I think the lion at the Kilimanjaro Safari at Disney World is fake. I've never seen it move once.

How is it possible that flight MH370 has never been found, seven years later? This one is very odd. The last known location should have been easy to find yet a whole plane disappeared off the face of the Earth. You would think scientists and governments would be curious to know what happened to it or maybe they do know what happened, but didn't disclose to the public. My guess would be that it was an attempted terrorist attack by the people with fake passports, but to prevent the attack someone made the decision to shoot it out of the air.

Don’t know the details of this one. But if it disappears into the ocean it can be really hard to find. The shooting down reminds me of MH17. That commercial flight got shot down above Russia/Ukraine “by accident”.

The creepy part of the story is that the relatives of the people on the flight claimed that they could still see the status of whatever messaging apps they were using and it showed that they were online. They thought if the plane was destroyed or under water then it wouldn't have shown that.

Do you guys think we’re close to a breaking point when it comes to the huge gap between the small group of wealthy elite and regular or poor people? Over the last 40-50 years (especially the last 10-20 years) there has been this trend of squeezing the middle class and lower both financially and hierarchically. Corporations and politicians have really boosted themselves over the back of productive people. Technology brought wealth and lifted everyone’s standard of living. But more and more it seems like there’s overextending going on. Financial systems have gone corrupt and turned into a big bubble. Productive people are stressed out because they have to do more and more work within the same hours. Compensation can’t keep up because of inflation. There’s less and less focus on education and skills. Presenting yourself and pretending has been chosen over being knowledgeable, skilled and productive. Management culture has polluted the pond of productivity. But slowly we’re seeing cracks in the system. Healthcare is on its knees. Manufacturing and supplies are getting lower. Logistics are difficult. Prices of goods are rising.
On one hand I think it’s possible we could see it break soon and affect everyone. It could lead to restructuring and returning to what matters. On the other hand it could continue for many years because the lies and temptations are still powerful. Another threat is a large group of people getting brainwashed to play with the big boys and potentially become part of the elite. That doesn’t happen of course, but perhaps the separation continues and regular people will get thrown under the bus even more. That way we could end up with a largely divided population.

It’s hard to say. The rich will always be rich but our governments need to hold them more accountable for the wealth divide and, I don’t know, maybe TAX THEM. I can see a lot of revolution happening post covid. It’s already happening. Workplace strikes and walkouts across a bunch of industries. People are getting tired of being exploited. The next 5 years of so will be very interesting for the economy.

The next 5 years of so will be very interesting for the economy. The financial system has become way too complex. There’s too much room for manipulation and exploiting the system. Taxing is also a difficult one. If you blindly tax the rich, they will easily avoid it. Or in case of corporations: they will forward the bill to employees. I think the solution is in limiting personal benefits like salary caps and other rewards, like issuing shares as a reward. Or for example: the bonus of a CEO (if you want to give one) should be connected to employee and customer satisfaction instead of financial results. And yeah, I think there are a few promising signs recently. Corporations being desperate for workers is a good one. I hope appreciation for regular people will keep growing. But the big flaw is that people in charge often are the ones who want to avoid that at all cost.

What really happened to 32 year old actress Britney Murphy? Why did she die? Did her husband and mother have anything to do with it?

Is the housing crisis intentional? Do governments not want millennials and future generations to own anything for themselves?
A lot of millennials and some Gen X are hoping for a housing collapse that would cause the price of housing to dramatically drop in price. What if that never happens? Like all markets the housing market is driven by supply and demand. Demand for houses is high but supply is low. It doesn't help that companies like Blackrock are globally easily outbidding the average first time home buyer which is driving prices through the roof.
For a millennial to be able to own their own home they will either have had generational wealth or through inheritance or a random windfall. The average blue or white collar worker won't be able to afford it on their own or even with a partner ( if you have a partner - living in a multigenerational household can definitely put strain on a relationship). More than likely your baby boomer parents would have been able to take advantage of houses while the market was good and they could pass that down to you however if you have siblings you'll have to split that money and won't be able to afford your own property.
Rent is higher than a mortgage payment and is the equivalent of burning money. It ends up being more expensive to not own a home. There's a saying that it's more expensive to be poor and that definitely rings true in the housing market.
Now a brief change in topic - electric cars. In the United States there's a push to go all electric within the next few years. When it becomes a requirement to completely get rid of gas cars how will people be afford to be able to make that switch? Think about the recent college graduate that needs to get to work (he's probably working at a minimum wage job out of his field because an entry level job in his field requires 5 years of experience) He would usually take his dad's old 1980s car but because electric cars will be a requirement he won't be able to do that. The cost of the used electric car market will increase. Currently with gas cars you can see a massive increase in used cars due to the chip shortage so I can only imagine when electric cars are required.
Overall, millennials and future generations globally are going to be priced out of owning anything. A tiny shack in the middle of nowhere will cost millions of dollars in the near future. I can only speak specifically in regards to America in saying that between student loans, health insurance, and the never ending rent cycle I don't know how people can afford to live. Now with the whole food thing on top of all of that. I recently went to the grocery store and many of the aisles just had big empty bottles. I went to 4 grocery stores before I could find one pack of apple juice bottles.

I went to 4 grocery stores before I could find one pack of apple juice bottles. It’s the same in Europe. I think the main problem comes from our financial system. Governments add to the problem by not doing anything about it, only making it worse. I’m in a decent financial position, but even if I wanted to move, it’s tough. I live in one of the cheapest parts of the country. But it would take almost all my savings to get a decent mortgage. I’m currently living in a cheap rental place. If I would upgrade to a better rental place it would be double the rent and more than paying mortgage. Totally agree on electric cars. They’re expensive. And the people who will have a hard time affording one also lack the infrastructure to load their car. While rich people can easily afford it, live in a big house with solar panels and have a garage to load their car. At my work, they even made dedicated parking spots with loading poles for executives… Supermarkets are fine at the moment. But prices are rising. This could be a permanent raise again and cause huge inflation. I assume I personally will be fine in the future. But I feel sorry for younger working class people.

Governments not doing anything about it makes me think it's intentional. Governments could stop these big companies from buying up properties but they won't. They could also prevent foreign investors from purchasing. I read that rich Chinese investors bought a lot of property up in California and then they charge an arm,leg, and a kidney for rent. And then people either have to live with a ton of roommates, their parents, or in one of the many tent cities that California has. When you rent in your country do they go up in rent every year? I know someone that rents an apartment and they were going to increase her rent payments. To get around it she had to pack up her stuff in a uhaul truck then resign the contract, and then move her stuff back into the same apartment. The whole rent vs mortgage is definitely a rock and a hard place for most people. And wow the executives at your job having the charging stations is just a visual representation of the class divide.
