Well, if we actually did The Green New Deal, it would create a lot of jobs. Heck, there are more people working in solar now than in coal mines.

This is why we're so screwed. No one has money, everyone is in debt, and even if you want to spend money on an extravagance like eating out or a movie you can't. Sure, the most oblivious will, but not most people. So the businesses are pretty much hosed. My job appears to be secure, but I'm just paying down debt and sitting at home eating rice and beans or processed box meals because I'm so mentally exhausted by going to work every day I can't bother to go to the store to buy good stuff because the lines to even get into the store are too long to wait. I feel for the people who are stuck at home, but being an "essential" worker (I'm not essential, but apparently I am) is loving exhausting. It's just work and home, while walking past boarded up windows and everyone wearing masks and avoiding each other like I'm in a Sliders episode.

I don't see a way out of this.

Our shop makes a lot of auto parts and our biggest customer cut their orders by 3/4s and we're still doing overtime every week and none of us know why. We hear from the boss we're 5 months behind but shipping is working less hours because they're packing stuff for 8 months down the road. I don't know how secure my job is because both of my bosses have said I either "do nothing" or "don't do enough" yet I get the max pay raise every year. And when I'm out sick or on vacation nothing gets done in my area...so I've no idea what goes on in the supervisor's office. I do know my older boss was let go because he was a yes man, told the owner what he wanted to hear while everything was going to poo poo, and the newer one is always missing when you need him and loving up orders. How we stay in business is beyond me.

Yeah I get it. It's just we're all dying and the country is burning and he's going on, as best he can, to talk about the same old poo poo of jobs, save manufacturing and welders, blah blah blah. And you can tell he doesn't believe anything he is saying. Which is typical. Just depressing there are our choices.

Renters, and anybody born in a future generation, will not be able to afford a $15,000,000 starter home in 15 years. They will live in tent cities and Hondas.
This asset bubble is different than all of the others - it will never slow down, or pop. The gains are permanent."

2008 was a hella year.
I bought in 2008 and this seems somewhat true. I just moved a year ago and there's no way I'd be able to afford this place if the place I bought in 2008 didn't sell for enough to buy my last place in 2014, which then went up by 45% over 5 years. My buddy is about to buy a 2 bedroom house for 25% more than I paid for a 5 bedroom 6 years ago, same area.

Almost everyone who has a mortgage is overextended in the same manner.

Regular people are overextended to the tune of a regular person's wages, though. Maybe if I lose my job I might have a hard time paying the mortgage, but I can at least produce work that's worth the value of the mortgage, so I have the possibility of finding another job and turning it around. It's loving delicious hearing about real estate speculators who are up poo poo creek for more money than they could possibly earn doing honest work.

Isn't the entire "point" of AirBNB supposed to be like, making some extra money on the side from a spare room, or like, you're out of town/country? The gently caress do AirBNB "hosts" need any special consideration for besides "sucks you can't make an extra buck right now?"

Maybe 15 years ago? AirBNB or VRBO hosts now mostly seem to be run by property management firms that buy or lease properties and run them as lightly regulated hotels.

So, no, they absolutely don't need bonus compensation.

If you actually believe in climate change, your first response to "climate change is a hoax" is "no, it is not, it will make the Earth nearly inhospitable for future generations." To say "it's really about the great jobs we can get" is to adopt the reasoning Trump ascribes to China - "no, it's not a real concern, but by pretending it is, our economy benefits!"

"Case Closed"

The ability of conservatives to ascribe all power to BILLIONAIRE George Soros is impressive. The thinking goes no further than, "he's rich so therefore ... <insert evil thing you could do with unlimited money>". Like, sure he's rich but as far as billionaires go, he's down toward the bottom. The Koch brothers were what? 15x his wealth? Compared to a major bank or MIC prime integrator he's not even as well off as a moderately sized wholly owned subsidiary.
