It's still a large amount but can be less than what's needed as far as family size, mortgage, car payments, health insurance (this is Buffalo so the US remember), property taxes, student loan/other debt etc etc. Discussions of salary can be asinine without the minutiae of what needs to be paid out of it and the amount.
Single person on 72k or even just a couple? Different from "I gotta support a family and do right by my kids."
And if someone has a more serious health condition? fuuu.

People just too damn scared of shit in this country. If someone stops in front of you it could be a myriad of road obstructions but sure just shoot a guy from the comfort of your car, like if you're that paranoid you could even drive off but nah, gun nuttery.

I went at least 15 yrs without seeing one, but was pretty healthy, that is until I almost died in 2021 from a non covid lung condition.
Gonna deal with more of that cause covid really wrecked some people's sense of smell and others are too polite.
If it wasn't for having a work related injury last month that I was forced to go to, it would be me.
I was raised to never go to the doctor for anything. Even though my dad worked for NASA and had top tier insurance. And then I didn't have insurance from 27-31. Still never go with it and I'm (remotely) healthy

Last time I saw a doc was about 10 years ago over my thalassemia.

Living in Queens now compared to growing up in Long Island feels like a whole different world.
Growing up I was made believe a car was necessary, you just can’t function without one. I drive my car maybe 3-4 times a month, I fill up $10 worth of gas and it lasts me a month. Everything is within a 15 minute walk that i need, or it’s a quick bus/subway ride away, and the bus or subway are within 5 minutes walking.
What I don’t get about why we won’t invest in non-car infrastructure is that it’s a win-win for everyone. People who don’t want to drive don’t have to, which means less cars on the road, and now maybe you can actually drive your car instead of taking 40 minutes to travel 5 miles.

It's cause of automaker and oil lobbyists. The answer to pretty much any question as to why we don't have something in America is cause of lobbyists, like how airlines make sure our railways suck, or we don't have healthcare cause of lobbying.
Profits and share holders > the greater good
It’s easy to blame it on lobbyists but people don’t want it. Everyone drives every day, I thought most people hated traffic but everyone’s solution to “fixing” traffic is adding another lane (by shutting down a portion or entirety of the existing road while it gets built, thereby creating more traffic)

People who don’t want to drive don’t have to, which means less cars on the road, and now maybe you can actually drive your car instead of taking 40 minutes to travel 5 miles.It's been incorporated into the American DNA since the post-WWII -- owning a car was a sign of freedom and individual expression and it also showcased upward mobility. We never invested in public transit infrastructure because the American ethos loves to put individual responsibility at your feet, and that includes commuting, healthcare, education, etc.
If you can't do that on your own, then that's your failure. Abdicating responsibility at the governmental level is a fundamental part of America.
We also hate the poor and poor people use buses and trains, so.
Think of it this way: the poorer you are the more likely you are to get a worse interest rate on pretty much everything because you are considered "high-risk" to pay it off. The more money you have the closer you can get to 0% interest (and as the last decade showed literally at 0%!). Think about how that gets instituted and by whom against the borrower.
Are you poor and can't afford a car because the 10-15% interest? Tough shit, get rich.

Oh and yes fuck Long Island commute. I love just close enough but thankfully far enough but the just close enough still gets me the worst of LI traffic in my area on the 495 or whenever I need to use the Cross Island or Grand Central Parkways.

Any other way and people wouldn’t want to be rich and everybody would be poor instead.
