The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies)

"US consumers are feeling less optimistic about the economy for the first time this summer."

I'm willing to bet a good chunk of this is from people charging the hell out of their credit cards, and finally getting their bills with the rate hikes reflected on their statements.

According to many economists, for every $19 spent, $17 of this is put on credit. So meaning 90% of transactions is credit-based. So in the previous months when people were charging/spending money they don't have, now that the bill came due, this sticker shock is suddenly changing peoples' outlook on the economy.

Oh my God this sign in notification that keeps popping up is getting really annoying.

"The four US cities facing the biggest housing shortages."

Once again, take the media with a grain of salt. Severe housing shortages is coast to coast and nationwide. You may be seeing new housing developments, which is great, but this is only chipping away at the tip of the iceberg. You have close to 15 years worth of underbuilding since the housing crash, and it's not going to magically come back in an instant, as some media outlets like to portray.

Taking a cheat day from the cutting phase. Thanks to the kin folks at Costco, devoured 4 rotisserie chickens (minus the skin), a personal watermelon, and 1 gallon of water (to pee/sweat out the sodium).

You're saying humans didn't evolve on this planet?


Welcome back btw

In what sense? Define "evolve".

Do I believe that we have evolved technologically? Yes.
Do I believe that we have evolved to be lazy? Yes.
Do I believe that we have evolved intelligently? No.

COVID19 was artificial and man-made. Mother Nature may have indirectly provided the "tools" needed, but did not have a direct influence and was not made naturally.

And I suppose it's okay being back

Evolve as in the dictionary definition to develop characteristics through evolutionary processes. But what I really mean that Mother Nature (i.e. evolution) is running the show and has been since the beginning of the planet. Humans are where we are today because of genetic mutations over time. And Mother Nature made sure to have a backup plan in case we go too far. We'll either destroy the environment so we can't live in it (pollution, deforestation, virus, nuke etc...) or we'll alter the environment such that more and more catastrophic occurrences eventually wipe us from the planet. The other option is for humans to develop a symbiotic relationship with the earth. Not likely.
