The number of older Americans living alone is on the rise. Nearly 16 million people aged 65 and older in the US lived solo in 2022, three times as many who lived alone in that age group in the 1960s. And as Baby Boomers age, that number is expected to grow even more, raising big questions about the country’s future.

I married a beautiful woman who was here on work visa. This is my 3rd marriage and I genuinely felt a connection when we first met. Fast forward now, she reuses all the containers to store stuff in pantry. Like she will use the empty yogurt jar to store raisins. I asked her to not use empty jars instead buy fresh new jars from...
If this is the kind of stuff that makes you yell at your wife, your marriage will never last. You need a new perspective on what is really important in life. When you die, are you gonna be thinking about jars you bought at a store or the person you chose to live your life with? Lighten up, Francis.

Where are the fucking insurance companies?! They should be screaming about forced birth legislation that causes tens of thousands of dollars in medical procedures they would otherwise not incur.
Eh, they are becoming so extreme that they are leaving some of their voters behind. They were supposed to win the house in a landslide and they barely hung on. They are losing special elections because their candidates are too extreme. Even the Supreme Court can’t stomach some of their gerrymandering on race. I don’t buy this.
