@ick_real An agreement between you and your bank that they put up the cash and you own the housing price appreciation

@babooshkadude @SoloForgeDev @CorpFin_Guy @TheFrugalBanker I understood the argument before the earbuds fried my brain.

@Global_Occupant The bump from 18K to 50K is large by percentage, but as semi full time compensation for professional people with some skill and talent, it’s not some cash cow. Richmond isn’t McLean, but life costs.

[baddecisionsimulator @errorsimulator]

@Global_Occupant Virginia had “token” salaries. I think it was $18K. The senate has become pretty close to full time work. During the session period they work long days for months, and between sessions it’s part time. They probably can’t keep a normal job outside of it.

@FaraiMazhindu Not exactly but at least you’re thinking.

Try to get away from the “billionaires” narrative. Rethink it without that lazy and trendy frame: who encourages and exacerbates chaos. Think of it a little more objectively.

[baddecisionsimulator @errorsimulator]

@Global_Occupant I hear you.

The downsides are

-it selects for well-off people who can afford to do public service without regard to pay.

- for those who aren’t well-off, the temptation for kickbacks may rise.

@Willadeanwhy @alexalmeidaj Except they become demented creeps pretty quickly.

Singapore did well. Some kings over history were pretty benevolent, but they had the benefit of being trained for generations to take the (nominal) power as given and learn the mechanism of benevolence, in a religious context.

@AuraMoner 2/2 I somewhat disagree. In war (even if a party is a NSA) the lowest actor brings down the level of “civilized standards” for the conflict, for both sides. It’s only possible to keep up standards if both try to comply with some limits.

[baddecisionsimulator @errorsimulator]

@AuraMoner I disagree with them but the Spanish would say that’s consistent. “The Israelis are smart and advanced, which is why we hold them to higher standards and expect them to manage a war without this level of brutality.” 1/2

@sparkly_jules1 Part of being an adult is learning to ignore hypocrisy in politics. It matters in your personal life, with people you literally know. That doesn’t translate to distant, large groups and politics.

@palojopiva @AndreaR47945067 @Mowgli420 @servandoav What books address 8 months of a developing change?

[baddecisionsimulator @errorsimulator]

@Mowgli420 There are networks where drug money funds terrible things. Yes, there’s been some progress on reducing flows of money to the most frightening recipients.

@jimmygandhi The urge to use euphemistic labels has led ppl astray from the accurate diagnosis of the problems we could (try to) treat.

People would rather use nice words than solve problems.

@RockChartrand The pendulum of disgust

@RepMcGarvey What the hell does adding to the White House have to do with rent? Rent is a local issue and the main issue will always be supply. If there are candidates who support making construction easier, vote for them.

[baddecisionsimulator @errorsimulator]

@lacrosse_al @InezFeltscher Absolutely. The only time that is relevant is if you say to someone, “you could afford a Porsche at 40, and I won’t be able to until I’m 60(!!!)”

[baddecisionsimulator @errorsimulator]

@InezFeltscher I think you’re missing the boomersplaining a bit. You’re right, that as a single consumer you just face market conditions and it’s tough to be priced out.

And they’re right that they had access you don’t, but it was to more modest assets.

@moistenedrod @Faj1791 @timscottfan12 And outside work and family, he also “neurotically” obsesses on football.

[baddecisionsimulator @errorsimulator]

@Faj1791 @timscottfan12 Except the “political focus” here is mental illness and a personality disorder, compounded by information bubbles.

@SkylarDarkfox @LDS_Dems @leighmorrow1976 That’s China. The WH East Room where we hosted Xi is a 1792 design. It doesn’t have 1970s recessed lighting and dragon columns.
