@sweetamy999@unusual_whales The CARES spending bill was Mitch McConnell’s. He is the head of the republican party. And it was signed into law by Trump.
3 years ago, the average 30-year mortgage rate was 2.98%, per Charlie Bilello. The median existing home price in the US was $294,000 .
Currently, the 30-year mortgage rate is 6.78% and the median home price is $410,000.
@sweetamy999@unusual_whales This is capitalism. The blue flavor or red flavor. It does not matter. It’s all been Reaganomics since 1981. Thomas Friedmanism. Biden isn’t capable of fucking anyone this hard. He’s hardly able to stand, or finish a sentence. You give him way too much credit.
No American should have co-pays for medicine or healthcare services they need. Period. This should be what Democrats stand for in 2024 given outrageous healthcare costs. It means Medicare for All.
In which Joe Biden ghoulishly insists on taking credit for the PATRIOT Act. He wrote it, he introduced it, and he ultimately got it passed.
Of course, who knows what's real with this clown, but just the fact that he *wants* the credit should creep everyone out.

@ImpunityCity@JoshuaPHilll@groovee_666 I’d call it a win. NYC secured huge funding from NM, as they were going bankrupt, to help us build out Hudson Yards.
@ImpunityCity@JoshuaPHilll@groovee_666 NM is a Dallas-Based bankrupt super-high-end department store. They tried to expand into NYC for the 1st time in their history during an era of fast fashion and the collapse of Lord&Taylor. That was a terrible expansion plan doomed to fail from the beginning.
@ripkin@JoshuaPHilll@groovee_666 Oh, it is.
Neiman Marcus had five floors in that stupid ass mall. They even had their brand on the building. That shit is all gone and those commercial spaces are still empty. It's a luxury playground based on make believe.
@LoreMastervt@panicsoreo@JoshuaPHilll@groovee_666 CORRECTION: it WAS wasted space. the Stadium proposal wouldve been a bigger waste. Now we have the beautiful Moynihan Station and the 7 line expansion emptying commuters into a thriving neighborhood of commerce & business. Before we had a rat hole penn & a derelict open rail yard
@ripkin@panicsoreo@JoshuaPHilll@groovee_666 I don’t think anyone means it’s actually literally empty, but there are literally dozens of articles out there about how much of a disappointing waste of space it is compared to its original goals. It is wasted space, undoubtedly
@panicsoreo@JoshuaPHilll@groovee_666 Paywall.
Anyway, Hudson Yds office bldgs are full of tenants, mall has loads of shoppers, excellent restaurants (Mercado Little Spain, Milos). The wait to get into the EDGE is outrageous (even w reserved timed entry). To say it’s empty is to fabricate a narrative.
@PaulSorrentino3@bearyphan That’s a shame.
Biden would cross their pricket lines in a heartbeat. Has, in fact. His whole life.
He doesn’t know what a soft shoe feels like.
@invisiblepeople@CapaTosta122 No. homeless can be in a psychotic break from reality. Making eye contact with them puts ppl at risk of a lash out & being hurt.
The system MUST house them in dignified, clean, safe housing.
It is not the individual’s responsibility to make homeless feel good about themselves.
Humanization starts with eye contact. In order to empathize, we must be ready to look our homeless neighbors in the eye to let them know we value them, too:
