Curious how dems always scream about how we must vote, yet studiously ensure they're never in a situation where they can vote. What do they know about voting that we don't? Has a study on potential side effects ever been conducted?

their secret research must tell them that the most they can do is urge you to vote in a general sense - telling people which way to vote or to specifically vote for dems must have some catastrophic consequence only they know about

this also explains their hatred at anyone who chooses not to vote. how can you not think we’re the smarter ones, we said all those nice eloquent things

lol they get so mad when you tell them you voted third party

what do you mean, you just said to go vote, so i voted for nader since his positions were closest to my views, didn't your civics class teach you to do that?

I don’t get why they don’t just split the difference and reduce interest to zero. That helps borrowers immensely and undercuts any moral hazard arguments against outright forgiveness.

doesn't the government already own like 85% of the student loans already and would be able to unilaterally do this with an EO or something

Speaking of worse, Roe vs. Wade stands to be overturned roughly four months from now, and from what I can tell, Biden’s only move to prevent this calamity has been a sternly worded statement that Brett Kavanaugh will crumple up and toss into a barbecue pit. Saudi Arabia, home to Osama bin Laden and the majority of the 9/11 hijackers, is about to jack up the price of oil across the world, despite Biden’s pleading for them not to. Republicans wanna put a lock on every uterus, shred every mail-in voting ballot and throw every book about slavery into a blast furnace, and they’re succeeding. Right now. Despite having no executive power of any kind. All of Biden’s adversaries have counted on him proving weak and helpless, and they’ve been right in doing so.

I know people gett annoyed with housing chat but I bought a very modest house in 2016 for 130k. it was appraised last year for 180k. 220k this year. that's 30% for what I paid in 1 year lol

I don't say that to brag or anything it's just goddamned asinine how much housing is appreciating. I don't see how this isn't a bubble. I haven't made 90k in improvements to the house. I mean yeah I've taken care of it and fixed some stuff but lol home values are completely untethered to anything. and it's not like I could sell it and use the money to buy something better because every other house on the market is overpriced too so the only thing exploding home prices do for me is make me pay more in taxes on it. which would be great if it meant they paid teachers more and poo poo but IDK where the hell the money goes

we bought right before the pandemic shut everything down and now zillow says it's increased by over $350k since then, lol california

lmao goddamn

my old rear end neighbor passed away a month or so ago, his kids are cleaning out his house, which I assume they plan to sell. I wonder who will buy it. This is definitely a working class kind of neighborhood, most of the houses are 2-3 bedroom 1-2 bath ranches built in the 50s. It'd be nice to see a family buy it but I gotta think most people are priced out, so I assume it will be a rental company.

I'm willing to bet in 10 years I'll be one of the few people still owning on my block.

the retired lady we bought from told us that we weren't the highest bid, apparently we came in 3rd but our cringy letter of Our New Family pushed us to the top over all the institutional investors for her

this is our first house and it's kinda wild how this neighborhood's turnover is going, we've already had three new families move in on our little street alone since we did, and one of our immediate neighbors just had their kids spend the last three weekends cleaning out what appears to be all of their stuff so it looks like #4 is on the way, all the old folks appear to have decided it's time to be gettin the hell outta here

all the other streets around here seem to have the same story, but with way more redfin purchases. i saw a three bedroom a block over go for about $420/sqft last summer - we paid closer to $250/sqft, poo poo is bananas and i don't see how it's sustainable. we already wouldn't have been able to afford this place if we'd waited even 4 months

they're forcing us back for twice a week despite several internal polls they released saying that no one wants this and we're more effective remotely working, and they're explicitly stating that it's based on the president's forcing all the federal workers back and the CDC saying everything's ok so no masks too
