Racism against white people is still racism.
Racism against white people is still racism.
And what if the white people have all the money and all the best schools?
Certain german guy said the same, except he used “jews” instead of “white people”.
Stop thinking like him.
Never said we should. I said this isn’t going to change
You’re only worried about your own bottom line.
First, being worried about my own bottom line is my sacred right.
Second, moving money like this is very similar to the broken window fallacy. Wealth is wasted in the end
It’s not that they don’t want new homes, but that falling prices would impact them negatively. This is more nuanced. For everyone who has mortgage, falling price of their home can be a diesaster
Except this is wasteful. It just took 30k that otherwise would be spent on something else, and spent that on a car. Someone else lost 30k of sales.
Get the fuck outta here with your “fuck you I got mine” mentality
Where did you get that from?
Look, if you have better explanation of why housing is so increadibly expensive in US, compared to rest of the world, then be my guest
Real Estate and builders have a lot of lobbying money to keep their assets at high value.
This is probably why it didn’t happen, and why it won’t happen
Imagine other home owners who have 30y mortgage on them. They’ll be so happy their house drops in value.
It’s great that you own your house - but that’s your perspective.
If it was so easy, it would’ve happened a long time ago.
Government incentives don’t decrease price of anything. If you want to buy a car with price tag of 100k and your good friend pays 30k for you so you pay just 70k, that doesn’t make car any cheaper. It still costs 100k.
Same with housing.
I know I would be sweating if I were an investment organization that’s been buying up houses.
It’s the exact reason why she’s going to fail. This is a metric ton of current homeowners votes to be lost, and another metric ton of political enemies to be made.
No, I’m saying there will be no more supply than it is now. She ain’t building these homes
3 million homes
Not happening. She’s trying to win the votes by implying she can reduce prices of homes, but she knows this won’t happen. She lies into your faces
The satire flying left and right is legendary with that new twitter AI.
No seriously, “carches” isn’t even a word, and I can’t decrypt any sense out of that sentence
A ton of kids in poverty were not born into poverty
The topic is about 6k for newborns. I was giving you benefit of the doubt, but you seem to fail to process relevant information.
parents lost jobs or had health emergencies or parents who died
These are separate cases, that should be treated accordingly. The entire discussion is about subsidizing parents of newborns. My stance is simple: Parents who can’t afford child shouldn’t have a child, it’s basic 101 of parenthood planning. The lowering of cost of living could increase affordability of having child considerably.
The only good argument you’ve made here, is about imperfect birth control - this exists, but it’s a rare case. There are many cases when this is a result of negligence, rather than actual failure of anti conception measures.
they lost their job becsuse the business was also halted due to the disaster.
Losing a job isn’t something uncommon. The proper solution is to find a new job. This is ugly, and some support during the hard transition may be justified, but again single 6k benefit changes absolutely nothing
Blaming the parents casts a huge net and carches a lot of people who had shit come up in the 18 years between birth and adulthood.
I don’t understand what you’ve said here
Extreme poverty
People who have no job and no income at all, shouldn’t make children they can’t support - this is a horrible pathology 6k USD can’t possibly solve
Increasing the capital gains tax will squeeze out middle class a little bit more, but the richest people borrow against their assets instead of selling them. Interest is paid to banks, federal budget gets nothing.
But you won’t hear neither Harris nor Biden talking about fixing this loophole
