Even with the whole imprisoning 1/6th of Baltimore thing, if he just straight up bitch-slapped Joe Arpaiao, I'd vote for him until my death.

so weird to hear optimistic news about the economy on NPR on a regular basis then see charts with 20-30% of millennials living at their parent's house and stuff like this: http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2015/12/09/the-american-middle-class-is-losing-ground/ Basically the good news I'm referring to are things like "unemployment is down to 5%, jobless claims are at an eight year low, interest rates might go up because things are picking up, more people buying homes," etc. I can't be the only one always hearing this stuff. I was never really able to reconcile these reports.

I work as an investigator for a bank and while I came from a payments processing background, a bunch of them started their careers as tellers and more of them had stories about being robbed than I was expecting. None of them are really into guns though, one of them is like "the gently caress would I need that" like it's the dickbat from saints row.

It's also probably becoming a cultural change at this point. It's not like every culture thinks moving out at 18 is the Correct thing to do, even in parts of the states. Lots of Hawaiian families, where there wasn't always a million acres of unsettled land in every direction like on the mainland, have 3-4 generations living together and would be sad and even hurt if their kids moved out.

I'm seeing more homes built with multigenerational families in mind. There's a main household and then an attached apartment that shares the garage and laundry room etc. The idea is that one of the kids can come back, move into the apartment, get married etc. Once they have kids, and especially as the kids get older, you swap houses.

My grandfather ran away from abusive alcoholic parents at 12, worked on a farm until he was 19, was drafted into WW2, and then worked at a marble query until retirement. My dad on the other hand went into the Air Force and used every single benefit and tax deduction he could get his hands on.
