Every time I read about things Walz is saying on the campaign trail, I come away even more impressed and satisfied with Walz as the VP nominee. Dude seriously has his head on straight in a LOT more ways than the vast majority of our political class.
There’s a simpler solution: no non-individual entity can own a residential property - house, condo, apartment, whatever. The exception, of course, being banks, in the interest of mortgages, but that’s rather different anyways - the bank is essentially holding ownership of the property in escrow until the loan is paid back. That one rule would go SO FAR in controlling the price of housing. Yes, scarcity is part of the issue, but blatant corporate profiteering and forever-renting is an insidious and horrifying threat that fucking NOBODY who makes policy talks about, because if they did the lobbyists would bury them.
“With the cost of ads going down and the number of ads sold going up, the market is working,” Google’s blog said. “The DOJ’s case risks inefficiencies and higher prices—the last thing that America’s economy or our small businesses need right now.”
So uh. Google. We need to talk. None of us likes this. Nobody likes this. We don’t want cheaper and more ads. We don’t like ads. We especially don’t like your firehose force-feeding of ads to us. Your argument here is “it’s good because it helps us make money”. We do not care that it’s your business model, because your business model is objectively annoying and harmful to society.
What even is this article…? “What to watch during the debate”…? Like… really? A description of how to watch television? Are they gonna tell me what I should pay attention to whilst reading a book next?
Get out. That’s a stupid fucking tactic and you know it. Do not push this false equivalence idiocy here.
Dear god he is such a willfully stupid fuck
Well, unless and until the government turns outright fascist (no, it’s not there yet, don’t be hyperbolic or try to false-equivalence this), how about we don’t?
That is some USDA Prime stupidity right there, holy flying fuck. What an absolute dipshit. I’m honestly more impressed than anything. 13/10 kevin.
because they’re racist and so is their audience
Cushions have sections; that’s all that matters to him
Hey man he’s just heterosectional
In other news, the Ukrainians have deployed flamethrower drones.
I’m sorry; let me repeat that:
Whichever one of you fucks has the dev mode console open better stop fucking around
Feels good, man.
Oh shit that’s wild. Hopefully resulted in some mission-kills.
Proposal for a new law executive order, backed by “fuck you, official action”:
First order of business for the House must be to pass the budget. Not a continuing resolution, or a 3-6 month kick the can thing. Pass the fucking budget. Representatives are locked in the House, and the House Sergeant at Arms posts armed guards to prevent anyone from exiting until the budget is passed. All exit is denied. No exceptions. No, not even medical. Bring paramedics, or even doctors and any equipment they may require in, but they can’t leave either. Order Uber Eats… but they can’t leave either. Bring your friends or family, they can’t leave either. Until you do your fucking job. It’s a one-fucking-way door until you pass the fucking budget.
This constant fucking grabassery and crisis manufacture is absolutely asinine and categorically fucking stupid.
Well yeah, but Qin Gang was the face of it, and was made to take the blame for it, because Dear Leader Winnie the Pooh Xi is not allowed to look like a fool, as a matter of CCP policy.
lol wait what?
There would of course be ramping taxes for owning multiple residences, up to 100% once you get past a vacation home or two, but you must know that that’s nowhere even close to being the primary driver of the housing crisis.
