@dwlz You short using defined risk spreads, e.g. long put spreads/short call spreads. You lower your exposure to volatility collapse and make your directional bet. Also add time to your options, all of my shorts are for 2028 and if AI doesn’t collapse by then I was wrong.
@rmvandulken@BladeoftheS You’re such a dumbass and it shows but I’ll do you a solid and teach you something.
Money saved from paying a landlord will be spent on the broader economy. This is good :)
If that same money flowed to a smaller group of people then the economy does not grow. This is bad :(
@MatrixTranspose @LongTimeNoSiege Landlords are rent seekers, they do not contribute to the productive capital of a nation. You have to send a % of your earnings to a group of people who have no obligation to do anything innovative with your payments. Nothing inherently unethical but why design society this way?
@SignoraMatera@r0bfleming@supertanskiii People forget that downsizing is a normal part of the housing cycle. It used to be: live with mum and dad till you’re older and then rent, get hitched and buy a starter home, maybe upgrade if you have kids, then when you’re an empty nester to downgrade if cost prohibitive.
@KirstieMAllsopp@rules_of_izzy There’s a cost of living crisis, people cannot heat their homes and eat at the same time. Yet the luxury goods sector is that important? Workers selling Chanel bags to wealthy clients who disappear when the times get tough does not make for a robust society.
@bluser12 IMO we tell men it’s ok to be a sugar baby. We tell women that if you want to date try to be open to a himbo with no degree and become the provider. Then the men will be ok. But I’m in a happy relationship so I have no clue what’s going on in the world tbh.
@bluser12 There’s also the issue of women’s choices. On average they earn more and are more educated and want similar things from their men. This reduces their dating pool and means men who earn less/ are less educated get excluded. So what do you do if you get no girls, try to limit them.
