According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), 49% of adults between the ages of 55 and 66 had no personal retirement savings.

Influencers Take Over the DNC
BY LEAH FEIGER
At the 2024 Democratic National Convention, influencers boarded yachts, sipped “Midwest Margaritas,” and attended a “Hotties for Harris” event.
Why was an “emergency shipment” needed? Do they not have other foods to sustain them? Are the suffering from cucumber deficiency syndrome? It is Iceland…so maybe they are their last remaining heat source??? What’s the EMERGENCY????
Just one of the many reasons I hate the media. And I also refuse to use that other term to describe someone. The guys one the vherf influence me. Not some screwed up teenager with a camera
Nearly 1/3 of Companies Suffered a SaaS Data Breach in Last Year
"Thirty-one percent of organisations experienced a SaaS data breach in the last 12 months, a 5% increase over the previous year, a new report has found. This surge may be linked to inadequate visibility of the apps being deployed, including third-party connections to core SaaS platforms.
Nearly half of firms who use Microsoft 365 believe they have fewer than 10 applications connected to the platform, but the report’s aggregated data shows that the average number of connections is over a thousand. A third admitted that they don’t know how many SaaS apps are deployed in their organisation."

Gen Z’s typing proficiency is reportedly dwindling as young people adapt to touch screens, with keyboarding falling to the wayside — just like writing in cursive.
The Wall Street Journal reported that some high schoolers are more adept at typing on their iPads — with one 18-year-old writing an 8-page paper on one such device — or smartphones, rather than a traditional keyboard.

While he’s less concerned with the speed at which people type, he fears that the increased reliance on smart devices will degrade the way young people communicate.

Ability to write…with a keyboard? My iPad has a keyboard. So does the phone I’m typing on now.
I wonder what their argument is for it being better to type that paper on a typewriter or p.c. as compared to an iPad.

Not only do we have a huge influx of new vinyl Buyers but it looks like the majority of these new to vinyl consumers are listening to jazz and world music. Sounds exactly like the younger generation I know...... Well, maybe not. 🤣😂😅

“Larger, heavier and often more powerful electric vehicles not only require more resources to build — thereby increasing their environmental footprint — but also undermine the potential gains from electrification due to their greater energy consumption and associated emissions across the vehicle and fuel lifecycles,”
On another vehicle-related note, in Pennsylvania it costs 145% more to register a pickup truck than a car/SUV. Truck - $110/yr., Car - $45/yr.
I do not know the state's reasoning behind the difference.
ETA: What does vehicle registration cost in your state? And is it annual, or one-time?

The writer touches only briefly on the affect on roads of the increased weight of EVs relative to ICE vehicles (and only from the environmental perspective), especially the weight of large commercial vehicles. In most US states, liquid fuels taxes are the primary funding source for road construction and maintenance/repairs. These taxes have to be replaced somehow, as EV use increases.
I forget, mostly because I get mad when I think about it.
I think it's $145 total, but some of that is for my personalized plates (JC LIVZ - big fan of Johnny Cash ;-) ) and $60 is what they call a 'wheel tax' that goes to the county I live in; supposedly that 'wheel tax' is collected to repair roads, but I once asked a politician who was campaigning door-to-door here why the roads were still so sucky and he said the rules for that tax were written so the funds could be used for anything the gummint wanted, so the roads never saw any of the money.
Now you know why it makes me mad to think about it.
I need to be careful or I'll start sounding like @ShawnOL.
A percentage of the vehicle's assessed value based on MSRP. 10 percent depreciation subtracted per year. This year, it cost me about 1600 bucks to register my 2 cars.

Tito's is good, but not $1450 good...
At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
Yeah, but if you’re actually buying a luxury box for the Raiders…common sense may not be your strongest suit.

What are you talking about? You are the younger generation.
Now, get out there and buy a turntable and some alblums!
I was going to but the work van only has a USB port.
My cassettes, 8 tracks, reel to reel and albums are gone but I still have a decent turntable.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
I know for a fact you can find a turntable with a USB output
LA’s new arena is fully digitized
Facial recognition cameras are everywhere, and good luck buying anything without its official app. (The Atlantic $)

Car/pickup truck $60 every 2 years
Commercial trucks $40/1000 lbs
Every year
My truck is something like 175
And tahoe is about 100.
