Me too, I had money. Then, Trump imposed tariffs on China which made my stock take a dive, and the company I used to work for suffered, meaning fewer raises or bonuses. Not saying tariffs were 100% a bad idea, China was, and is still, stealing our tech (observed first hand while at that job), but that didn’t help with the economy.

Then we had covid, which didn’t help, and Trump definitely mismanaged that. Biden then took over and … also mismanaged, but the opposite way, causing inflation. Thankfully, they brought it back under control, where we are now.

Now I have a new job and more money is flowing. And honestly, most of this is neither president’s fault or merit, really, they just like to point fingers and take credits for stuff they didn’t do.

Does a bike helmet count?

And never mind that noise you heard

There are parts of the world where it is a function of age, or at least of the number of years you’ve been working, because the government will pay you a pension after you worked and paid taxes this many years.

Thank you for being a voice of reason among all the noise.

I have used Manjaro at work and on personal devices for maybe 10 years and it has served me well. When I got a new computer this year, I saw many recommending EndeavourOS instead, so I decided to use that instead. I don’t understand the controversy to be honest … endeavour is a-ok, but Manjaro was more stable imho, and if I have to do it again I might go back to Manjaro.
