Yeah, I don’t understand why this is downvoted either… do people not think women’s rights are in jeopardy? I mean, if they don’t live in the US maybe nothing has changed in their world so this doesn’t impact them. Being American, Roe v Wade being overturned is terrifying to me.

Ikr! Like everything is 10x more expensive nowadays

Should higher! We need this to survive!

Yep. In china, everything you do once you set foot out of ur home is recorded.

Affordable home is a myth.

I am severely asthmatic and if I have to walk through some employee's cigarette smoke to enter a business, I turn around and take my business elsewhere. Not worth it.

YES PLEASE!

a 'stupid tax' if ever there was one.

Just stayed in this thing, - hotel they are calling it. Didn't have to take the garbage out, strip the room, pay a "cleaning" fee or feed anyone's cat. Hope they catch on.

Say that again... I got distracted at "Att..."

I disagree. I come on boardpanda on a regular basis and I find my faith in humanity restored regularly

Let me guess, this is in the US?

I still buy DVDs/BluRays. I like actually owning the thing and being able to reliably access it for the next 20-50 years. Only series and movies I've rewatched at least once and want to watch again though.

Without cash our society would be far worse off

My local op shop has two buildings, one is the usual cheap things and cheap clothes and the other is the higher end stuff like vintage clothes or collectibles. It works well.

I've heard they've installed a revolving door at #10 Downing 😉

And the amount in savings accounts

I have one. There's nothing in it, but I have one.

This is wrong. My savings account now earns more than my mortgage rate.

When you're a single low income family struggling to make ends meet and living paycheck to paycheck, you don't really have anything left to put in a saving account, unfortunately.

My savings account is on my desk in the form of change

A saving what? And what is "savings" anyway?

Can anyone afford one of those??

Savings accounts are an absolute joke. They don't offer a whole damn percent, let alone 3,4, or more to make it worth lending your money to the bank so they can make money off of your money. Most people are frankly too stupid to realize that 0.01% is not the same as 1.0%.

Why bother having one. It all goes to ever rising bills and rent.

Some banks in U.S have "free checking" but, open a savings account and try and get ur money and they literally FEE you to death! SO not worth having savings account if your not well enough along to not NEED the money for quite sometime and fee $ wouldn't b missed.

i managed it this year, being 43, to establish a savings account. :-D

Not yet. Quit keeping up with the jonses

Unless absolutely required, coming to office should be optional.

I live in a 24hr city, and I feel for those who work nights and struggle to do their shopping now.

Yup, Sitcoms are fading in general. Or are already completely gone. At least good ones. Maybe because you can't have dark-humored, sarcastic content anymore. Imagine "Married with Children" going on air nowadays. My favorite Sitcom...

Yup, with the new law in 2024 these are a thing of the past in the EU. USB-C for any brand. Not just Apple.

not in africa, we have too many unemployed people. We need job creation.

Nope, I think real menus are a hill many will choose to die on.
