Every day, some annoyance begs the question, “How is this still a thing?” From superfluous charges attached to normal transactions to absolutely predatory social media stars, there is a long list of norms that are way beyond their expiration date. So the new year is a good time to sit down and take stock. 

Someone asked the internet “What should die in 2024?” and folks shared all the things that need to remain in the past. So get comfortable as you read through, upvote your favorite examples, and share what you hope is going to finally die out this year in the comments section below.

    Fentanyl. I had an 18 year old niece who died from taking a pill she thought was a painkiller, but it was fentanyl and she was gone in 20 minutes. Her "friends" did nothing to help her. Nobody was charged for her death even though they knew who the drug dealer was.

    Talk to your kids about fentanyl! No family should have to go through this nightmare.

    It's not a scam, the majority of people just don't understand how the economy works.

    THIS inflation is absolutely a scam. Corporations are making record profits by using the excuse of supply chain issues that no longer exist.

    What we are experiencing now isn’t true inflation. It is price hiking by corporations to raise costs while not raising pay so they can make record profits. It FEELS like inflation, but the cause is entirely different. It is manufactured, deliberate and (for its creators) working.

    Yep. All one has to do is look at corporate "earnings" to know what is happening.

    Scam? Inflation is a concern when incomes and prices dont align. Best solution to inflation is high income through education.

    I don't understand how the economy works when currency is no longer backed by anything. It's basically us believing numbers in a computer and a dwindling amount of paper stiffened with rags as well as annoying coins.
