Not true. The largest county in Florida, Miami-Dade, has had my child do school at home since March 2020. Only a tiny percentage of students are allowed in person even now.
My mother taught me young, "Watch how a guy treats his mother because that's how he'll treat his future wife." I've observed it to be true, as a grown woman. There is hope for those like you because there must be others who know this pearl of wisdom.
Because Republicans put more money back in the pockets of low wage workers with kids. Most people don't have the luxury of voting along idealistic lines, they vote based on finances out of necessity.
Low-wage workers with children were those most hurt by the Obama's ACA Mandate penalty tax, piled on top of not being able to afford health insurance. Republicans removed that ACA penalty plus doubled the child tax credit. People who afford health insurance are out of touch with this segment of people.
Most of these comments imply that the division is just ideological. I guess everyone here is so financially well off as to never having been too poor to afford health insurance but just above the cut off to get free health insurance. Families with kids and high living costs, and then being forced to pay over $2000 as penalty for not affording healthcare, it broke many spirits.
It was the ACA "Individual Responsibility Mandate" and it is the reason why all the hispanics in Florida without health insurance that I know, voted for Trump in 2016--because he said he'd get rid of that depressing $2000+ fine. Which he finally did.
Simple as that, and certainly not as idealistic as these comments imply. Those who don't see that did not have to pay that ACA "Individual Responsibility Mandate" while being poor in an expensive city.
A "new direction for divided US" would mean that these politicians stop pretending people vote idealistically versus based on finances. Reading these other comments, one would think all the brown Floridians who voted for Trump are white supremacists. I thought Hacker News was above that simplistic rhetoric.
"How do you make people buy in? You don’t. I speak only to the converted, and you should do the same."
Google has all kinds of activity tracking enabled by default on Android phones. I wonder what impact that has on mental health.
So this. They have no accountability. In Florida, a teacher can't be fired unless they break an actual law.
I know enough working class and poor people who hold this belief that I wouldn't call this a "luxury belief."
Edit: that point is less important now that the article's title has changed. The title was like: 30 million young adults moved back to their parents.

At first glance, I thought, "No, that's what broke the internet." Because I was thinking of all the spammy articles I find at the top of the search results.
But I see what you mean. People with useful insight should try to rank their personal/niche content. First page of Google Search used to show me articles from personal websites 10+ years ago, not anymore.
I agree. I think to create world-changing things, 3 things are needed:
1. Innovativeness or creativity.
2. Lack of neccessity to work to put a roof over your head, which frees the imagination.
3. Enough money to make it actually happen. This is the opportunity.
Many of us have #1, some also have #2. But 1 or 2 are not enough. You need all 3. Billionaires can have all 3.
People will always create things, but if you have more money than you know what to do with, and your mind is not worried about working to put a roof over your head, then your mind is free to imagine and build the next world-changing thing.
Capping the income would then also put a cap on innovation. This is not necessarily bad; many people think we could have enjoyed a few more decades before the creation of the smartphone.
>Florida have 60% more restaurant reservations
>Also note, those green states are a lot of the states that were most vehemently opposed to masks and lockdown- places like Florida and Louisiana.
You seem to be ignoring several things about the largest county in Florida, Miami-Dade County: indoor dining in any restaurant is forbidden since July, and ongoing. Masks are strictly required in public everywhere, even outdoors, and enforced with a $100 fine. And a strict countywide 10:00 pm curfew has been in place since July. And schools are not opening. All grade schools and colleges are online only.
Would like to see a study like this on teenagers in the USA.
Our calendar months do not coincide precisely with the actual celestial month. We are out of sync by a little bit of time (hence, Leap Year). This means that the Sun moves into a new zodiac sign approximately every month, anywhere between 19th and the 23rd of our month. That group of days is called a cusp, meaning the span of days in which the Sun may change sign. However, being born during those days does not automatically mean that you have two Sun signs. That is a common misconception. Birth charts are calculated using astronomical ephemerides that track the exact time of a Sun sign change for every year. If you were born between the 19th and 23rd of any month, you must check an ephemeris to see exactly where the Sun was at the time of your birth.
