City leaders are slated to gather Wednesday afternoon at the Noe Valley Town Square to officially announce a “$1.7 Million state budget win” to build a toilet there, according to an online event schedule. The proposed facility would include just one toilet in a 150-foot space, according to a new report by San Francisco Chronicle columnist Heather Knight.
- Money collected by the state government as taxation and spent on a service for all is the least capitalist thing ever.Morning_star

- Usually they just pay people off.
I suppose giving people cancer wasn't enough, so they upped their game to brain damage.PhanLo - 4 trials... No commentOBBTKN

Super interesting insights into the actual money printers - the inks, machines and companies behind it all.
- I remember a wired article where they went deep into the SWIFT transaction system and the coders and infrastructure of it. Done by a very private enterprise.uan

- This graph makes no fucking sense.Morning_star
- ^ lol what exactly are you struggling to comprehend nowkingsteven
- AHAHAHA FML i was staring at it for minutes, should have read the notes first :Dsted
- Well there’s something lots of generations can agree on... baby boomers are the c@n!sdee-dubs
- @kingsteven. In 2019 Baby Boomers represent 56%, Gen x - 16%, Mill - 4%, Who owns the other 25%?Morning_star
- im a fuckin poor manmilfhunter
- these cohorts cover 1945 - 1997, so presumably 25% was owned by people who in 2019 were over the age of 74 and (to a lesser extent) under the age of 22kingsteven
- Agreed. Would you say that if you extrapolate the baby boomers back to 30yrs old that all generations would have a share of the national wealth that fell...Morning_star
- ...between 5-10%?Morning_star
- tbh, the median cohort age calculation would suggest its 3 separate charts. this is more accurately conveying the generational shift (rather than inequality)kingsteven
- i may re-do this if i get time from the stats without averaging for comparison, it'll be less meaningful but i guess thats what we want to see (numbers that addkingsteven
- up to 100) - for example the raw data shows 2019: 16% silent gen, 51% boomer, 26% genX, 7% millenial.kingsteven
- i also may just go to the pub... frivolous millennial that i amkingsteven
- Just go to the pub. As Gen Xer, i've been there since 11.Morning_star
- The percentage of wealth should really be rebased to account for the size of each generation. Boomers are a large cohort so you expect they account for more.monNom
- they dont... it's 76 million boomers (11 million dead by 2011) 65 million genX, 72 million millennials. now over half of the US population is millennial or genZkingsteven
- safe to say in 2019 boomers were the smallest group, even though maybe 20% of them had died as a group they're still accumulating wealth.kingsteven
