@Lilylilylily016 @GOP @realDonaldTrump It is estimated it would cost about 13 billion to place a guard at every school. For reference we have given Ukraine 112B. Illegals get about 42B. Maybe we should use money to protect our kids rather than others. Maybe start putting American kids first.

During the Biden administration, H-1B visa holders were buying houses with 97-100% financing. 97% would come from the FHA, with the rest coming from state first-time home buyer programs. Zero money down. Thanks to programs that were supposed to be helping low-income American families buy their own homes. FHA loans to non-permanent residents quickly grew to represent 6% of mortgage issuances. The percentage was undoubtedly higher in places like the DFW area, where H-1B visa holders are disproportionately concentrated. I don’t have anything against people in America on H-1B visas. I’ve said it before—and I’ll say it again—that I’ve found many of them to be great people on an individual level, and I wish them all nothing but the best. Individual immigrants—especially those here legally—are not at fault for flawed US immigration policy. But this might be the most radicalizing thing I’ve ever seen. Not only are American workers forced to compete for jobs, they’re also forced to compete in the housing market against people bringing 0-3% of a house’s cost to the closing table, versus the 10-20% most people have to pay. First, companies import mass numbers of H-1B visa holders, largely in "back office" white-collar fields like IT and accounting. This essentially imposes a lower ceiling on domestic wages in these job categories. Next, these workers—who are generally concentrated in certain geographic areas—create more demand for housing (especially in good school districts), driving up home prices and the cost of living. Then, to top it off, they don’t even have to save up money for a down payment. They can close on a $500k house with $0-15k plus a 97% FHA loan. Meanwhile, ordinary American families are forced to come to with $50-100k for the same down payment. I don’t care how you feel about Trump or what your preferred immigration policies are; there’s no defending this. It screws over hard-working American citizens several different ways over, and it’s yet another reason why I will always be glad Trump won and Kamala Harris lost in 2024.

We basically did NINJA loans again but this time with non-US citizens Many homebuilders, such as Bloomfield Homes in Celina, TX offered access to FHA loans for H-1B visa holders through their preferred lenders until May of 2025, when Trump had HUD shut these lending practices down Some of these FHA loans offered 100% financing through a combination of a standard FHA loan and access to State assisted first time homebuyer grants for the 3% downpayment Yes, you read that correctly, your tax dollars funded home-buying grants for non-US Citizens during the Biden administration Is it just a coincidence that home prices began falling at a rapid pace in Celina, TX almost immediately after Trump shut this program down? How many people bought a brand new home with zero money down at peak 2022-2024 pricing? You won’t see an impact at a national level, but you WILL see it in certain markets with a lot of H-1B tech workers and new construction

@thatchthoughts @texasrunnerDFW @RobertMSterling They aren't getting special access. They are getting the same access that citizens get and the government profits off the loans. It would be weird to only want the government to profit off citizens and instead of companies profit off non-citizens

Do you know how crazy it is, to like a game for 2 months, praise it and enjoy it, then beat the game and see a name of a person you don’t like in it and all a sudden it’s bad game and you go and leave negative reviews on it?

Slay the Spire 2 is facing backlash after players discovered Anita Sarkeesian listed as a consultant in the credits. Gamers are leaving negative Steam reviews, saying they regret buying the game and would not have purchased it if they knew. Some are requesting refunds while it is still in Early Access.

@BluSatire "The barbarians are only at the gate, not inside" Yeah they did already buy, but this is more to warn other studios. IDK how much she was part of it, but 1% is too much.

@ReaperII7 But they already supported , and she i fact did not destroy their hobby. Its contradictory. If they enjoyed the game before they even knew she was there then how much did she really take part in ?

@Big__TeeJ @Septic_Sauce You sell local or is there a good site to use that's not facebook marketplace? I have a 5080 because 90's were impossible to get at the time. I don't plan on selling anytime soon, but I'm curious. This was my 1st build so I've never sold anything used like this.

The biggest myth in PC building is that top-tier GPUs are a money pit. If you sell at the right time, the old card pays for the new one. Hell I haven't paid out of pocket since 2017 and have never paid more than $699 of my own cash for a GPU... Yet I've owned every flagship from the 5090, to the 4090, the 3080 Ti, and nearly almost every top end GPU going back to the GTX 780 in 2013!

@BiggLynch @MikeTheGod25 JB wants to be #1. He's going to leave, and we'll get way less back for him. Yeah, there's a risk with Giannis, but we've won 1 title in 10 years since JB was here. I'm not blaming him for all of it, but we cannot become the Heat 2.0 and never take a big swing.

CELTICS ☘️ BANNER 19
Even if he wanted to play this year, what about the other three seasons? No one is arguing that he isn't a better individual player, Adding him to this Celtics roster doesn't magically fix everything. You’re trading for more age and injury risk while the team’s flaws stay exactly the same. It’s a lateral move wrapped in a big name package.

Chris Mannix: Trading Jaylen Brown for Giannis? The Height of Insanity "On paper, Giannis is better, but Jaylen Brown is durable. You cannot say with certainty that Giannis, at 31 or 32 years old, is going to be healthy moving forward. I would not trade Jaylen Brown for anybody right now! I wouldn’t trade him for Giannis, and I wouldn't trade him for anyone else that is out there." Credit: SI’s Open Floor Podcast

@WeatherFell Genuinely confused as to how people find this stupid or invalidating. ''Achievements should be earned, that makes it an achievement''. This is true, and for people with disabilities that cannot play the game as intended can now ACHIEVE things as well, and it would feel earned

If you're curious about our stance: Achievements in Windswept unlock even if you're using assists - grinders will still grind without assists because they love challenges, I'm literally one of them.
