That’s a different topic, although I agree with you.
I’m pointing out the undeniable surface detail, you owe money to the bank for 30 years. It’s debt. Pretty simple.
I hate giving away free money to a landlord every month also. But when you get a mortgage you’re giving away free money to a bank, in the from of interest.
There could even be an argument that landlords provide more of a service, in the form of upkeep and repairs. The bank provides no service, other then fronting cash.
Tomato tomato. I hate landlords and the mortgage industry both. But generally you’re right it’s much better for the individual to own due to equity and ownership.
The shitty thing for me and many people though is owning is semi-permanent. More of a hassle to sell and move. Landlords suck when they have year leases which also makes things harder if moving is necessary, but can be easier than owning. I try to only live in places that are month to month.
Call me a commie, I’ll accept that label with pride, I think all things housing should be socialized and regulated as a public good. No more profit for banks, wall street, hedge funds, etc. And yes, that includes small time landlords. I don’t know or care how it would be organized or work (it never will), but I hate our current system. People with more wealth are able to exploit and take advantage of people with less wealth. Full stop.

“Afford” = go into debt for 30 years.

Negative. If society collapse, I personally, and my family can’t eat gold. Period.
I’m not giving away precious ammo or food for gold. Either you’ve got something of value, or I’m not taking your gold. Period.
I’m talking about an extremely desperate situation, inherent to the whole “society collapse” phrase. I stand by this. Gold doesn’t mean shit. It only means something if people like you apply value to it, where there’s still some semblance of societal order and structure.

I’m still definitely gonna watch it. It’ll be bad, but I’m gonna watch it.
Not like in the theater for money. After it’s floating out on the high seas.
But even if it’s bad it’s still a nostalgia trip back to something that was undeniably amazing.
~I saw matrix 4 twice and liked it. Sue me. Fight me lol.~

Agree 100%. Jewelry is ridiculous and only for stupid people obsessed with status symbols.
Gold is good for use as a coating to protect copper from corrosion in electrical circuits and wires.
Diamonds are good for drill bits?
Smart greedy people have been taking advantage of dumb people for centuries, millenia even. Spending hard earned money on this nonsense has never made sense to me, but the people selling sure are happy.
If society broke down, all this status symbol nonsense would become very quickly irrelevant. Food, water, ammo, medicine would be currency. Can’t do shit with gold unless other people think it’s valuable.

If enough people join in at the same time, the threat of repercussions/punishment drops to zero, or very close to zero. The difficult part is organizing enough people.

Oops lol
- Comment on 4-day work-week pilot due in tech land by early summer 4 weeks ago:
If it’s not a 32hr workweek, I don’t wanna hear about it. There are some jobs in tech on indeed that are advertising 4x10s, fuck that shit.
This article specifically states 4x32. So that’s good. Should be in the title but I’m a pedant.
Everyone should, every job should be able to take advantage of this. Hire more people to compensate.
Billionaires don’t want this, so I’m super pessimistic. But if we keep talking about it and pushing for it, maybe someday…
- Comment on Despite constitutional limit, Trump says he's seeking a way to serve 3rd presidential term 4 weeks ago:
Exactly. Our media is absolutely spineless.
It should be breaking news, the US has fallen to authoritarianism. Trump is a dictator, etc.
They are not reporting the news accurately. But then again, the media currently serves the billionaire class.
