Not on his whims though, he can’t just go outside alone. And before we had a yard it was on leash only, which is something most people could do if their cat did show antsy behavior.

I have three cats. Only one ever showed interest in outside, so we got him a harness and leash. He loves it, the best treat in the world. Now we live somewhere with a fenced in back yard, so we let him out with no leash on supervised play times, and one of his sisters has shown an interest so she comes with us into the yard. When we can’t be with them as supervision, they stay inside. Not so different from a small child.
We also play with them all daily and are currently building an elaborate climbing wall to keep them entertained better during the sweltering heat of summer. At no occasion do they need the opportunity to murder in order to be happy.
I’m disengaging.
Curious, as the person who you were originally responding to deleted their comment. Is that per year or a one time expenditure?
Also, 36k is still literally 44-80% higher than your initial claim.
Data instead of anecdotes?
1975 =/= 1980. Looks like housing went up 64% in those 5 years from the data I already linked.
That’s an exaggeration. The median price for new construction in 1980 was $64,600. [1] As for existing housing stock, the median home value in 1980 was $47,200. [2] As housing prices are heavily right skewed, the prices of cheap housing is far closer to the median than the price of expensive housing. Based on a cursory overview of some charts, it seems like the bottom 20% of houses are no more that 30% cheaper than the median, putting them in the $30k range.
Most Americans have less than $1000 in savings. Unless you live day trip distance from something most people won’t ever see it.
I’m from hexbear, people are critical of it all the time on hexbear. You just can’t criticize China and not know the people there are far better off than those in the US
Omg this is the most redditor argument I’ve seen off reddit. No one likes a pedant.
Also, they do state they would pay off their mortgage, so not only are you a pedant but also a wrong one at that.
If you started with $100M, you definitely could buy yourself a house and car before donating the rest. Hell, you could buy it out of the $2M and still be better off than most folks.
Or less for less. I know a woman who is a manager of a dialysis clinic, as soon as she was making over 100k she started getting pushback from higher ups, having more oversight, and having her funds for extra services to patients / staff cut. It’s clear they want her out even though she has the lowest mortality in the region, because they don’t need more than beds filled (Medicaid pays) and legally required minimums to be met.
As opposed to the corrupt oligarchies liberal states are… I guess you just don’t call it corruption when it’s working as intended.
This just made China’s system click in my mind. Thanks Awoo
Socialism is also an economic system.
My partner worked in non-profits for years. Her advice is find local organizations (homeless shelters, local LGBT orgs, neighborhood revitalization orgs, ect.) that DO NOT have a national (central) office. Get to know their staff, their mission, and then make pledges to pay $X per month for the next X years. This is how they can best do the work they are passionate about to help people in need. Don’t put strings on the money and you are moving closer to mutual aid than tyranny.
Also, 66k with no rent or car payments.
This plan only costs you your humanity. You probably weren’t using it anyway.
Ah, thanks for the info. That’s actually what I suspect is happening with the new fractional shares thing, but the brokerage is the one retaining control.
My cats origin:
A momma cat showed up pregnant and had her kittens under the trailer we were living in. The rest of her kittens disappeared, and she was a feral, but we took the remaining kitten in, our bestest baby boy.
Adopted from shelter so #1 would have a friend. It didn’t work, he only likes humans lmao. Fortunately for her, a few months later…
We heard what we thought was a injured bird outside our apartment in the middle of the night. Turned out to be an oil covered baby kitten. She was adopted by #2 :)
