@bavedikian@BestBuy@FedEx I don’t do business with merchants that ship
Via FedEx. I’ve had problems before and FedEx doesn’t seem to care. USPS has been flawless and UPS is mostly ok. I don’t think FedEx is run properly. Used to be a great company and now they stink.
@JoelWBerry If Mexico repeatedly operated terror strikes into the US we would have nuked them. Palestinians are lucky the Israelis have restraint. If your mission is to eradicate a country, don’t cry when you get your ass kicked in return.
@gkamstra I never want to hear a leftist prof bash capitalism again. Nearly every good and service we enjoy has gotten cheaper and better EXCEPT education. Shameful. Thank goodness for the minority of colleges that strive to provide a valuable degree for a reasonable price!
@musepwt Bullshit. You are trying to normalize lying, Nazi worship, bizarre rape fantasies, adultery, looking for hookups on underage apps. Working class people aren’t stupid beasts and for you to write this kind of rot is elitist and bigoted.
@FenAhsokenobi@ArtemisConsort This is not even practically true. Income, credit history, loan to value - all have better predictive power than neighborhood.
@wokebait@ArtemisConsort Yes and that’s why we can efficiently make underwriting decisions that are based on the individual and the dynamics of the request.
@LouieRenault@ArtemisConsort Many bad neighborhoods are not universally “bad” - I banked in the Chicago market and you could find great credit households in so called “bad neighborhoods.”
@NoiseesoiN@ArtemisConsort That would be reflected in the value of the property, which affects the loan size. You can go to Chicago’s Austin neighborhood and find streets with block clubs and well maintained homes with hard working citizens next to abandoned buildings.
@observer2952@DavidMMcintosh Multiple people on X with real accounts - go follow up with them. The @nytimes doesn’t appear to care to cover it seriously.
@maryarchived Then again, if Jim Thompson were writing novels today, he’d probably write about a crackhead son of a wealthy family on a crime spree. And we’d probably feel sympathy for him when you realized what his family put him through.
