Romeo & Juliet laws exist for a reason. 3 years is a reasonable gap at that age (15 and 18. 16 and 19. 17 and 20).

I thought this theory had been disproven by an economic paper out of the University of Chicago. The tooth fairy has a dampening effect on inflation due to the slow increase in tooth prices over time.

Adolescence moves so fast and with great change. 1 year holds a lot of experience and mental development. A 16yo is in a vastly different headspace than an 18yo. Think about yourself at 15, and hanging out with 13 year olds. It's only 2 years but there's a ton of difference.

There was a man named Nelson Aldrich who was a buddy of john d rockafeller and when he died in 1915 it was disclosed his wealth upon death was around 90 million dollars. John, it is said, commented that “Nelson had us all fooled into thinking he was a truly rich man.”
So the wealthy didn’t consider 90 million as rich back in 1 9 1 5.

But 16 is the age of consent, and you can become married or emancipated at 16 as well as join the army in many places.

Well, yes, there's a legal aspect to it. Most states have some variation of a "within two years" clause for that reason.

Most states have a Romero and Juliet law that allows for this issue. If your boyfriend or girlfriend is about to turn 18 and you're 16 is usually OK. If you're 18 and or of school and you seek out a barely 16 year old who's still in school then that's an issue.

Thus demonstrating that if your economy is faltering it is better to inject money for the poorest to spend (getting it into circulation immediately) than to give tax cuts to megacorps to pretend that the value will trickle down into the economy.

Well, it's all about perspective. For some, the age gap might be a problem, while for others it's just another number! It all comes down to what works best for the two people involved and their comfort level with the situation.

And if the little asshole puts it in a pink ceramic piggy bank, you come back and reappropriate that shit to a kid in the lower quartile of the Marshmallow Test. Bitch don’t mess with my velocity of money equation.

Tell me about it. Oh, you need a root canal and a crown we won’t cover that it’ll be out of pocket for 3 grand. But we do cover pulling the tooth out. Then we don’t have to worry about that pesky tooth no more.

Giving money directly to kids is honestly a genius way to do a stimulus package because you know every one of them is gonna blow it at the toy store on some dumb shit

What if someone socially matures a little slower that others. Like an 18 year old who is less experienced sexually than a 16 or 17 year old.
