@mtntallpaul @InfernalForged No, the guy was arguing about removing the ability to get a mortgage, and houses would be somehow cheaper, where regular people would presumably save and pay cash, in reality you just made a nation of renters because bigger entities would buy all the houses.
English

@flywheel2020 @InfernalForged This makes no sense.
If no one can afford to buy the house, how can they afford to rent it?
English

This is how mortgages have always worked.
Don't like it?
Save up the money to buy a house for cash.
Uzi@UziCryptoo
The average US mortgage is $250,000 at 7% over 30 years. Total repayment? $598,000. You borrow $250K and pay back $598K. $348,000 straight to the bank. For nothing. Then you pay to fix up the house. Stuff breaks. You pay insurance monthly. Property taxes every year. 3–6% in realtor fees when you sell. And we act like renting is throwing money away. There is a strong argument for renting.

@InfernalForged @mtntallpaul No, private equity would own the houses and everyone would rent
English

@flywheel2020 @mtntallpaul Your missing the point, if noone could afford 250k housing then noone could sell a house at that price thus the price would go down.

@BKJYK1287 @brandon_FST @c567l45 The crude is already accounted for and that's like 70% of the entire cost
English

@flywheel2020 @brandon_FST @c567l45 It does though. Cost of doing business is much higher if the dollar is weaker. Gas companies need to clear higher margins to make profits.
English

@InfernalForged @mtntallpaul So everyone would be renting then
English

@brandon_FST @c567l45 This wouldn't matter as you're still comparing the same dollars on each side of the equation, whatever their value.
English

@c567l45 They printed trillions of us dollars and devalued our currency?

@HazelAppleyard This is terrible lmao, it would be the ONLY way to earn money for life. Hope you're fully vested in the smith and wesson retirement plan before heading down that path..

@DieselBABE20 @brotherwasabi You'll never get fat eating steak and potatoes either. You physically can't consume enough calories that way. What you're describing is calorie density.
English

@brotherwasabi There’s a huge difference between natural sugar and fake processed sugar
I’ve never seen anyone in my life get fat eating too much fruit however, if they’re shoving a box of Krispy Kreme’s down your throat every day, they’re definitely fat.

@BigDickBarclay I use these for laying down multiple tubes of tub/shower adhesive in one go, gives a consistent bead, saves a lot of time, and leaves you with a more functional arm afterwards.
This is the only time I find myself using it though, it's pretty task specific.

@HPCSforgood @Coinvo The idea is to discourage possession because you can't tell if a given feather fell out naturally or not. Basically trying to kill any market that might exist for the feathers.
English

WOW: 🇺🇸 In the U.S, it's illegal to possess, take, or transport a single feather of a bald eagle.
This applies on private property or public land, even if the feather naturally fell off a bird, and it carries up to a $100,000 fine and 1 year in prison but repeat offenders are charged with Felony.

@modearndad @1ssve If they feel they need leverage over you it's a fake job anyway, probably a fake career field you've found yourself in.
English

@1ssve Anyone who can support themselves without a job is a threat to an employer who needs the check to be the anchor that holds you there. If you don’t need money then they don’t have leverage over you.
English

@russellbrunson This is bullshit, you aren't passing diesel emissions without computer control lol.
In fact even their marketing states, "Simple designs that eliminate unnecessary electronics, computers and sensors ."
Operational word being "unnecessary"

@LoganDobson I need to eat, I do not need to train the next AI model.

Imagine you run a 24 hour hamburger joint. You do pretty well. You sell 1000 burgers a week for $10 each, netting $5 on each. But almost all your money is made during “peak” hours when demand is highest — lunch, dinner. You net $5000 a week.
Then a big change. A 24 hour factory opens across the street. The workers at the factory don’t have a set lunch hour, so they just run out for burgers whenever they feel hungry, roughly evenly distributed throughout the day and night.
Burger demand surges — a little bit during those peak hours, but also at all hours of the night, mid-afternoon, early morning, all times you previously weren’t selling many burgers and your staff was mostly sitting around.
With the surge in demand, you’re now selling 2000 burgers a week. You cut the price to $8 per burger (to encourage more factory customers), so you now net $6000 per week. Demand went way up, but you cut prices and are making more revenue and profit.
At this point you might think I’ve told you a story about hamburgers. I’ve actually told you a story about data centers and electricity prices.

@LOCAL_GRAVEYARD @ICEgov Genetics, and it's why they're on the left.
English

@gumby4christ @FluorescentGrey Yeah, they should be putting more CO2 into the air shipping bottle of water around
English

@FluorescentGrey Definitely, and this one sucks. It's not even bottled drink; it's like a make-your-own Gatorade powder.

@SecondAmendment @JoshuaB97796944 "You know what it smells like, why didn't you smell it this time, or that time."
Literally no logical reason to expose yourself this way imo
English

@SecondAmendment @JoshuaB97796944 Like if it were me in your situation, I wouldn't even admit to knowing what burnt weed smelled like.
English

@SecondAmendment @JoshuaB97796944 I'd be concerned these types of posts could be used as evidence of your heightened awareness and only putting you in potential legal jeopardy in the future.
