  • There are tons of businesses near my work (next to a middle school and a high school) that have a posted no backpacks allowed rule on the door. Mostly because of shoplifting, and sometimes there is a pile of backpacks outside the door and a bunch of kids inside when school lets out. But there are probably many reasons they don’t want to carry a backpack when they don’t have to.



  • I’m genx, same both wife and I worked extra jobs during COVID, never worked from home. My boomer parents lived 100x better than me even during their "poor"years. Now retired, they still make quadruple what I do. I make less than I did 25 years ago, and that’s not even making adjustments for inflation. I also have no savings, can’t save when you can’t afford to live. This economy is fucked. We also lived through all of those market upheavals and also the one in the '90s. It’s been straight downhill since the boomers gen.














  • Biblically there was 2000 years between Jesus and Abraham, and another 2000 years between Abraham and Adam. Two thousand years after Jesus’ crucifixion is coming up within a handful of years. That’s six Biblical “days”, and God rested on the 7th day. There’s more to the timing people look to based on old prophecy but a lot of things line up for the next maybe fifty years. I’m no expert, but a lot of Christians believe this.



  • Christianity has a large user base but is unpopular. Jesus is the living God and through him is the only way to the Father. He didn’t come just to forgive us and get us into heaven, but for the kingdom of God to break into every area of life here and now - health, peace, justice and more. We won’t see the fullness until his return but he already came out of the grave once and he said he is coming back. Biblical timelines say we should expect him relatively soon.
