You can still find a few Rax in the southern part of Ohio

I hate southerners and am from a proud Union state. What the hell are you talking about?

We called it senioritis. That sudden change of excitement to dread as seniors realize they are going to be separated from the peer group they’re mostly been with for years at their local school and now have to go out and make something of themselves on a new, unfamiliar environment.

They may be added at a defined time stamp, but if the ad length varies, then the timing would just be thrown off.

I know they get pretty local. I listen to a podcast from Canada that inserts ads for concerts in my home city in Ohio.

390 down/340 up. I pay for 300/300, and it always tests higher, and at a price less than I paid for 100/10 service from the cable company. And it has about 1/3rd the latency as cable. Love having fiber. Worth noting that cable went to 300/20 as soon as fiber came to the neighborhood for the same price they charged before. Competition rules.

The landlord is the one cheating. They are likely earning a kickback on those included internet plans. Your landlord could have said no. Sadly it’s pretty common for multiunit rentals to be locked in to just provider.

Not that ISPs don’t usually suck. When AT&T Fiber lit up in my neighborhood in 2022, magically Spectrum was able to offer faster speeds at lower prices. Though sorry Spectrum, I prefer my 300mbps symmetrical to your 500/20 service.

Didn’t say you did.

I just want you to realize there are still a ton of us struggling, regardless of what the official numbers say. For a lot of us, or pay has not caught up with inflation, and there is no sign of it happening soon. Necessities continue to go up faster than inflation. I don’t care that TVs are cheaper, I don’t need a new tv, but I do need to eat.

It is more dangerous this November than people realize.

I have and will have no children

I’ve been graduated from college for 18 years

I’ve never paid an overdraft fee in my life

I am 24 years from being Medicare eligible

I don’t think I’m that unique. Your below policies will help many, but also will not make a difference for many. Sorry I am not pleased being in a perpetual donut hole. Too poor to be comfortable, yet too “rich” to get help.

I’ve looked. I’ve seen little. But you don’t seem to have looked, since you are so confident they exist but can’t name one. Instead you just call me names and resort to ad hominem attacks.

You seem to be under the impression I am supporting Trump or something. I despise him and every Republican.

But that doesn’t mean I’m not pissed when I see prices skyrocket while my pay only goes up 2% a year.

I see little policy effort besides what was already done. What proposed policies can you inform me of?

So as long as a policy helps some people, we don’t have to try and help more?

Yes. You apparently do not. So long as some people do good, everyone else that is struggling can fuck themselves, it seems.

Well it’s a good thing no one is attempting that?

Oh, what do you call a statement like “The US economy is booming?”

You’re an outlier. Understand that you’re not the center of the universe, please.

Are you going to tell me I am the only one struggling and not seeing wage gains? Do you want to tell me my experience does not matter?

Data can absolutely be misleading. Liars, damn liars, and statisticians, as they say. And trying to produce one number that somehow represents everyone will never work, whatever economists want to think.

The fact is many of the super-poor are doing better because government benefits like social security are indexed to inflation, meaning they are actually keeping up.

Personally, my real earnings are down over $10,000 a year. My whole industry has stagnant wages. Don’t piss on me and tell me it’s raining.

I call bullshit. That is not what anyone sees.

Wealthy shareholders and C-suite executives are trying to squeeze out as much profit as they can. Their boom leads to bust for the rest of us.

The US Economy is only booming for rich people.

This plane is 32 years old, delivered in 1992

In fairness, the 757 was designed when Boeing was still engineering focused and is one of the best commercial aircraft ever produced. This airframe, N672DL, is 32 years old, so it was almost certainly an issue with Delta’s maintenance. It was also quickly repaired and returned to service the next day.

No one was criticizing Airbus when one of their aircraft was found the other day missing fasteners before a flight: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/nyc-bound-flight-canceled-passenger-31941807.amp

Lots of companies are willing to pay for international business class, but not first class. So airlines have responded by making business class nicer and nicer. That, in turn, has made former first class passengers just buy business class because it’s almost as good for cheaper. So people are not buying first class tickets, so might as well eliminate them and add more business.

Worth noting that domestic first class (which is what they show) is a totally different thing.
