    But doesn’t it say “Middle Class Income (SD): $70,513 - $211,560” so….. 70k is mid and 210k is mid….???

    How many classes does everybody think that they really are? In my mind there are three broad ones: impoverished, middle class, and wealthy. You can break the middle class into a couple of tears, such as poor working class/working class/upper middle class and then the top one into wealthy and Uber wealthy, but that's splitting hairs to me.

    If there are three classes, I can tell you that I'm not wealthy, and I can tell you that my family generates more than $210,000 in annual income

    Since Covid, there’s no chance that $70,000 annual income is making middle class in San Diego. Especially when considering average rent for apartments, condos and single-family dwelling. Not to mention, taking an account for food, medical, insurance, gas, etc., etc. I would venture to say somebody that’s making 70 K a year is living paycheck to paycheck and unfortunately, carrying credit card debt.

    Bottom line, San Diego is becoming outrageously expensive to live and pay taxes here. Sure wages are higher here than most. So is the taxes (all of them combined).

    Sounds like a good time to move out of San Diego to me.

    I have about five years to retirement. Not willing to start over building a business and new clients.

    No chance of time off for good behavior or early release?

    Nope 👎🏼

    We use electronic price tags so they can be automatically updated for sales and clearance pricing. It’s a lot easier to send out a Wi-Fi signal then pay somebody to track down that tag and change it. We for one do not use it for dynamic pricing.

    Also, this looks like it’s overseas. I don’t know any supermarket that I’ve ever been in that I’ve seen one stick of butter on the shelf. Windscreen and liters tipped it off.

    Good points, Peter. Thanks. Here is an article about them that mirrors your post except that they are already here in places like Walmart, Kroger, etc.

    Oh, yes the link

    “The health department noted that it could not definitively link the baby’s death to the raw milk the mother drank.”

    The point is the quote underneath the headline. The quote came directly from the article. They just used the headline for shock and awe. Listeria can be caused by everything from hotdogs to raw vegetables. They don’t have a clue how she got it.

    I'd say something about the article wanting to discredit RFK Jr. (some would say he's doing that on his own just fine), but then again, this isn't the political thread.
