@matt_kercher Rent control is only good for the first few people who can get into rent controlled units. After that, the supply is reduced in that area leading to increased prices for the remaining units.
If you rent control everywhere, then immigrants and the young suffer from no housing.
@GunnelsWarren Billionaires pay taxes sporadically when they sell assets to get spending money. They don't pay taxes every year, only when they want pocket money.
@enggirlfriend When you can print as many ballots as you want, fill them in, and drop them off by the hundreds at any ballot drop off box with no oversight, you're able to control the outcome and call anyone who notices a conspiracy theorist.
@thevillagerabbi Either way, it's highly unlikely a majority of Raman voters would vote for Pratt.
While it's been an entertaining campaign, you would be naive to think he can win.
@BoujeeFinances We're able to do it in California with 2 kids and 90k. It's all about how you set yourself up.
No credit cards, purchase cars 3-5 years old, starter home, home cooking 5 nights a week, mint Mobile, $30 base Internet, 2 TV subscriptions, 3 year old phones, ect.
Health insurance prices from bad government policies have people arguing to make the unaffordable system free instead of fixing the root issues.
Allowing healthcare facilities to charge different prices depending on your insurance status is criminal and must be fixed
@jonbrooks Once you understand that the value of money decreases every year, you'll understand that home prices aren't really going up after inflation.
There looks to be a burgeoning amount of money in enough people's pockets that interest rates will keep climbing. If the government decides to artificially lower interest rates to service the debt it'll cause a secondary wave of inflation. Be prepared to buy gold and silver.
Men who marry their high school sweetheart don't have to deal with the conditional love that defines post college relationships.
Women become more selfish after being let down a few times to protect themselves.
The hardest pill for women to swallow is that average men love us far more unconditionally than we love them. A regular guy making a standard wage will gladly date a woman with zero income, pay for her meals, and support her dreams without ever making her feel inadequate. But the exact second an average-earning man loses his job or hits a financial rough patch, a massive percentage of women instantly lose respect and look for an exit. We demand unconditional loyalty, but only offer conditional love.
@foolrushingin@BitPaine If you make that much in America you are considered poor and get free healthcare and college anyway. There is no financial advantage to being a European.
@WrassleLizard@brucefenton The modern Democrat party wants to censor everyone online and lock people up for hate speech so they can have total control over political discourse. It's happening in university and Western countries abroad.
That's pure evil in the form of totalitarianism.
