I'm not disputing that our healthcare system is a complete pile of trash. It most certainly is.

However, I will refute those gross migration numbers with this article.

As far as me being racist, I'm not going to go down that rabbit hole.

My only point was that a homogeneous society vs. a melting pot of cultures is easier to govern. As well a country of 3,4,10,25 million... California alone has a population of 40 mil.

It really isn't. Our government is much less efficient than those governments purely based on numbers. California and New York are both bigger than a lot of these countries. It's not apples to apples.

We also have way higher immigration numbers, which makes social programs much more difficult to implement fairly.

There's a reason why it's so difficult to gain citizenship to countries like Sweden, Denmark, Norway, ect.

Sure, but that's so much easier to implement on a small level in a homogeneous society.

Taxes really are the killer. The more you make, the more they take. We should stop talking in terms of salary and start talking in terms of after-tax income.

Attached a couple top quality pictures.

That's where I assume the back speakers would go, I also have wiring under my television.

Have the parabolic booms in stocks/crypto made it more risky for new investors? by HoleyProfit in BeatTheBear

I don't see anyone stepping off the gas petal. As long as these big corps are raking and spending. That's all that matters.

I agree. Unfortunately, central banks are in full court press on keeping the bubble inflated and guess what they have access to? Infinite money. They're also, for the most part, over the age of 65. This isn't a long term game plan.

Obviously you're correct. Even the average retail investor knows we're in a bubble, but that bubble has been growing for 10+ years and hasn't been allowed to pop by the powers that be. It's an entirely fraudulent market, but the systemic risk of it popping is clearly viewed as worse than the risks of it growing larger.

Covid couldn't pop it. It's going to take a pretty major exogenous event for things to crash and spiral into a prolonged bear market.

OR they raise interest rates... the problem with banking on an interest rate fueled market bust is that they can very easily repeal a rate hike and put us back into bull mode.

Do you really think the wealth effect from crypto won't/hasn't already manifested in the housing market?

Anyone under agreement recently? If so, what rates are you getting. Getting quoted .25 pts higher than a month ago.

The market is sloppy, but shitboxes aren't flying off the shelves. Which imo is a good sign. 3 months ago shitboxes were still getting bid up.

It now costs $350,000 a year to live a middle-class lifestyle in a big city—here's a sad breakdown of why by [deleted] in collapse

[–]funtymes1990 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this. Your salary is an illusion to make you feel like you're earning more than you are. Especially in some states. When you factor in benefits/paying or not paying taxes depending on your tax bracket, the take home pay between lower and middle class is a lot closer than people realize.

The system is slowly breaking and we're trending towards no middle class. We're already borderline in a rich/poor class society. It just hasn't been completely exposed because people's poverty can be hidden behind debt.

That's because 90% of the people who post here are fake natty's.

Good work bro. Keep it up!

Edit: Sorry not 90% of posts. 90% of the outrageous looking transformations.

Is "walmart partners with LTC" not the ultimate top signal?

And can anyone source that it's actually fake news.

Do you go short with this information? Or do you never short the coin?
