Boomers are retiring and are at a point where they will be taking money out and not adding it into the system

Everyone is fighting for a bigger portion of a shrinking pie.

With the family destroyed, household formation and child rearing is low

Big ticket purchases are being done later in life than is traditionally expected

I agree with you on much of this.

Bring back patriarchy and it will help things

Damnit I developed a stye

fuckin' hate those.

The patriarchy won't save things.

It might help, though. You're right on that.

The risk is that there are too many men who wouldn't even know how to be a proper patriarch.

Since, really, a patriarch is a CEO.

@Jack Mehoff stye is such a pain .
Warm wet washcloths on eye all weekend to get it to open up

@Xychotic yes, a patriarch of a family has to have the final say.
Like the ceo, like a ships captain.
Our laws and western culture just does not support that anymore

No, it really doesn't.

Without that authority, no one should have that responsibility.

Can you imagine being the captain of a US Navy ship and being told, “ you have no actual authority over your sailors, but you shall be held accountable for all their actions and decisions.”

Time to enjoy that sweet pension

Stop touching my pianus

Yes, I can imagine that.

I can also imagine calling in a helicopter and noping tf out of there.

Penis Augustus Maximus !

@Xychotic yes I would just quit and go open my own business

The gladiator shout was for @Nawalter Jizney

Btw how do you feel about the receptorchem site

@Happy Humble Hermit Joker was fantastic. A character study into madness and depression.
I can’t believe the clown world movie critics called Arthur Fleck entitled. He is the least entitled character on screen I’ve seen in years

Pertaining to what we talked about the other day

Let me look

I just did a quick search yesterday it’s one of the UK sites I found

Well it has good reviews
I put two osterine into cart, on checkout it made VISA card available. That’s a good sign.

Sometimes they want bitcoin

I hear good things about Joker.

I may actually go watch it.

Joker was fantastic , deep and dark.

@_KATO_ ballsy, I thought you had a site you trusted

Phoenix did a Oscar worthy job acting that part. It did not need any Batman ties. It was a dark story with very real situations

hello
