Political rants

https://youtu.be/yiI3mDzafkM?si=VWrMBmgIGLsxctuW I appreciate this interaction. Neighbors in California have a political discussion after they found a woman putting dog poop bags by their Trump flag.

I'm going to plug this channel. It's relevant. https://youtu.be/4_Y2HZxHwJo

We live in weird times. Kimmel did this 4 years ago (shocked because it's actually funny). It's circling again right now and it's kind of working in favor of Trump. https://youtube.com/shorts/O1feA71si00?si=m51M23mZaBkoBTdN

https://youtu.be/BTiW63uok6A?si=qsBBlwD6l7WkNVO4 He's the only one talking about how to fix problems. The house next to us sold for $115K in 2009. Using the inflation calculator that would equal $168K in 2024. Today it will sell for over 400K, possibly 500K if the owner renovates. Homes have tripled in price in 15 years.

Yeah. The housing market is a huge problem right now. If you have a home to sell, you're at least selling at the same inflated rate as your buying in. But for first time home buyers, it's lose lose lose scenario. 1. You're paying way too much for even a really small house. 2. You're getting saddled with a really high interest rate, which is exponentially increasing the price you're paying for the house as your loan incurs interest over 30 years. Now you're paying 7% interest on a 400K home, instead of 3% on the same home that was 200K. 3. If the housing market does come back down, You bought your house for $400k, now you're selling it at $300k. That's a huge lose you'll never get back.

People don't realize just how messed up our economy is. I had $80,000 in a personal savings account in 2020. in just 4 years, because of inflation that $80,000 lost $17,113 of it's value. That's not an exaggeration. Those are the real calculated numbers. Saving money isn't saving money anymore when your money is constantly losing it's value. That's why so many companies are investing in real estate which is driving the market up.

I used to say I want there to be licenses to breed and while I do think that would help out humanity tremendously, I cannot ignore the potential for offspring to progress further than their sires. Now I have taken a more moderate approach and think society would be better served for people to have licenses to use the internet. I think before anyone is allowed on the internet they need an extensive course on the internet and the top 50 issues people keep talking about online so before little dweebs get to pounding away their first rage post that they are caught up on all the crap they are about to say that's not going to work because unlike their predecessors that chose to live with their heads in the sand, they were forced to by lack of licensure. They will have no excuse and they will be close enough to the same level as someone who grew up in a time before the internet. Might even be better off for it. TLDR: Minor transition deniers are getting to be more common than holocaust deniers.
