General Politics Discussion (XI) [ARCHIVED] World • Page 5

Reported 300,000 people attended todays peaceful march and gathering in London today, in support of Palestinians.

It is the largest protest in this country since 2003.

 

I thought we already learned this lesson with COVID? The trick is to stop looking for them.

 

deep cut

 

It sucks but I feel like the only way I will ever own a home is if the market crashes like it did in 2008.

 

Yeah idk what's not intellectual about wanting lower rates

 

I would argue that Americans, even above most folks in the world, are uniquely selfish. Our lack of social safety net makes that not only possible but inevitable.

Most people only see the good outcome for themselves with a recession or lower rates, not a reduction in buying power with job loss or with increased competition for suddenly cheap housing - just the idea that you (and you alone) would get access to a more affordable piece of property without any risk to your own earnings, or current value of any assets you might own that are needed to purchase it.

 

I mean a huge number of people who would like the mortgage rates to go down so they can buy a house would lose a job and no longer be able to buy the house

 

Exactly. These are the leopard people who never think the leopard will eat their face. They are the most American Americans that ever America’d.

 

Yep. The problem with that logic is they all think they wouldn’t be the ones to lose their jobs during the recession

 

Sam The Eagle claims to have serve but the closest he ever got to active combat was when he visited an army base but Statler and Waldrof were in nam together prove me wrong

 

how is this legal?

 

Pretty sure it's something other car companies do, for like their rarer models

 

It’s not smart or good to want a recession. It says more about how broken our economic system is and how bad the options are when market problems inevitably arise than it says about people though
