had friends that happened to related to Ebay transactions. Those instances soured me on selling on Ebay as well.

I don't understand how this can be predicated on an "emergency" of fentanyl being transported over the border when he is actively pardoning domestically incarcerated cartel members and escorting their families over the border and handing them green cards (for a $$$$ price).

I don't think a $10K secondhand pickup truck exists anymore.-- At least not one with a working engine.

I think it was an agreement she was told she had to make in order for the nod.

People heard him. He had many rallies and participated in primary debates. He also had a book out, did interviews. He had a very repetitive message which is normally good for politicians. Some of his ideas were very out of the norm for the time, some isolationist ideas-- not saying they were not valid but there was an alternative running that fed into people's prejudices and encouraged them to be hostile and mean- fed their dopamine centers, and said the words "communist" and "socialist" a lot. Also there were a lot of Democrats who wanted to vote for a Democrat, not a "Democrat for convenience."

He is too old to run for president. Can't we just stop with the gerontocracy?

It was at least kinder, humorous and creative. The National Enquirer which is packed with made up stuff designed to hurt and exploit people.

He may try to take over one of the companies developing CRISPR technology to grow himself new organs... or just buy some from a shady body parts dealer in the 3rd world and claim that he had them grown using CRISPR.. (lie like he always does) and make big promises on how you will be able to special order your cure at a kiosk in 2 years.

Remember Boehner was/is a heavy drinker as well.
