Midwesterner here. Is this because of bad construction mixed with climate change causing stronger storms? I’ve been seeing much lower quality new construction up here and I’m curious if houses are just becoming total losses during storms instead of repairable.

They mention construction costs are partially to blame but I can’t believe that and shareholders are the only thing boosting it by that much.

This dude probably has so many skeletons in his closet. He probably got a few texts and noped the hell out.

People were scared. Layoffs were happening. Threats of layoffs were happening. At the beginning people were thankful to have steady income and some financial security.

Then corporations sold us on the “we’re all in this together” which bought some time until the yearly profits started coming out showing how much we weren’t all in it together.

People are finally at a breaking point. Either financially or socially. It’s not easy to risk it all. Especially when the corporations are willing to throw hundreds of millions of dollars at making sure you don’t succeed.

I have a 256GB “OS” SSD 1 TB SSD for games 2 TB HDD for longer term storage

My computer is pretty old. When I eventually upgrade I’ll do a 1TB nvme os and one for games with a 5TB hybrid storage I think.

Whatever is convenient for the exam and first pair of frames/lenses are covered by my insurance so I’ll do those at the exam place.

After that, Zenni.
