Creepy Or Creative

He Wrecked His Car, Bro!
20-year-old influencer Jack Doherty crashed his new $200,000 sports car near Miami and was livestreaming at the time. His friend Michael was the one filming from the passenger seat. It shows Jack checking his phone while doing 70 MPH in his McLaren in the rain. They hit a barricade, and the car was totaled. There’s footage of the crash and then of random people pulling them from the car.
Of Note: He and his friend never stopped recording. Jack looks directly into the camera while people are pulling him out. He doesn’t thank any of them, only thinking about his car. Michael had blood streaming down his face, but Jack hands him a phone and says “film on that one, too.” Later he directs someone else to “make it look good”.
Jack could face charges for distracted driving. His 21st birthday is tomorrow. The streaming site Kick banned him.
Wanna Live The American Dream?
Has the “American dream” changed? And does this fit YOUR definition of what it is? An annual study by Investopedia found you now need to earn more than $4.4 MILLION in your life to achieve the “American dream.” If you work from 18 to 65, that’s an AVERAGE of around $100,000 a year, which is way more than most people make. But they say it’s achievable for couples with two incomes. It all depends on what your definition of the American dream is though. Here are the things they factored in to get $4.4 million.
1. Retirement: $1.6 million saved to retire comfortably.
2. Owning a home: $930,000 over the course of your life.
3. Raising two kids: $832,000.
4. Owning new cars: $811,000. Not just any car, but NEW ones.
5. Annual vacations: $179,000. But not everyone vacations every year.
6. A big wedding: $44,000.
7. Having pets: $37,000.
8. Paying for your own funeral: $8,500.
A Dirty New Health Trend
The latest health advice from TikTok is to start eating DIRT. (???) There’s even a term for people who do it . . . “crunchers.” They claim it can help with everything under the sun, from improving gut health to reducing wrinkles and curing acne. The idea is it’s loaded with all kinds of minerals that are good for you. But experts say it could be dangerous. First off, don’t just scoop some dirt out of your yard and chow down . . . that would be nuts. Normal dirt is often loaded with chemicals, rocks, and rusty nails. So you need to buy SPECIAL dirt called “biodynamic soil.” Most crunchers prefer it in the form of edible chunks of clay though. (Here’s a video.) Sites that sell it use flowery language, like saying it has a “medium hard crunch” and a “pleasant earthy taste.”

Congrats, Your Not Really Fired, But You Gotta Go
Companies are so passive aggressive now. A poll by the site Resume Builder found 38% of companies lay people off instead of firing them . . . just to avoid hurting people’s FEELINGS. 80% of bosses said their company has laid someone off in the past year when they could have fired them for cause. Sometimes it’s out of kindness, like to avoid hurt feelings or help out with severance. But the #1 reason they do it is more self-serving .
1. To maintain company morale. 62% of bosses cited it as a reason. So, we react better if we think our friend got laid off because the money just wasn’t there.
2. To avoid wrongful termination lawsuits. A close second at 59%.
3. To help the person out with a severance package, 54%. So, that one’s nice.
4. To avoid hurting their feelings, 38%. The old line, “You know I think you’re great. Corporate just gave me no choice.”
According to the poll, layoffs that aren’t REALLY layoffs are more common than you’d think. Half of the bosses polled said at least 75% of layoffs their company made in the past year weren’t really about cutting costs.
