The implication that these metrics improving over time leads to better living conditions isn’t necessarily true. Being objectively more comfortable and safer won’t necessarily make you subjectively happier. Consider the old adage that ignorance is bliss.

It might be harder to exist in a safer more comfortable world if you are also (due to information spread) more aware of how your existence impacts others or the nature of your existence itself. The world improving in the way you’re saying might be inherently tied to emotional and existential struggles that make the quality of life improvements irrelevant for many people.

US pressure isn’t the cause, quite the opposite, they overthrew a number of legitimate democracies in favour of dictatorships that aligned with their interests.

They overthrew (all democratically elected) Perón in Argentina, Banzer in Bolivia, Allende in Chile and Arbenz in Guatemala, among many many others, and replaced all of them with US friendly brutal dictatorships.

It goes deeper than taxes. That’s disengenuine and overly reductive to even try and play it off like that. There’s a rift in America right now. One that I don’t honestly see healing. Neither side is looking to concede. Both are the most self-righteous twats that I think the nation has seen since the crown ruled. I think it is a powder keg that is going to go one of two ways: The keg blows Some kind of cataclysm forces people to stop separating into “warring” factions and actually band together to accomplish something larger than furthering their personal political dogma.

Blue governor probably translates to a popular governor win. If the states dont' lean one way or another, I think we'd see chunks of them break off rather than the whole state go one way or anohter.

Another big problem is that if you take the GDP of the areas that are voting blue, it represent 80% of NC's economy. NC is going to be very rough, and if it goes red and there is a mass exedos of even 5% of the cities population, they will all go into instant and massive recession, and frankly it would probably be more.

I'd be really curious to see what happens there, but I tend to think people vote with their pocketbooks as much as for politics, and NC would probably go blue if it meant they were going to get crushed economically almost instantly.

Ahahahahaha. You mention being in the chaos of Chicago riots and get downvoted by people tucked away watching hand-picked info on their carefully curated feeds and told that your ears and eyes are lying to you 😂😂😂.

Very nice. I’ll look into it! Thanks!

How are you getting home ownership rate for millennials out of that data?

This link is much more relevant

https://www.census.gov/housing/hvs/data/charts/fig07.pdf

No I didn’t you fucking idiot lmao. I asked how they defined “urban“ within your source and you’re too brain dead to both comprehend me and also to know that your source is referencing yet another one - which you haven’t read.

​

Youre a moron who just googled for the fastest article they could get to support your point without having any clue what you’re talking about. The world is worse for you being on it. May god have mercy on your parents for they must live with the guilt of your existence

Be positive millennials are beating the Greatest generation who lived during both the depression and WW2

Why does it only compare black and white?

Title has nothing to do with the chart.

Great link! I suppose it isn't surprising. Loose interpretation is that anyone with a pulse can buy a home in rural Kentucky but California/Oregon not so much.

There were relatively few housing starts in the 1930s and practically none during ww2. By the end of ww2, there was a massive shortage. My paternal grandparents returned home during ww2. It took them mo the to find a separate apartment which they wanted because my father was born.

The difference among regions is striking. https://fredblog.stlouisfed.org/2022/04/the-latest-on-homeownership-race-and-region/?utm_source=series_page&utm_medium=related_content&utm_term=related_resources&utm_campaign=fredblog

Poland is the main humanitarian corridor and way of flight for the 8 million who fled Ukraine, and the majority 9f refugees fled to the EU, not to Russia.

If Texas has no human capital, why does it have a low unemployment rate and millions of workers? Someone is paying $2000 a month in rent in Austin and they probably have a job. They are probably not all republicans either, so this whole divorce would be mess for sure.

This math never works as simply as most assume. If you paid taxes in NY for 30 years and retire to FL, then why would you lose Medicare and Social Security benefits? If so, those retired would not be paying mutual fund managers in NY. The whole system would collapse for both NY and FL.

I'm not going to read it for you. You asked for the source. There you go.

NC has two red senators unfortunately, but they are purple with a blue governor. They've been on the edge of going blue for the last 8 years, it's really frustrating.

Aren't there states without mandatory laws for helmet and seatbelts?

Cierto, si le llamamos DEMOCRACIA al hecho de ir a VOTAR por los candidatos que el mismo gobierno y sus aliados políticos escogen.

Maybe you should ask ChatGPT that question

I think so, I too. But, it's possible that was only because Trump was such a terrible candidate in 2020. I'm excited to see if that holds up in 2024.

When states flip, I generally consider them purple for a few presidential elections.
