I am surprised we are not seeing co-ops in trades emerge to address this.

Hot dude with a cool attitude.
In real terms we're earning less than people who were alive during the great depression but there are more jobs which people are spinning as a good thing because instead of being unemployed and starving you get to be employed and starving. Economists should be cremated and their bones should be used to make cement.

Several of Biden's "ONE MILLION JOBS CREATED THIS MONTH" headlines they gloated about being historic god tier Presiding in 2021 and 2022 were revised down to 0 jobs later so it's not like this data can be trusted. Sometime next year it'll be "oops September 2023 jobs were actually 30k not 330k"

If you're on the right side of the K-shaped recovery or whatever it might seem a little more true to you I guess but it's very hard to hide the fact that by and large people's purchasing power has gone down and hasn't come back unless you have enough cash to just sorta 10 Dollar Banana your way through everything

it’s a maintainable feeling. it is a guaranteed feeling of “more normal” and relaxation, and being able to rely on that can really help with emotional regulation.

have been a non smoker and a smoker, and ultimately I can’t get up and go walk around the block during a meeting where someone is saying dumb poo poo, but I can vape a little and rely on the predictable reaction my body has. would be great to not have to or not want to, but of all the bad habits people form to emotionally regulate it’s pretty far down the list, imo.

I guess I can see it from that angle, yeah

Easier than ever to maintain due to the prevalence of vaping now I suppose but it still sorta seems like a pain in the rear end since people are starting to get touchy about when/where you can use a vape
