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

Truth 😳🤬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).

Not a commentary, just tickled me... A protester in a go-kart bathtub. I applaud his ingenuity.

Dynamic Store PricingWe 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

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.

Gen Z has managed something no modern generation pulled off before. After more than a century of steady academic gains, test scores finally went the other direction. For the first time ever, a new generation is officially dumber than the previous one.
The data comes from neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath, who has spent years reviewing standardized testing results across age groups. “They’re the first generation in modern history to score lower on standardized academic tests than the one before it,” Horvath told the New York Post. The declines cut across attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function, and general IQ. That’s not just one weak spot. That’s the whole darn dashboard blinking at once.
The same decline appears outside the United States. Horvath told senators that across roughly 80 countries, academic performance drops after digital technology becomes widely embedded in classrooms. The timing alone raises serious questions about how learning environments affect cognitive development.
Now, this is awkward. Horvath said many young people remain highly confident in their intelligence despite lower measured performance. Confidence isn’t the issue. Confidence without correction stalls improvement.
This conversation feels uncomfortable because it doesn’t offer villains or easy fixes. Horvath summed it up bluntly during his testimony. “A sad fact our generation has to face is this: Our kids are less cognitively capable than we were at their age.” His recommendation focused on restraint, dialing back screens in schools, and restoring depth before the next generation is doomed.
