@Rhinopirate75@BuckOnTwidder I disagree with your assessment. The pie is ever expanding and as long as PE can buy homes your shit out of luck. So much American money out there in the ether concentrated nothing is a better long term hedge than American home ownership l. Key note here is long term >10 years

@TheAardvark01@honestpollster I know your not. I am saying I think children 13 and up should be allowed to work and train in a factory or tradecraft instead of the sub mediocre modern education system, particularly for youth who may not be cut out for the standard public school package.
@TheAardvark01@honestpollster Very interesting take thank you far sharing! I often think about how allowing children to work would be good for a large sub set of the population who are not really cut out for school and that standardized structure
@FischerKing64 I don’t understand the hate. I learned a ton in my MBA but I also read the books and did the work. To tell you the truth, after working in corporate sometimes mowing lawns doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.
Respect for the humility. Especially having read you since around 2021 onward. It’s another reason why I continue to read because you are never truly stuck in your ways and can assess the situation in the present very well, often from a perspective that’s not inherit to me at least.
