Apparently it wasn't pink eye, and more just really bad allergies. They prescribed me some eye drops, Cromolyn , and I'm feeling better today. Much less sensitivity to the sun.

Yes I do live in rural Ohio, and while I know why people talk about the inability to buy a house in large urban markets, these aren't the only places people live and houses aren't unattainable everywhere (though people don't want to live in those places like where I live).
And you're right, in bigger markets people buying up all the houses isn't the only problem in this situation.

And to be clear, I wasn't trying to take a dig at you in any way. I think many do tend to significantly underrate and look down on many of the areas where housing is cheaper due to various unfounded biases. There are definitely areas in States where housing will be cheaper and there will still be plenty of activities to do, people to meet, etc.

I feel like the media is really out of touch with most of the country.
Most of the country does not live in a huge cities where investors are buying up houses making it impossible for people to buy them.
Around me you can buy a house for $65,000. It is not some unattainable dream.

To be fair though, most of this discussion is about housing where a majority of people live and are where most jobs are. I believe you live in rural Ohio?

But I will say, I dislike when news talks about "corporations" buying up all the houses, because that is not really the reason for inflated house prices. Sure it's an issue, but it's not the main reason. The main reason is we don't build enough housing, and the reason for that many times is local citizens who block new housing from being made. The like of people who will talk about wanting affordable housing to exist, but will push against new apartment complexes being built in their neighborhood.

She has two friends that have fallen out of touch with her, and the reasoning they gave is that she passed them by in where she is, success wise, and they now have nothing in common because she is a wife and a mom with different experiences and responsibilities.


Are they actually saying it's because she's successful and has money?

Because this doesn't seem like it's about her having a house. She's a new mom and has different responsibilities and her friends don't seem to want to put in the work to stay connected through these life experiences.

Why do you care so much about the value going up if youre gonna stay in it forever?

Because we sadly keep subsidizing home ownership in a way so that people want it to be an investment. Meaning they both want housing to be affordable, but also want housing to significantly keep increasing in price (once they buy the property of course).

At what point in our dating? Cause I probably have cold feet the first few months too. I wouldn't cheat over it, but Im not that sexually driven. I feel like if you're 3 years in and they only cheated in the first couple months and never again, you're kind of childish for not thinking any further into it.


I've noticed that questions about cheating don't impact me with the same force it does others. But I fully understand why it's such a hurtful thing for others. But I kinda agree with you. If we're 3 years in, and it happened like in the first month of it us making it clear that we were in a monogamous relationship, I'd probably shrug it off. At least, I imagine I would.

and if they hadnt raised their prices how long do you think they would have gone without supply issues, with everyone buying the cheap eggs?

if people were willing to pay an extra $1/dozen instead of just not eating eggs then obviously the price wasnt too high


bigblu89 posted...
Kinda. But some of those eggs producers had to basically halt production while they acquire more chickens.


Oh, to be clear. I'm saying that using egg prices to shit on corporations is incorrect. I'm agreeing with bigblu. I just think my change to his analogy made more sense.
The egg prices happened for an actual reason and the reason this one company made such high profits makes sense.

There are better examples to use if the goal is to talk about price gauging

I don't think you fully understand what the article was about.

ONE company showed a 700% rise in profit because they were basically the only game in town. Their production didn't change at all, but the prices rose to meet to the demand.

This is literally stuff you learn in the first week of an Economics class.

Let's make it simpler for you.

Three kids have a lemonade stand in three driveways next door to each other. They all charge 25 cents a glass.

Two of the 3 kids parents decide not to buy the supplies for them anymore, so now there only 1 kid selling lemonade on the block. He raises his price to $1 a glass.

Since his costs to run the stand do not change at all, the higher price result in a surge in profits, despite absolutely nothing changing other than the demand for his product going up.

Cal-Mane is that kid selling $1 cups of lemonade.

With this case though, isn't it more that the 2 kids found out their lemons spoilt and are now having to buy new lemons at higher prices. The 3rd kid has no spoilage issue but he also raised his prices to match the 2 other kids, so he has a lot more profit than the others

In 'Merica, once there's a sense that any given public service is for "the poors", nobody else wants anything at all to do with it.


This is actually a reason why focus on making public transportation free isn't the best. You really just need to make public transportation better and make it appeal to middle class people. By having more frequent routes that are easily accessible to people so that they optionally choose to use it, even if it costs money.
Remove the stigma of it being for the poor

The whole thing is partly based on the term "babysitting" being used in a negative connotation. Like yes, people tend to think it's best for these kids to learn and interact in a mainly in a group setting rather than individually.

And yes, society has worked school life and adult life around each other*, in the sense that parents can work while kids are at school. And that's fine... It's not necessarilybad.

But yes, if parents want to homeschool and it works for their family, let them go ahead. People who homeschool have ways of involving their kids socially into groups and stuff like that.

* To an extent. It still takes work for parents to revolve work schedules around school schedules.
