To rent a studio apartment in this area (not an overly high COL area) with rent of about $1,500, you need to make $72k a year as one person. That should be the poverty threshold- what income is needed to secure a zero or 1 bedroom unit.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

When my son was in 1st grade, the school told me he was reading at a 3rd/4th grade level, but then adamantly refused him acess to higher level books in the library because "it will make other kids feel bad" (direct quote).
I told them to fuck off. Now we can all see why that reason was shit.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

"Guess I have another email to write then."
