Really?!?! I had no idea.

You know what drives me nuts? People who post Youtube links without even bothering to add the title of the video. I ain’t clickin’ on that shit bro
Even many poor, working class people of that age own their homes after all.
It’s not JUST that houses were cheaper. It’s also that they’ve had the >= 30 years of working to pay off their mortgage.
So I’m gonna push back on this notion that quality boots that last a long time are even close to this price.
Red Wings are typically $180-270. I have a friend who does resoles and charges around $100-120. I’ve heard folks get their boots resoled every 2-3 years or so. Don’t know if that’s typical. So assuming a “lifetime” is 20 years and you resole 5 times in that period, you are looking at around $200+$500 minimum, not even accounting for inflation. Big difference.
I’ve never owned Red Wings - I will check them out but I note they do not make chelsea/chukka steel toe work boots in appropriate sizes. I wear Blundstone 990s because they are unisex, not too expensive and are pretty bomb proof.
They cannot be resoled but I find since I wear them for work I wear the sole and leather at about the same rate anyway and they typically will last me 3-4 years.
tl;dr I don’t think $100 “lifetime” boots exist, even behind magical mirrors.
Where can I get these lifetime boots for $100?
You sound like someone who doesn’t really have a point but needs to argue for the sake of arguing. Maybe you can yell at yourself in a mirror - I’m sure it will be more entertaining.
Edit: And to be clear… I wrote something in my prior comment that most people would interpret as wrong without some qualification or context. I decided to leave it partly out of laziness and partly to see if you would catch it and how. But instead of digging in you are just being confrontational.
Indeed. And worse, wealthy get a discount on everything - an obvious example being that f you have lots of money you don’t need to get a car loan or even a mortgage. More likely you are the one, indirectly, making the loans and earning interest for the huge effort you expended being wealthy.
Low prices AND low value. The cheap ass shit they sell is intended to break and be replaced as quickly as possible. E.g. cheap clothes that wear out quickly. Those who can’t afford better are thus trapped in a cycle of repeat buying.
Until it doesn’t.
What doesn’t kill you mutates and tries again.
Oh I’m not saying don’t do it. We want them to be incapable of doing anything effectively, obviously. Plus the entertainment factor of watching Trump get all defensive about it cannot be denied.
But Trump is unstable. I’m convinced if backed into a corner he will attempt do some wildly stupid and dangerous things… just hoping those around him will keep that in check.
Is that drool on his chin?
Or it’s more damage as Trump flails around angrily like the baby who didn’t get it’s num nums.
Edit: Seems like some of you didn’t get your num nums today either.
That is pure conjecture. And I thought the main reasons for a smart panel were things like energy monitoring, solar integration and optimizing charging of EVs.
I’ve yet to find any actual data on typical residential area line capacity - I don’t know the right questions to ask. So when you say “it’s likely true” what evidence are you basing this on? Did your power company actually tell you that they didn’t have capacity for “the last few on the list”?
Most average residential streets probably dont have enough power to charge an EV on every address simultaneously.

I’m not saying you are wrong, but this sounds very much like a statement made definitively because it sounds like it might be true but has no particular basis in fact. I’d like to know if you have those facts.
It wasn’t in the article or anything the article referenced. I had to dig for it. And yeah, not surprising at all.
The fact that the polling outfit is used primarily by Republican organizations is suspect, IMO.
