@honestpollster The mall videos and photos are so effective on people. Right wing campaign orgs should just run tons 90s mall videos instead of their stupid attack ads.
@devonkellar_B2B@TheMattViera@robprogressive The part where as soon as they get out they tell the VA their ears ring and the anxiety prevents them from sleeping and then they recieve $50k a year tax free for the rest of their life on behalf of the civilian tax payers. Thats what keeps Americans free, obviously….
I have a hard time with this because our own veterans are shaking down this country with embellished medical claims. Where does your average taxpaying citizen turn to? What moderate coalition can be strong enough to withstand socialism on the left and military takeover on the right?
Among the middle and lower class, the winners would be whoever spends it and everything else they have the quickest. Then you would see the largest wealth transfer in history to the wealthiest asset owners. Within a year or two nearly everyone is more poor than they have ever been.
@honestpollster@mysticalcolt Wait until you see what’s happening with our disabled veterans payments. Now more than double SNAP programs and a total welfare military state. Start polling the civilian opinion of veterans over the next few years and see what happens.
@shawngorham Agents are almost always an unneeded barrier between you and the deal. Why pay them at all? A model with fixed fee agents of $5k base and 1% beyond $500k would make sense in the modern era. Yes there would be 95% less agents and that’s not going to hurt the market.
@honestpollster You are right. This gross platform feeds more information into our AI models than any other site on the internet. Basically your AI agent is a raging antifa cuck but you can’t see the face piercings and blue hair.
@MartyTheElder Nobody is going to buy the house when the mortgage rate is 7.17%. We need to work on the price to income and transaction cost (brokers, taxes, fees) which are the entry barriers to housing.
@KanekoaTheGreat $200 billion in ‘disabled’ veterans isn’t fraud because the rules are so soft they are meant to be broken. Let’s fix that with simple tweaks to medical criteria and means testing so we aren’t sending $50k in cash to millionaires who don’t seem so held back by their disability.
Boomer couples also got two salaries instead of one and used that to purchase things at yesterday’s prices. The feminist, women in the workforce movement has made the cost of everything go up tremendously. The first ones to participate got 2x income at 1x cost of living. Now it’s worked through the system and baseline is two job households.
I see this as one of two ways when reading between the lines: Have kids, make meaningful memories in the house, and keep it for it is home not an investment -Or- chase $$ and hope the economic situation of others deteriorates while you are in a defensive position, losing out on what’s really important.
