Not one that would be completely accurate.

The best I've seen was a measure of underemployment, in which somebody wants more money/better work, is actively looking, but can't get it. It would have to be through random surveys and extrapolate up, rather than something they can get from the benefits office.

That's like claiming you have more bread by cutting the slices thinner.

Unemployment stats are typically useless for other reasons. For example, this is the definition of unemployed.

https://www.bls.gov/cps/definitions.htm#unemployed

In the Current Population Survey, people are classified as unemployed if they meet all of the following criteria:

• They were not employed during the survey reference week.
• They were available for work during the survey reference week, except for temporary illness.
• They made at least one specific, active effort to find a job during the 4-week period ending with the survey reference week (see active job search methods) OR they were temporarily laid off and expecting to be recalled to their job.

Done an hour of DoorDash or whatever? Homeless? Not unemployed. It's very much a meaningless stat and governments around the world game it all the time.

They've captured his weird lumpy face beautifully.

Gen Z can't afford £3k a year on insurance.

V, half of IV and Rogue One spark joy.

The rest, not so much.

Just see how much they claim to be worth when we finally get a wealth tax.

I think that's the fault of games rather than me.

A lot of games are the same generic open world bollocks and it's honestly just exhausting.

If only they'd carried on with that idea.

I had that with "I don't care about cookies" add-on.

I disabled it and then it blocked me for being from Europe. 🤷‍♂️

That's all well and good but I don't want you living in my garden.

I just check the orange juice I buy. Just generic supermarket branded. 45 calories per 100ml. Coca Cola is 42.

There are people are drinking several litres a day of this shit, on top of all the normal stuff they eat.

The problem is you need to be a couple to have a house.

In the 80s and even 90s the mother of the house probably didn't work. I know mine didn't. Now they have to. The prices have gone up to match this "new normal" because there simply aren't enough houses. Or at least not enough houses in the places people want to live.

The free markets have settled on the idea that a house should cost two incomes. The government needs to step in to build affordable homes and get them into the right hands. No landlords scoffing them all up.
