Data Graham posted:Never fails to give me a headache that Trump's entire defensive approach to anything is "but Billy was pushing Jimmy around, that means you have to punish him if you punish me!!" To be fair, conservatism as an entire ideology is basically the philosophy of a particularly selfish, vindictive toddler.

jokes posted:A rich christian once told me the "camel in the eye of a needle" quote actually meant a camel from a caravan entering a city called The Eye of A Needle and they mistranslated it from a proper noun and it was actually quite easy for a camel to enter The Eye Of A Needle because camels are used by merchants to move goods so basically its saying that merchants are good and if you think about it merchants provide a lot of good in society and so it's virtuous to be in a merchant class particularly if you do a lot of business-- obviously today merchants are business owners so the saying as we've read it for 2000 years is actually completely wrong, they're saying that business owners are being fast-passed into heaven and if you do a lot of business your camels can very easily enter the city. Hell, they may even build you a door! The camel still had to be completely unloaded before it could go through the passage to the city which was jesus' whole loving point.

Every so often, when someone furls their brow at the behavior of christians and tries to rectify it with the stated goal of churches of being good or whatever I link a few sermons from the antebellum south and during the civil war to remind everyone that Jesus is whatever the ruling class wants him to be which means honestly Trump is a really good christian. doesnt read the bible and does whatever the hell he wants and gives tax cuts to rich people

butt dickus posted:where did 8% come from? are people really paying that? mine is 2.75% Yeah it's a direct result of the feds raising the interest rate. There's a lot of hokum about bond rates, etc. all going up because DEBT but it's really just that the feds raised their target rates. It's essentially the borrowing rate of banks, so if a bank can borrow at 0.5% and loan money at 2.75%, they're making money on that spread. Now with the fed rate at 5.5%, banks have to lend at much higher rates to make a profit. This brings down bond prices, and drives yields up, because institutions that buy bonds have to get a higher rate to cover their cost of capital to make it worth it to hold bonds. Theoretically home prices should come down in this environment, but nobody with a locked 2.75% rate wants to sell, because they would have to refinance into like an 8% rate. This has killed supply, and it's gonna take awhile to impact on housing prices without government intervention, which would be funding home building. This is unpopular usually because the haves don't want their property values to drop to make the market accessible to the have nots, so it's a hard sell politically to build tons of affordable housing because people suck. I'm not sold on increasing rates without other interventions to stop price gouging, increase supply of necessary items such as housing, etc. but the federal government's ability to intervene in markets has drastically gutted over 40 years of Reagonomics.

I've said this before, but if Biden, Letitia James, Jack Smith, and Fani Willis planned all this out from the Oval Office on Day 1 of his presidency I'd be loving proud. So long as the news doesn't break until Wednesday November 6th, 2024.

B-Rock452 posted:The camel still had to be completely unloaded before it could go through the passage to the city which was jesus' whole loving point. I'm not even sure it was that. From what I understand, there's no real evidence that there was such a gate called the eye of the needle, and Jesus was literally saying that it's easier to get an entire living, breathing camel through a needle than to get into heaven if you're a greedy gently caress who spends all his time focusing on accruing and hoarding wealth. The interpretation of it as a gate seems to be mainly a prosperity gospel thing. Edit: Did a little bit of fact-checking online. Couldn't find any proof of an Eye of the Needle gate, but there is a debate whether camel is a mistranslation of a Biblical Greek word that means "cord" or "thick rope" - which is basically still the same aforementioned meaning how it's more likely you'll be able to fit something enormous into the eye of a needle than to be a rich rear end in a top hat and get into heaven.

Jesus "turning over the tables" really meant that he too the multiplication tables they were using and turned them upside down. This was so that the effective tax rates were swapped from the terrible, immoral "progressive" tax structure to a good and moral structure where the rich didn't pay anywhere near as much as the poor.
