"Biden’s actual net worth is about $10 million, according to Forbes, which referred to him as “Middle-Class Joe” (though, in fairness, there’s nothing “middle class” about being worth $10 million)."

One of the things that struck me when I was studying political science in university was that "everyone considers themselves middle class" my professor exemplified this by saying he made $70,000 a year and considers himself middle-class while his brother-in-law made $700,000 a year and called himself middle class, and I knew my parents made $20,000 and considered themselves middle class. So it makes sense why every politician is always "worried" about the middle-class.

I have ADHD and I don't mentally prepare for anything, that's part of the issue.

I suspect the total mental illness isn't significantly changed since the 1950s now we are just more aware of it and seeking help. That's a good thing.

Oh come on, that's a little exaggeration. There is less chance of that now than when we were kids and the USSR was going to blow up the USA and vice versa.

That's good too! At least until he hits 13 or so.

 

I mean is that much more of an accomplishment if it's the only petrol sports car still sold in most the world?

Uhm, no because only the mentally ill wants to die, and most people don't want to kill anyone else

 

This article from 2017 happened to show up in a completely unrelated web query, but I was so interested I read it and loved it. A real reminder of how different it was when people used to actually send mail. Everything is so throw-away now with Twitter (et. al).
