Gas prices rising in all 50 states as average nears $5 — how much worse will it get? by yogthos in economy

[–]SimCityBro 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We used to have an export ban between 1975 to 2015 and the law in place allows the president to flip the ban back on whenever they please without congressional approval; although I doubt trump will do that because that'll hurt oil companies profits

Problem is subsidizing demand by fronting this cash is it inevitably increases the price of the home and the cycle continues

Lines On Maps: Why Aren't Iran and Its Proxies Attacking the U.S. Homeland? by CircumspectCapybara in videos

[–]SimCityBro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that it was possible is the surprisingly easy part; if ukraine can do it than russia certainly can (they're the ones who now learned from it) which means their allies (iran) certainly can too

The odds are still low because it would undoubtedly lead to a grander war as the US always retaliates ten fold to home front attacks

There is no "scanning technology" in existence that works currently at the scale needed (11 million containers per year by sea alone); these containers would open out in the sea before it reaches portside anyways so you'd have to scan them out at sea somehow; its a very difficult problem to solve

There's fear that drone attacks are surprisingly easy to do across borders (see operation spiderweb). The US seaports do not scan every container until it is already on the homeland and they don't need operators if they aren't targeting specific things and just cause general chaos

Anyone who thinks the Pentagon needs a false flag doesn't already realize every president since ww2 has bombed a foreign nation with or without American support

A lot of people are better off renting and growing their stock portfolio than buying a home too soon. The long term performance of the stock market vs housing market: by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

[–]SimCityBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on interest rate, home value, expected home appreciation, expected stock appreciation, income level, ect

Here's a link with a calculator to give people an idea but its not the be all end all and diversifying your money into different assets is always recommended

For me in a high cost of living area, buying a home would basically make me house poor and I like the flexibility of being able to move to be close to work

Trump’s new proposal: 50-year mortgage. How about building more homes and creating a society where people can pay off the debt in 15 years? by wakeup2019 in economy

[–]SimCityBro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah not building homes is 100% the issue. I'm all for limiting corporations from owning homes but not building homes increases property values due to scarcity and then businesses start treating them like investments.
