How about going to/r/space and being shadow banned for unpopular (but backed up with numbers) opinion because you happen to have worked on rockets and you end up arguing with a 6th grader who watched star trek and played Kerbal space program.
It's far from the subsistence living of 100 years ago. For a couple hundred dollars, I can buy everything from ebay to enjoy a modern comfortable life and for a couple hundred more, set up a large in home entertainment center, bigger than an entire NY apartment. $7k will buy me 8kw/240v solar power.
There was a a story posted on/. (for some reason) a few years back, that sending all youths in poor neighborhoods to psychologist for behavior modification therapy had a 30 to 1 ROIin terms of outcomes. Things like don't stab somebody if they bump into you in a hall or burn their house down if they din't have the right type of shoes.
On my cross country trip this year,I noticed this was the norm for all rest stops on the eastern side of the US. I'm used to a dog run, picnic area and bathroom.All of the eastern rest stops were like mall food courts with a gas station. One even had a perfume shop(?!!) Who knew there was such a thing as a perfume store. And at a car rest stop? Actually, alI I could think was how horrible it would have to be to work there (but the guy owned it, so I guess he knew what he was getting into).
I knew a person with a high paying job who lived in a car. Until they quit one day in their 30's, bought a house with cash and never went back to work.
The 80's were fun and a lot less negativity - except for the whole cold war thing. Although people seem to be down with starting that up again. Seems very watered down and a half hearted attempt. And NK, please. Not the same thing as the largest country on earth pointing 50,000 ICBMs at each other
If you drop three marbles off a building in 1 second intervals, the gap between marble 1 and 2 will always grow faster than the gap between marbles 2 and 3. And the distance between the marbles will continue to accelerate. Now apply this to a growing economy. No matter how large the gap gets, the marbles will still hit the ground exactly 1 second apart.

It's deeper and far more complex than that. Jonathan Haidt: The moral roots of liberals and conservatives

Where is the slashdot rage about being able to hack and repair your own stuff?
There's more to tech than computer, software and the internet.
They had to stop teaching history before critical thinking.
I did a three day Amtrak trip last year. It was anything but comfortable. If I do i again, I'll save up for a sleeper car.
How'd you like the Corinthian leather?

No, shared housing is a great way to save money. And learn to live with other people.
