@C_3C_3 And if you fight back the City will prosecute you. Are you getting it yet?

Want some truth? If this was a white man saying this about black people it would be running on loop on every news outlet. There would be marches. Politicians would be giving speeches. Celebs would be crying. But it’s not so it won’t. Sick.

@WallStreetApes More so…how do we know that these are “real” dollars being spent? You’re telling me a powerhouse like China can’t create, validate, and operate a bank for this very purpose?

American Estate mortgage loan agent has shocking data “78,000 homes were bought last year by foreigners — they're paying cash” - Total foreign buyer purchases: 78,100 existing homes (up 44% from the prior year) - Dollar volume: $56 billion (up 33.2%). - This represented about 1.9% of all U.S. existing-home sales - Nearly half (47%) paid all cash - 44% were non-resident (living abroad) - Top countries: China (15%, $13.7 B), Canada (14%), Mexico (8%), India (6%), UK (4%). - Top states/destinations: Florida (21%), California (15%), Texas (10%), New York (7%), Arizona (5%) He says it’s not just investment firms buying homes, it’s foreigners , “They're buying up all the homes, cash. It's also the foreigners. It's being allowed to happen How are early young couples, how are the middle class gonna compete in this kind of market with that? And these values are in areas that are $600,000, $700,000, $800,000.“

@JoshWalkos Leonard Cohen was a prophet.

This is incredibly well done.

@LostMyHats It’s intellectual laziness; same reason they can’t/won’t attempt to empathize with young people struggling under record breaking costs of living.

“What is Boomer Brain exactly? Boomer Brain is what happens when a man’s political framework was forged during the Cold War, hardened during the War on Terror, and then never updated after both collapsed under the weight of their own lies. The problem is not intelligence. The problem is a refusal to reprocess information because doing so would require admitting that the institutions they trusted failed them, the wars they supported were misguided, and the voices they listened to were often wrong. We all watched how the Intel agencies lied to Congress, lied to the public, and lied to the rest of us on Fox News. One would think that would have created an institutional skepticism among the people who call themselves patriots. Instead, it produced an awkward silence and then a return to regularly scheduled programming. Boomer Brain processed all those lies about NSA mass surveillance, WMDs, the Deep State’s coup of Donald Trump, the J6 set-up, the Covid death stats, the Covid vaccine roll-out, and Joe Biden not being a mental vegetable and concluded that all of those problems are over now because a Republican is President. And now, the men with Boomer Brain are back to support the Establishment to the death, galloping toward WWIII with full assurance that we’re not being lied to and our concerns have been taken to heart. When you consider that these people are the same demographic who still fall for Nigerian prince email scams and who respond to the car extended warranty notices they receive in the mail, this makes more sense. Nothing illustrates Boomer Binary Brain Syllogism more efficiently than the Israel question, because it is where the Cold War binary does its most aggressive work. The logic runs roughly like this:

(1) Israel is our greatest ally in all the wars we fight to help Israel. (2) Muslims are terrorists.

(3) Criticizing Israel is something Muslims do. 

(4) Liberals side with terrorists. 

(5) Therefore, criticizing Israel means you are functionally pro-terrorist, probably antisemitic, and definitely a liberal.

The entire chain of reasoning takes about four seconds, and it is impervious to evidence because it is not actually reasoning. It is sorting. Everything goes in the ally bucket or the enemy bucket, and once it is sorted, the case is closed. What this framework can’t process is the possibility that a patriotic American who loves his country, mistrusts its foreign entanglements, and has read his Eisenhower might look at the relationship between the United States government and a foreign state, note the extraordinary volume of lobbying power, the FARA exemptions, the billions in annual military aid, the conflicts of interest woven through American evangelical institutions, and conclude that some hard questions are warranted, without that conclusion meaning anything whatsoever about his feelings toward radical Islam. Boomer Brain cannot hold that thought, because the binary dissolves it. You either support Israel unreservedly or you are with the other team, and the other team, in the Boomer Brain cosmology, wears a head scarf.” Read more at Insight to Incite. Link in bio.

@JOpMCG3 @alphafox Brilliant logic. By that, cost of medical care and food are also what the market will bear. Can’t afford them, just drop dead!

@alphafox Home prices are exactly what the market will bear. Don't like the market move to another.

Home prices are criminal right now: 😒

@burrytracker If we get that number up to 51% are we winning?

@VladTheInflator Imagine buying a decent home for 3x your annual blue collar income and then looking down on anyone who can’t pony up a $200K down payment.

Boomers be like:

@PeterS1081419 @David_Charts2 @jonbrooks Bingo. The “houses are bigger” comments are daft - those same small homes are still there and are just as overpriced.

If housing prices had simply followed income growth since 1970, the average home today would be $138,000. So… what actually broke?

@TFTC21 Well said.

Joe Kent's wife Shannon was killed by an ISIS suicide bomb in Syria in 2019. She was a Navy cryptologist with JSOC, fluent in four languages, a mother of two. He buried her at Arlington. Then he spent 7 years turning his grief into a career fighting the wars that took her. This is a 20-year Green Beret. 11 combat tours. CIA paramilitary. The man Trump trusted to run the National Counterterrorism Center. He's not a pundit giving takes from a studio. He knows what a flag-draped coffin looks like up close. 170,000 people liked that post in two hours. 12 million saw it. But the number that matters is two. That's how many sons are growing up without their mother because of a war just like this one. When the person with the most skin in the game tells you it's wrong, you listen.

@smoove5241 @jonbrooks Not too worried…I have a long time; boomers don’t.

@RedRover1941 @jonbrooks Good luck finding that drop

HERE WE GO!! If it cracks 7% it will really slow as the marginal buyers get edged out. Great time to negotiate as inventory stacks. Negotiate rent Negotiate purchase price All of it.

@MagneticNorse Why are HOAs always run by dried out hags and guys with micro penises?

The absolute state of HOAs

@WallStreetApes @nickshirleyy I don’t think we can deny anymore that the US is a failed State.

🚨 Nick Shirley heads back to this old complex that contains OVER 15 different hospice companies in this one building He shows all the places have $100,000+ cars out front, they’re all wearing designer clothing. You can’t enroll any patients @nickshirleyy “It’s just is unbelievable the amount of money that these people are making and they're not even trying to hide it. Buying these luxury cars. Each and every single person's wearing some sort of designer clothing as well. And this building looks like it used to be some sort of old motel that has turned into some cash grab, money grab for hospices here” Word got out that I was inside of the plaza and all the fraudsters started hopping in their cars, leaving the scene” “It seems like this mafia right here is naming all of their companies after the word angel. - We have Angels of Valley Hospice - We have Angels of Haven - Angels of peace - Light of Angels (All fake hospices)” Over 15 hospice companies in this one complex

@UziCryptoo And the people telling you to relocate away from their overpriced neighborhood never made more than $50K/year. Infuriating.

“Just move somewhere cheaper.” So… Leave your family. Leave your job. Leave your life. To afford groceries. Great system.

@pnwguerrilla Or retarded.

I don’t think any of us expected the end times to be so fake and gay.

@Bitcoin_Teddy They’re printing US dollars faster than Monopoly money and you’re still referring to BTC as “imaginary internet money?” Just stop it.

Walking into my shitty job knowing my entire future depends on a bull run of imaginary internet money:

@PoliticalStacy Don’t be mean; the secret ingredient is actually retardation.

Ben Stiller’s soda has a special ingredient. Its AIDS.

@BrianAtlas Hoes gonna ho.

As representative for the male delegation, we can offer up a 6/10 guy who makes $90,000 in Bakersfield, California. He has a kayak. Final and maximum offer. This offer expires when you turn 30.

@Hedgeye Respectfully, fuck the housing market. Let it all crash.

Google search term “can’t sell house” hits new all-time high.

@EricSpracklen If people are fighting to buy into SI then god bless them…cause they’re gonna need it.

$800,000 for less than 1,000sqft THE HOUSING MARKET IS COOKED 🤣
