Correct. It’s not about the $5 coffee. It’s about the fact that the government keeps adding more regulations and zoning requirements, which increases the cost of building new homes.
They do this because the largest voting demographic (baby boomers), who already own homes, benefit when home values continue rising year after year.
We have real-life examples. Austin, Texas, eased permitting and some restrictions, built a significant amount of new housing, and has seen lower rents and housing costs as a result.
The government is intentionally creating this problem by limiting supply, thus artificially inflating costs to pander to the largest voting demographic.
@Mark_trantor@gildner@jerrycurld@ATFDirectorRC My first form 4 was 5 months, second was 3 days, 3rd was a week
Both my form1’s (submitted this year) took just over 2 months (March-May)
@KurtBenkert It’s not “you don’t have to spend money if you don’t want to” it’s “oh, we can get away with charging for this, let’s see what else we can get away with”
Yeah, no shit you don’t have to spend any money to play the game but how long until that’s no longer the case?
@SamuelDeats Already saw it here on X (formerly known as Twitter). I’m not buying Paramount+. Should’ve kept the theater release and I would’ve happily gone to see it in imax
@AshTheDeerGuy@PunishedDraxx@Wiki_Collins Throw an airsoft light on your shit and watch it jiggle itself apart after a couple hundred rounds. You get what you pay for
