a comforter is basically a thick blanket that you usually use a duvet (a pillowcase for you blanket if you will) with. sometimes this is collectively referred to as a just a duvet. the terminology is interchangeable i guess
blankets just a blanket
and i think the mattress on the floor only looks good if you have hardwood
or if you got tatami flooring

Another millennial article
A new report claims millennials are killing the canned tuna industry. Tuna sales are down 42% in the last three decades.

Most of the “millennials are killing...” stories are explained by the reality that people, who are about 30 years old today, have similar consumption patterns as 30 year olds two or three or four decades ago but they have less disposable income. This is, of course, a great condradiction within capitalism. Capitalists conspire to change economic and social arrangements, they succeed, real wages stagnate and decline and then industries which were structured to meet the demands of a large middle class, have declining sales.
The problem now is that younger adults are actually pretty reluctant to take on consumer debt and spend beyond their means. Capitalist apologists will say that wages are not low; instead, they claim, folks just spend too much money. In fact, most younger folks are taking the advice of the wannabe Dave Ramseys of the world. Money for daily meals out or lattes get used to pay down education debt, to pay the high rents (which exist in virtually any part of the country with a modicum of economic dynamism) or to build up some savings as a cushion against the inevitable chaos and potential loss of employment that comes from the capitalist boom and bust cycle.
So in short, businesses which were build on customers who had a middle class wage, will shrink or disappear when most people are getting paid poverty or near poverty wages.
With all that said, the canned tuna business is declining due to changing personal tastes and consumption habits (millennials, especially millennial men are more likely to know how to cook compared to their fathers so there are more options for a low cost, weeknight dinner than tuna fish sandwiches). There is also the fact that Asian and Latin American immigrants have built fairly cheap eateries which crowds out sandwich shops so there fewer sandwich shops which buy cans of tuna wholesale.
This is to say nothing of bad PR from increased knowledge of mercury in tuna and increased awareness of what tuna fishing does to dolphins.
Altogether, the decline in tuna sales would probably have happened even without wage stagnation.

Damn dude I never even thought about the taco spots and pho spots changing the economy.
That’s so true, I go get pho or alambres all the time when I don’t feel like cooking. You can eat there for cheaper than cooking at home.

I’m almost 40. It doesn’t take a lot to realize how expensive things are compared to the 80sand 90s.

Over-complication at it's finest.
Millennials don't want to live in the suburbs because we are not idiots and understand you can live in a city AND have all the things that our parents claimed were exclusive to cities. I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood that is safe with the best schools in the country and I am in a city.
Just so happens homes in these neighborhoods start at 400-500k for anything decent if you are in a top-50 market. Unattainable prices even for when our parents at our ages. If Millennials wanted to live in the burbs we could afford them, also happens that all the ****** restaurants are out in the burbs as well, nobody in their damn mind is going to Applebees unless its the only place for miles.
Couple that with marriage dwindling because all of our parents got divorced before we got to middle school and you have decreased purchasing power.
Yes student debt plays a factor, and yes the labor market is saturated but lets not pretend like millennial preferences aren't driving these shifts.

I'm way to metropolitan to give all up to live in the suburbs. I did it temporarily last year and was severely depressed. glad i'm out and living in a more city-pace lifestyle.
The suburbs are great if you like to raise a family, but man the isolation is what doesn't bode well with me which i probably will never do if i have a family.

the people I know that live in suburbs but work in the city don't even get to see their kids like that due to their lengthy and exhausting commutes.
Yeah, I have coworkers that commute four hours a day.

I had a job once where my commute was two hrs each way by subway. Parking situation out there was wack and it was more cost effective to take transit.
Luckily the next job I had applied for called me and offered me a position. Lasted 4 days at that place before I bounced. Half my day gone between work and commuting.
Never again man
