Go ahead and slant the CPI reports too you fucking stupid idiot. The only people that care about the fucking things are people on wall street. Most people shop for their own groceries and can see with their own two eyes that prices are increasing. All but the most devout of your cult members can tell you that you’re full of shit and inflation is still terrible.

Bought a lifetime Plex pass a few years ago so this doesn’t affect me. It’s honestly worth the cost especially over time.

Dude containers are often easier than running the underlying programs.

It’s a fine idea, but it’d be best implemented as an escrow account used to leverage the federal government into following the law.

Yes, a 50 year mortgage will drop your monthly payments by a significant margin (maybe 15ish percent) increasing affordability for the long term.

The actual numbers will likely not bear that out. Some back of the envelope math in this article and others has the payments dropping as little as $150 or $200 on a $2000 mortgage.

The problem is that rates for longer mortgages are naturally going to be higher as they are today. Most of the “gain” of stretching out the loan is eaten up by interest.

What does never seem to catch anyone’s eye though in general is…you can pay more than the minimum on your mortgage just like any other type of debt. If these products were available, I’d be slightly tempted to use one to lower my required monthly payments slightly while I saved up the principle to repay the loan in full.

I can’t imagine having a variable rate loan and then finding out due to the Fed raising rates that I know owe another couple hundred per month.

Mortgage products like this were in the causal mixture for the 2008 crisis. People could own three or four different homes, maximally leveraged, and then get ARMs on them. This house of cards “works” as long as the interest rate stays low and prices go up. Then there was a rate adjustment upwards and all hell broke loose.

Both Canada and the United Kingdom use FPTP voting and they have more than two viable parties that regularly win and hold seats.

Sure, but they also have prime ministers and parliaments, and are generally run differently from the United States which has had two main parties since its inception because that is what the system will produce.

The repubs should definitely nominate newsom over vance for president. He’d be a much better candidate than all of this maga crap.

It wasn’t in a good place when COVID hit.

COVID outcomes world-wide were basically worse depending upon the amount of corruption was in your government. I think the US is no exception to that and we had some of the worst outcomes in early COVID because we had the most government corruption.

Why the fuck would anyone use a guid as a hostname?

My favorite I’ve seen in the category was when they had hostnames that were basically the IP address decorated with some bullshit. Like yeeeeeeeeah, that totally makes fucking sense. 😆

No it isn’t. The government is shut down.

Who could possibly see this coming?!?

Oh well, I’m sure this guy that got away with everything will somehow face consequences when he does this next horrible thing.

The marches in my area were also like two hours long.

We need them to be all day events, and we need to start having speakers.

Your software still sucks

Some of his favorite comedians are stool humpers

Does he fuck kid couches though? Like there’s no way this guy doesn’t make love to a love seat.

Totally agree. Folks talking about health care is understandable to explain to the public, but the executive is just spending and “impounding” money any fucking way Trump wants right now and that runs counter to the constitutional order.

It may be an unpopular position if Repubs eventually cave on health care (at least on paper) but I think the Democrats should hold out for some type of actionable promise from the executive to return to the constitutional order, or force Repubs to nuke the filibuster and completely own this pile of shit.

What good is a budget if the executive can use it as toilet paper?

They aren’t “doing nothing”. They’re collecting the profits.
