Here’s today’s Family Circus, in its entirety. There’s no joke, or attempt at a joke, or anything, just Billy screaming as his brother to fuck off. It’s great.

What if Millennials’ aversion to car-buying isn’t a temporary side effect of the recession, but part of a permanent generational shift in tastes and spending habits? It’s a question that applies not only to cars, but to several other traditional categories of big spending—most notably, housing. And its answer has large implications for the future shape of the economy—and for the speed of recovery.

It’s safe to say that a decent number of Tumblr users are a part of the Millennial generation. So, tell us: Do you own a car or house? If not, why?

IT’S BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO DISPOSABLE INCOME YOU THUNDERING IDIOTS. Fucking preference has nothing to do with it. 50% of college graduates have no job! They all have the most student loan debt ever! What are you asking this question for?!

Also: housing is a good bit more expensive now.

My parents got a 15-year mortgage on a new house in the mid-70s. The house was $32,000. Average home price in that area now? $190,000.

So, home prices went up. Food prices went up. Health care prices went WAY UP. Rent prices went up. Higher education went up so damn high that some of us forgo that all together. Energy prices went up. Car prices went up.

Prices of prices went up.

We also pay cell phone bills, internet bills, data plans, text plans, online subscriptions, cable/satellite tv, netflix, DVR subscriptions — bills that didn’t even exist 30-40 years ago. We also use computers and smartphones and microwaves and other consumer electronics that didn’t exist 20-50 years ago.

We need medications and doctors and contact lenses and tampons and maxi pads and other things that cost money just to be alive and keep us healthy.

Most of us can’t afford to:

  1. Get married and have a “Traditional” big wedding
  2. Buy a house
  3. Buy a new car
  4. PLAN to have children
  5. Take two, consecutive weeks of vacation.

Jobs that paid 50k in the late 1990s now pay between 30-35. Interest rates that favor consumers have gone down.

So I say, no. We are not choosing not to buy homes. We’re not choosing to take the bus in cities where there’s no good public transit. WE ARE NOT CHOOSING TO LIVE WHAT SOCIETY DEEMS AS AN UNDESIRABLE LIFESTYLE.

Don’t even get me started on the fact that these two people in the picture are young white hipsters. Young black and brown folks have been forgoing homeownership and buying new cars for decades, this shit isn’t new, pal. You’re just acting like this shit is new because it’s hitting white folks.

anyway, my point is: We are fucking broke.

CREATIVE PEOPLE: fly while wearing fedoras

ORDINARY PEOPLE: watch that newfandangled Tele Vision Programing like BRAINLESS SHEEPLE DRONES

CREATIVE PEOPLE: read BOOKS, REMEMBER THOSE, MILLENIALS??? Also while wearing their fedora indoors. It just never comes off I guess. Okay.

ORDINARY PEOPLE: sad that their mean asshole sexy boss isn’t a witch and hogs all the glasses

- Anthony Bourdain burns on Henry Kissinger.

Bourdain fucked up bad sometimes but he took his cultural role as a TV host of shows ostensibly about the vicarious enjoyment of lavish vacations and tourism advertising and tried to make it about something else: Empathy. Beyond exploring culture and food Bourdain wanted his audience to connect with the people he interviewed and see the humanity of his subjects. In this spirit he highlighted the parts of America that Americans like to neglect, places like Koreatown in L.A., border towns, and rust belt cities like Cleveland, Baltimore, and Detroit. This ethic held true for his international coverage, with an emphasis on Southeast Asia and North Africa. His 2006 Beirut episode during Israel’s bombing of Lebanon might seem like tepid mealy-mouthed both-sidesism now, but five years into the war on terror even suggesting that we should feel some sympathy for the victims of a U.S. supported bombing campaign felt radical. He changed American culture, maybe for the worse depending on how highly you regard the deluge of Buzzfeed and Thrillist videos targeted at millennials seeking Authentic and Meaningful Experiences. But what he tried to do, and in some cases succeeded, was share the human throughline of our species’ cultures and lived experiences. I think that is worth remembering, especially coming from some fucking celebrity chef.

What???? It’s not??? Especially if you bundle up properly??? Cold is when the streets have turned to ice and it’s negative 30 with a negative 20 wind chill. And it’s the only way school says you can stay home.

a form that is derived from a verb but that functions as a noun, in English ending in -ing, e.g., asking in do you mind my asking you?.

Members of Congress,

My name is Africa Murphy. I am messaging you all to say that I OPPOSE the repeal of net neutrality. This repeal is illegal according to our American rights.

A cheerful hero, abundant with righteousness. Arash often smiles at and encourages people. During peaceful times, he is a man filled with tolerance and kindness, and yet, he is extremely calm during times of battle. Although he is endowed with a composed character sufficient enough to instantly and meticulously calculate the trajectory of his bow and all his arrows and shoot a countless number of them at the battlefield, there are not many cases for this person to display that face to others. A man who does what must be done at a time where it needs to be done. There is no hesitation. There is no distress. No matter what kind of era/place it is, he will surely accept the wishes of everybody who desires peace.[1]

Arash does not double-deal with anybody. Particularly, he is frank from the beginning in regards to his Master. It is improbable for him to betray his Master because, rather than loyalty, he equates him or her as a partner that should be trusted. When talking to someone really close to him, he always keeps a sense of distance to a degree so he does not hit something sensitive and come off as discourteous and impolite.[1]

Arash holds no wish to make on the Holy Grail. He lives as a “hero” to save innocent people, and nothing about him will change from the time when he was alive.[1] Even now, he has not forgotten: how he once lived as a hero who saved the people, how he once waged everything for the sake of the people
