☆ Gen Z’s Housing Anguish

For years, we’ve been told that what you pay for housing shouldn’t exceed 30 percent of your monthly income. I knew that sticking to that maxim was getting harder for many people because housing costs have soared in the past few years, which I’ve written about as a reporter for The Times’s Real Estate section. Not very, especially for many Gen Z adults who have recently moved into their first homes and are early in their careers. My colleague Karen Hanley and I spoke with dozens of them across the country for a story that recently published about how they’re living with high housing costs. Most said they couldn’t imagine a future in which they owned a home; some even laughed at the prospect.

☆ Why a Mechanical Keyboard Will Make Yours Seem….Really Unsatisfying
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-07 | by ( Karen Han | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

PAPERBACK WRITERS Mechanical keyboards might seem intimidating, but their infinite customizability makes for a sublime typing experience. When I started working at home, I bought a “mechanical” keyboard, purely because it looked nicer. Somewhat accidentally, I have become a mechanical keyboard enthusiast. Mechanical keyboards are built differently: Each letter, number and symbol has individual springs and switches. Once you’ve tried it, typing with your old keyboard can feel a bit like sliding your fingers across a wet towel.

☆ West backs Nigeria's war on extremists, and backs off on human rights

“While respect for human rights is unquestionably a high priority, we have many other equities at stake,” McCulley wrote. He said the focus on human rights had sent relations between the two countries into the “lowest ebb” in his three years there. Nigeria’s human rights record wasn’t only a moral issue – it was a legal one. Working under these laws provided “openings to incentivise and institutionalise” human rights protections within the Nigerian military, the State Department said. The pact also noted that London and Abuja had agreed on an “enhanced human rights dialogue” to ensure compliance with international rights standards.

CNN —Republican Herschel Walker is getting a tax break intended only for a primary residence this year on his home in the Dallas, Texas, area, despite running for Senate in Georgia. Walker registered to vote in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2021 after living in Texas for two decades and voting infrequently. 11Alive News, a local Georgia station, first reported that Walker took the homestead exemption on his Texas home in 2020. The county tax office in Texas where Walker maintains his home confirmed the exemption. Homeowners in many states are able to apply for a tax exemption by declaring their home to be their primary residence and the exemption lowers their tax bill by removing part of their home’s value on paper.
