Politcal Memes, etc

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

63% of employees are unable to cover a $500 emergency expense, according to a new survey from SecureSave, a provider of a financial technology platform to help employers provide emergency savings benefits.

Things are a little better up north:
When asked whether their household had the resources to cover an unexpected expense of $500, 26% said that they would be unable to do so
LINK

Interesting to see how tariffs and other made-up problems help these people.

We seem to have lost the plot as a society when it comes to individual fiscal responsibility. Remember when you were starting out as a teenager or recent graduate? Or whenever you got your first job. You couldn't cover that $500 emergency expense. But if you saved your money responsibly you probably had that available a few months later. Now, a survey like this polls college students in a metro centre who have a part-time job and haven't been off the tit for more than a year. Makes one wonder, of those respondents, how many of them spend $150/month on coffee?

I'm not denying that there are people who would have a very hard time covering that $500 expense because of rising costs of living, but FFS, I know people who make barely more than minimum wage yet they are heading through Starbucks twice a day. They probably eat out (not the way Cuz does) at least once a day. Do the simple math.

A lot depends on who they're polling of course, but I've seen similar numbers for years.

I didn't have the Florida Panthers save democracy on my bucket list, but you know what, fuck it.
