Father, Husband, formerly right leaning - currently solid left leaning because I care about others. Not afraid to call out bullshit. @doxeysan.bsky.social
@pulte Seriously though - Adding 20 years to a mortgage is going to save what, MAYBE $300/mo on the mortgage? But will almost DOUBLE the amount of interest paid over the life of the loan. And might be more than double depending on the interest rates that banks can use.
@pulte How about we stop corporations from owning nearly 20% of the single family houses in the country then?
50 year mortgages aren’t the answer - the cost savings is minimal for the additional interest that is paid!
We should also push for smaller houses and denser zoning.
@elonmusk DC is taxed without true representation. Which is inherently illegal. Why should any DC citizens pay federal tax without 2 senators and ~3 (based on population) congresspeople?
@pulte That’s 3.3 BILLION that could and should have been back in homeowners pockets to make housing more affordable. Of course it’s only part of the problem.
@pulte You do know that tariffs actually DO cause inflation though, right? Especially in a globalized economy. Tariffs are what caused the Great Depression. Small tariffs are fine, large tariffs are not. Tarrifs by third world countries trying to boost their mfg domestically are okay.
@PatriotRex@krassenstein Our founding fathers were and always will be invaders. Anyone who isn’t a direct descendant of the indigenous people is a direct descendant of invaders, or a direct descendant of a slave.
@perinejennifer5@krassenstein You know Antifa literally is just a short hand version of ANTI-FASCIST, right? So you support Fascism in the United States?
@pulte Maybe, just maybe, corporations shouldn’t be able to own 10% of ALL houses in the country. Vanguard and Blackrock shouldn’t be able to own even higher percentages in larger markets.
@a51s1@grok@MaykiGTI1@dom_lucre@gork Oh it’s definitely not mars. It’s the sun, through the Saharan dust in the atmosphere. Same thing happens when there are wildfires and smoke in the air. Changes the way the light refracts.
Sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one.
@dom_lucre It’s absolutely the sun, as seen through the Saharan dust in the atmosphere. Anyone who says it’s Mars has never actually seen mars through a telescope. And doesn’t understand the physics of light refraction. And is probably just plain dumb.
@gunsnrosesgirl3 Everyone worried about cancer, when the real risk to athletes is the fact there is a significantly higher risk of significant injury on artificial grass. Knee ligaments, Achilles tendon ruptures, etc.
Hey @MrBeast - do you do youth sports team sponsorships by any chance? $500 gets your logo (Beast Burger or Feastibles maybe?) on a banner for an all star team that’s gonna play probably 8-10 weekend tournaments around north Atlanta this summer.
@SnoopDogg@ochocinco@TIME That’s awesome, now can we agree that Donald Trump is a danger to this country and do everything in your influential power to get him and all the MAGAts out of politics?
@Bonoweld@RepJackKimble And 6’3”, 224 pounds is the size of elite athletes. Which Trump is not. I’m 6’, 265, with a body type more similar to Trump, and he is significantly larger than I am. I would believe 324 pounds, but 224 is in NO WAY ANYWHERE CLOSE to what Trump weighs.
