The barbarians who run Texas killed this woman. It is that simple:

Data Points:

Federal Minimum Wage
1970 - $1.45
2023 - $7.25

Median Home Price (US)
1970 - $23k
2023 - $431k

In 1970, the down payment on a home (15% or $3,450) would take ~3,000 hours (after tax) or 1-1/2 years at FMW (40 hours a week).

In 2023, it would take ~10,790 FMW hours (after tax), or 5 years 3 months AND you'd never be able to afford the payments.

This is a good thing to remember when the older generations mock the younger for not building wealth as they did.

Hey TWiT fans who live in Wisconsin or near Green Bay - we are going to Lambeau Field for a game this year.

If we have a meet-up on Friday night in Green Bay, September 29th, at 6 pm - would you come say hi?

Please respond to this post if you will come. I am trying to get a headcount.

Fledgling #crow just a few hours out of the nest.

I’m gonna put it out there, because I also need this reminder:

Etsy typically gets 20% of an items end cost (inc shipping).

Check if the seller has their own site before making the sale. That way they’re just out the payment processing fee.
