Rent parties are back! Just without the jazz, and food, and booze, and community... But at least it's monetized for a tech CEO! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent_party
You should post that to the Wikipedia community.
Well at least we're great, again.
Buckle up fam. This is a nation of dimwitted dumbfucks. It's not going to get any better because we're too stupid to vote for it to get better.
Don't blame the voters. They're idiots who are struggling to make ends meet. Blame the people in power who manipulate vulnerable people into doing bad things. The solution to our problem is NOT more citizens without rights.
No, I will blame the voters.
Then you're a willing member of a country divided, and you let him win.
I refuse to blame a head of a hydra that we created.
Local offices, sure, but really you can blame the gerrymandering and electoral college. Voters just decide the popular vote, nothing more.
On my daily commute, I would normally pass 2 or 3 cars for sale parked out in people's front yards. Last I counted, that number was 12. More if I were to include other things suddenly for sale, like boats, bikes, and golf carts.
How are we the best country again?
How are we the best country again?
It's a lie that Americans have been telling themselves for a few centuries.
I don’t think we were ever literally the best country, those tend to be the nordics. I believe (and I guess I should do some research) that “the greatest country on earth” was a marketing slogan. Like the local coffee shop that says they have the best coffee in the country or something. It was a very successful marketing campaign considering it’s still being believed and discussed.
Ya but tell that to a MAGA. they'll lose their fucking mind.
Then tell them Trump has never won an election against a man.
Edit: ~~They~~ Then
Also, that he's the first president to be openly cucked. We all know his wife is getting it from someone else.
There really is no best, but maybe at some point we were among the best. Sure as shit not now though.
and you mr ceo, dint shut down donations for trump, or some of his followers.
Who are they getting money from? Other people who can't afford groceries? We're just all buying each other groceries that one of us can afford?
Likely situations where a person will be okay this month so they send another $20 or so and maybe a few months down the line, they are the one that needs a bit of help.
It's like the proverb, "it takes a village", only commoditized.
Sounds like socialism to me.
Maybe we need a bigger version, funded by those who won't miss the money.
Anybody else notice a lot of houses for sale recently? Some near me are on the market for a long time.
I used to drive by these two houses in a rural neighborhood which had huge “trump” signs in their front lawns for years.
Both houses recently replaced those signs with “for sale” signs.
I had to laugh.
A lot of those Trump signs have disappeared near me
Most of the southeast in the US is in an early housing market collapse. New homes cost less than used inventory, which is a horrible sign. Inventory and time on market are also creeping up.
Supposedly the real estate market is the worst it's been since 1995. I guess if you are on the buying side, it might be ok. Not sure if recent/upcoming rate cuts will start showing up in mortgage rates...
Hard to believe it's worse than 2008. BTW 1995 and 2008 are the years I've bought houses. Get ready for that dip!
Yes but they are still priced super high. Like everyone realized they could make money by selling their house then Trump wrecked the economy and now no one wants to buy. And, no one wants to lower the price of their home. We’re lucky if they aren’t getting bought up by giant corporations.
Thank goodness - it's so much better than it was under the (memory-hole version of) Biden's economy! Doesn't everyone else remember that total hellscape?
-- many "centrists", some "leftists" and every single Taco cult member, probably
Gosh I wonder what we could do about income inequality to fix this.
Would have been fun if he would have said that while at the World Economic Forum.
