Fun fact....Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971. His parents were not US citizens. They became citizens in 1975. Rubio is a product of birthright citizenship. He's also a fucking hypocrite who's willing to debase himself up the ass of Trump.
Homosexuality isn’t even a sin, or part of the 10 Commandments, but you know what is? Murder (bombing and killing civilians), stealing (wars to steal resources from sovereign nations) false witness (using God and Christianity to justify heinous and evil actions).
Since the HOA post went viral I've had a lot of people ask me what I actually think about HOAs
So I did what I do
I ran the numbers
There are 373,000 HOAs in the United States
77 million Americans live in one
That's 1 in 4 people
Collectively they pay $106 billion a year in assessments
$106 billion
That's more than the GDP of over 100 countries
For an organization run by your neighbor who hasn't mowed his lawn
The average HOA fee is $243 a month
That's $2,916 a year
For a household earning the median income of $80,000 that's 3.6% of gross income
Going to an organization with no earnings report, no audited financials, and no fiduciary duty in most states
If this were a company it would never survive diligence
Here's why
The board of directors is unpaid
They're volunteers
97.6 million hours of volunteer labor annually
Valued at $2.9 billion
So the people making the rules, setting the budgets, and enforcing fines on your trash can are doing it for free
In private equity we would never invest in a company where the entire leadership team works for nothing
Because when people aren't paid they aren't accountable
And when they aren't accountable they fine you $50 for 11 minutes of trash can visibility while their Christmas lights have been up for 97 days
70% of HOAs are underfunded on reserves by 70% or more
That means the money you pay every month isn't being saved for future repairs
It's being spent
On what
60-70% of HOAs hire third-party management companies
These companies collect your dues, manage your vendors, and enforce your rules
For a fee
Off the top
Before a single dollar goes to the landscaper or the reserve fund
So your $243 a month goes to a management company that hires a vendor that hires a landscaper that mows the common area you could mow yourself
That's not a value chain
That's a fee chain
And landscaping alone can eat up to 50% of the operating budget
For grass
71% of HOAs plan to raise fees this year
71% of those plan to raise them up to 10%
So the cost goes up every year
The reserves stay underfunded
The board stays unpaid
The bylaws stay unread
And you get a letter in an envelope with a stamp in 2026 because your trash can was visible for 11 minutes
If someone brought me this deal I'd pass in the first meeting
No audited financials
No professional management required by law in most states
No fiduciary standard
Unpaid leadership
70% underfunded reserves
Rising costs with no margin improvement
And a customer base that can't leave without selling their house
That last part is the only reason it works
You can't cancel your HOA membership
You can cancel a gym membership
You can cancel a home warranty
You can cancel a streaming service
But you cannot cancel the organization that fines you for your trash can
The only exit is selling your home
In PE we call that a captive customer base
It's the only business model where the product gets worse, the price goes up, and the customer can't leave
And the board enforcing the rules hasn't read them

not to sound too woke but this has no business getting a limited series before any justice AT ALL is served. nearly all of the people involved in the files are free & out and about. ts isn’t entertainment it’s horrifying. this is fucking weird.
BREAKING: A Mississippi mother who spent 7 months searching for her missing son, later discovered that an off-duty officer ran him over less than an hour after he left the house.
Authorities then allegedly buried him without notifying his family.
this kid was someone’s whole world
when you think of each kid that was killed by america and israel, you have to imagine how many worlds they killed and the generations of trauma they created
if it happened to americans or israelis, they wouldn’t shut up about it for 100 years
America once impeached a President because he had an affair but it seems impossible to remove a CORRUPT DEMENTED PEDOPHILE MURDERER who’s also a traitor that breaks domestic and international laws every single day
I'VE BEEN SCREAMING THIS SINCE 11/06/24! EVERYONE NEEDS TO KEEP SHARING EVIDENCE THAT MUSK RIGGED THE 2024 ELECTION FOR TRUMP! PLEASE HELP US GET THIS INFORMATION OUT TO THE ENTIRE WORLD! ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENCY!
We are killing newborn babies in INCUBATORS. Do not let them fool you and say we are targeting criminals and terrorists. We are slaughtering babies who haven’t even gotten a chance to leave the hospital yet. Fuck Congress for allowing this man to remain in power. There is no defending this. This is MURDER and we are funding it.
