This is true. My company has afternoons off in the summer (4.5 day work weeks). Basically they acknowledge that no one is doing anything after lunch on a Friday.
The same amount of actual work gets done. It’s actually more efficient because no one is coming up with useless meetings and busywork.
I feel this has to be pointed out to young people: it used to be possible to eat out every day, go to the movies, drink in a bar after work, see a live band on the weekend, and still buy a home and save for the future. This was possible in major cities around the country. This was taken from you.
It is not outrageous for single people living in a city to buy food outside the house. I believe prices have clearly skyrocketed because fewer people know how to make their own food. In the 50s everyone had grown up during the depression, so if something was even a little expensive you made it yourself.
P.S. Not only did many workplaces provide free or discounted cafeterias to eat in, they paid you during your lunch hour! That’s where the phrase " working 9:00 to 5:00" comes from.
“I moved out. Not because of the haunting though. But it was bothersome.”
Definitely something I could hear him saying. Why didn’t he just put down his Earl Grey, look up from his leatherbound book, and say, “You’re being quite bothersome!”? I think that would shut up anyone, ghost or not.

Charitable trusts have to be donated to charity. You can’t pull the money back out. It’s like giving it away that year.
Yeah, a ton of things can be a “charity”. You can donate the money to your friends at a church or a clubhouse for your friends and still have it be a “charity”.
His 19-year-old daughter remained stoic during her statement, telling Kelly about the positive impact her father has had on her life.“I am everything good that my father has done that you have not seen,” she said.
This doesn’t diminish his guilt. It just emphasizes his craziness. Hitler was a nice guy too: loved animals and nature, painted a bit, was nice to kids. It doesn’t excuse his crimes.
You just said that you like learning from other opinions. My opinion is that you should stop bugging people and leave people alone.
If this comment is unwanted, imagine how everyone else feels when you butt in with whatever questions you have.
You said hybrid doesn’t work if other people aren’t there at the same time. You not only want to be in the office, you admit that you want to force other people to be there too.
