Newsom puts the brakes on CA high-speed rail boondoggle
I am pro mass transit but using the BART or Caltran as the example doesn't help as they are filthy and woefully inadequate in their scope.

I have too, and they are horrible. And yes, there are homeless on them all the time specifically the BART https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/how-dirty-is-bart-cleaning-crew-train-cars-station-13276134.php

Caltran and BART are infested with homeless people and drugs. They also only go North to South not East and West.

I'm An Alcoholic
This hits close to home. I started drinking late and really did it as part of work life then it moved into my social life. Over the years, I started drinking in more social situations. About 3 years ago, I switched to heavy drinking which meant let’s do vodka, because I can handle more and won’t be as hungover. My drinking then started earlier in the week then earlier in the day but not really impacting work, I thought. A coworker would make an off comment as a joke but nothing impacted my career progression as most coworkers were also heavy drinkers. Slowly, my drinking led to unintended 3 or 4 day weekends which I played off as being sick. Clearly, I drank those recovery days though. I thought I had a handle on it and was not a problem, because I would take two week breaks or do other moderation. Right after my break though I would go back to my black out drinking. I got to a point that I couldn’t moderate or take breaks. Had a bad few weeks and drank for 10 days straight not remembering almost any of it. Thankfully besides my ego and money for booze nothing was destroyed. I decided after that to admit that I am an alcoholic and wanted to go to AA. I definitely damaged many relationships in this process but hoping this journey is my way back.

Millennials want to retire by 61, but most have nothing saved
We live fairly frugally and as of right now don’t plan to have kids. I could see that changing hence same pay/ job for next 20 yrs. I’d assume that either I would make a run for a company that could give me equity or start my own company. I have a fairly senior role at a young age so could see either if I played my cards right or got lucky. I haven’t accounted for her income as of right now as she is trying to start her own company so burning through her savings on that effort.

Millennials want to retire by 61, but most have nothing saved
On retirement, I get a free 6% match. On saving, I was surprised when I got into the workforce as I taught to live below my means how little people save. I remember a gen Xer who was probably 8 plus years older than me that he lived paycheck to paycheck. Dude was single and no kids and we were in a higher compensated field. Without the girlfriend, I estimate conservatively that if I stay at my same role and pay that I could have $4m - $6m in retirement. I debate a lot with the girlfriend if it is enough to retire in ~20 years. She believes that we will need closer to $20m.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
When I worked for an F100 company in a mid-level role (eg strategy), I always had to meet with SVPs and EVPs. It was seen as rude to just send an invite to these guys so the polite way would be to request time in email to show respect. Them replying my calendar.....was seen as I’m flexible and more senior so just send an invite. I showed respect but needed by giving a heads up in email, and they put the onus on me to calendar.

Elizabeth Warren 2020
The dems really want a woman candidate. I bet it comes down to Kamala or Warren. Not sure if a black woman can win so need to keep Warren in the race.

Trump vs Beto
If too many hard left candidates, it will split the primary and dems will end up with another unlikeable centrist like Hillary.
