Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

mormon culture is seriously hosed up. If you get a few mormons into a room together and just sit there quietly, they start to talk like it's 18 loving 30 all over again and they are earth's last hope. It's ridiculous.

I grew up Mormon but lost interest in organized religion when I was 14. As a result, family members expressed to me that I didn't belong in the family any more. To a 14 year old.

This is the kind of thing you expect out of Scientology. Mormon culture is seriously hosed up.

I was renting a modest 1br with W/D in Boise for $550 in 2009. It runs almost $900 now when I look it up. No minimum wage increase over there.

Nope. Lots of family in Utah related to those particular relatives though. I assume that's the case for most mormons in the US though?

Yes, probably. Just wondering because that toxic brand of mormonsim seems endemic to Utah. Sorry you had to go through that.

To be fair you can still get a poo poo room with terrible roomies for 300-500 bucks here, but that means living with just some god awful piece of poo poo people from Craigslist. Can't exactly have a family or be a non dirt bag anymore for under a grand + after utilities.

My Mormon mom grew up with a "adopted" brother who was Navajo.

Back in the the day the church placed Navajo or other native Americans in "good" Mormon homes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Placement_Program

quote:

In October 1960, Kimball discussed the program at the General Conference. He said that Natives who participated in the program were gradually turning lighter, becoming 'white and delightsome.'[10] "The day of the Lamanites is nigh," Kimball said, claiming that Navajo placement students were "as light as Anglos" and, in one case, several shades lighter than parents

I did the tourist thing through southern Utah very recently and I was pointedly looking for a Sodalicious or similarly stupid soda shack but came up empty handed. I'm guessing they're more concentrated in the north of the state where people actually live.

I'm sure there are several in St. George and Cedar City. Outside of those cities you're probably lucky to get a familiar chain restaurant.
