Most landlords bought the place earlier when home prices and mortgage rates were lower, or they just own the place outright and don’t make any mortgage payments.
This article is about choosing whether to buy at current rates or rent at current rates. If you bought a place 10 years ago for half the price it’s worth now and a 2% interest rate then you’re probably going to be paying less then renting
Yeah, not saying you should listen to him. But a lot of people do and telling that audience he’s an idiot and shouldn’t be listened to wont work as well as playing along and trying to use his platform to promote something besides conspiracies and light fascism.
Unlike fox News though Rogan isn’t outright hostile to liberals. If you go on fox News as a liberal you’ll maybe be able to get half your point across before the host calls you an un-american communist. On rogan you could probably get through a 10 minute Marxist diatribe, as long as you dont use any scary or long words like proletariat, and he’d probably be to dumb to see what your doing and nod and agreee.
For better or worse the democrats seem to have abandoned the identity politics that angered this group so much so it wouldn’t be too hard to bring this crowd over if the messaging is right.
If we had ranked choice and got rid of the electoral college*
A lot of those third party votes are in solid red or blue states where it wouldn’t matter. Also a lot of the third party votes this time was for rfk and the libertarian Oliver, who wouldve probably went to trump so the outcome would probably be the same.
What restrictions?, the article doesnt mention any, Bidens ultimatum came and went with no action.
Both sides were for unconditional aid to Israel, kamala may have added some laments about loss of life but she repeatedly said restrictions on military were off the table. Until someone can point to me a concrete policy that kamala had in her platform that was different from trump then yeah both sides are equally bad on this issue. Trump is worse on a lot of others but to a Palestinian they are both bad.
But they’re hosting it in a different petro-atate this year. They might actually agree cutting emissions is a thing that may need to be done , possibly, in the foreseeable or distant future.
My company just did the same thing. Just layed off 15% of staff because of some bad quarters but is now looking into mergers and acquisitions because they think/know the senile microphone abuser will let tech consolidation run wild.
Yes, because Israel definitely doesn’t have nukes. That would be in violation of international non-proliferation agreements, and they have the utmost respect for international law.
They are in ancient history though. They’re in the Bible that these people treasure so much, the philistines are mentioned a lot as people who live in the southern Levant who aren’t Jewish. After the roman emperor hadrian expelled the jews from Judah he renamed the province Palestine, more to spite the jews then to honor the philistines, which is the name of the region and the people who live in it who are not jews to this day.
Yeah they absorbed a hegemonic imperial Arab culture in the second millennium but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. That’s like saying Canadians don’t exist because them and the u.s. we’re created by the same empire and have a very similar culture and language.
Your numbers don’t show that it’s vote by mail. Kamala lost ~ 13% compared to Biden nationwide and in your example vote by mail state Oregon she lost ~14%
California isn’t in yet but doing some rough math she looks like she’ll get ~9 million total compared to Biden who got over 11 million, so around an 18% drop in another very heavy vote by mail state.
I guess it’s nice to see national review sticking to there never trump line. seems like there the only conservatives left who haven’t hopped on the maga bandwagon
What an uncreative and semi-racist insult. These people abuse and oppress women and gays, marry children, run an authoritarian theocracy and you choose to make fun of them for living in a sandy environment?
It’s the thin blue line flag , you’ll see it all over the US by right wingers who think police are the only thing keeping us from murdering each other.
Starting to think this might be the beginning of the incumbent disadvantage as both parties continue to put up unpopular candidates that fail to address the systemic economic issues plaguing the country.
and Sudafed
Isn’t Sudafed supposed to be short for pseudoephedrine , the stuff that actually works but they have to keep behind the counter?
Makes sense. You’d want to hold back on buying until the market becomes clearer.
Investors are, however, betting that Trump’s plan to cut taxes and raise tariffs will push up inflation and reduce the pace of interest rate cuts.
Higher rates for longer mean investors will get better returns on savings and investments they hold in dollars.
So they are hoping we’ll get more inflation so they can get better returns on their bonds, and trump will spin this as good for the economy . Fuck finance, fuck Trump and fuck this shit country.
Oh no, a strongly worded letter! Did he send it attached to the new shipment bombs?
Rhetorical opposition doesn’t mean shit when your still giving them everything they want materially.
but he said he might stop sending bombs
Keyword said not did, most likely in a ploy to flip some pro-palestinian voters last minute only to pretend he never said it after the election.
There was a massive media campaign against it. Every other political ad on tv was against it .
Progressive policies are popular until billionaires spend millions of dollars convincing people that the world will end if we help poor people a bit.
It’s just talking about the first month / year. Assuming that only inflation is effecting prices to keep things simple the price of renting goes up over time with inflation, while a mortgage stays constant dollar wise, and since a dollar is worth less over time the payment is less.
Combine this with building equity the net cost of owning a home goes down over time while renting goes up. The question is when do those two lines meet, eg. If you bought a home now how long would it take to be paying the same as renting. Maybe it’s 5 years, maybe 10 or 15 depends on the market, judging by the article it seems that period is getting longer as the starting point for a mortgage is really high and will take a while to recover.
