When the builder is also a diesel mechanic…
Yeah, even at that level we are still living paycheck to paycheck, with no money left to put into savings.
We’re really not a rich country. We just have a bunch of ultra wealthy people who skew the numbers to make us look rich.
The average family in my state makes a combined income of about $60,000 USD/year.

I fucking hate American healthcare.
Someone at my son’s pediatrician office let slip that his Covid/flu combo test would’ve only cost $50 if they wouldn’t have run it through insurance.
Naturally, I asked why they didn’t just call and tell me that before they ran it through insurance so I could have saved some money.
Her response was “because that would be defrauding the insurance company.”
I blew the fuck up on her. To this day, that bill for like $259 for a Covid/flu test hasn’t been paid.
Finally! A good use for AI image generators!

And this makes storms stronger. When cold dry air runs into a warm moist airmass, the warm mass rises and the water condenses into rain.
More water means more rain.
