We've had to move farther and farther out from Boston. When your landlord can charge premium rent for a closet with something living in the walls, neglect safety issues because you can't afford a lawyer to fight it, and still increase your rent by hundreds of dollars at a time just because they can🤷
It's annoying to see the hand-wringing over a small number of wealthy people making empty threats to move because of tax increases, when there are actually people leaving desirable places en masse because they can't find affordable places to live

People were incredibly rude at the grocery store, today. It's like they were on the best behaviors, yesterday, and now they're making up for it.

There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.
Not because its government doesn’t fix it —
but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.
That’s the part that sits wrong.

The jobs are necessary. It's a disaster.
But, honestly, if they really and truly weren't -- i.e., if there just isn't enough work for everybody to do -- isn't the obvious solution to shorten the workweek until there's enough?
