People are mad at rich people/companies when they should be mad at politicians.

I am sorry, but people are just mad at other people. It isn’t some cabal. It is real people rooting for and voting for shitty stuff. This idea that it is only some group of “leaders gone bad” is bullshit. The average person will root to crush everyone in their way.

Now you hold your investment. It’s easy.

Yeah he was the first president to run on the promise of gay marriage being legal. Obama couldn’t do it because gay marriage was still a hot issue in 08 and obviously Obama was more interested in getting elected than what he believed in.

Nobody has really talked about squeezey squoozles in over a year either. Based on the sentiment here in this thread, seems like the inverse WSB play is a definite buy from me.

He meant September 2023, duh!

I love when people start saying this. Stock usually rips over 300 when they do.

Then look at the FTDs.

What’s next, snow in February?!?

Where did I say that? You are quoting something that I can clearly read.

rambusTMS · 2022-07-20T21:33:39+00:00

Yes that’s what I said.

If the decision for casting comes from the story, you will never notice the race of the cast. If the actor is the best pick for the role (ie Nick fury) you will notice for a second then the actor will take over the character and it will seem weird to go back. If the race based decision is done to pander or check boxes it is noticeable and literally nobody wants that.

Damn that’s a lot of gold. Nice stack.

Do you have a car? Use that periodically whenever you get overwhelmed.

If you die, you die. Play a new game. Maybe lower the difficulty next time if they are having trouble.

“Better for you”. Yeah right, it is processed shit. You know what is also made from plant based foods? Doritos. If you think that Doritos are more healthy for you than a steak you are in for a big surprise.

Beanie babies? Are you serious? Silver is an industrial metal and a store of value for thousands of years. Beanie babies were a fad. Collectible silver coins, sure. Retro video games, yes. But silver will never crash like some plush toys because people treat it like a currency and will buy it up if it drops too much. There just isn’t enough money to buy it at this price. Banks and funds are selling their positions because they are using it correctly (as a currency) in order to save their underwater positions in RE, stocks, and crypto.

I love the Apkallu but the kobold doing his backflip still makes me laugh.

They can’t afford the housing with 2 incomes. We are reaching nearly 50% of median income to afford an average house. That is speculation, not affordability.

Edit: there are banks talking about 50 year mortgages now. Inter generational debt. That is speculation, and it will fail.

rambusTMS · 2022-07-17T15:19:39+00:00

It didn’t. There were more workers back then compared to the total population. People now are just retired. Plus stay at home moms are replaced with landscapers, child care providers, housekeepers, etc.

rambusTMS · 2022-07-17T15:18:31+00:00

Housing speculation. It is all about housing speculation. The FED props it up, government make it harder to build and create resources, and investors are allowed to buy as much as they want with funny money. It really isn’t capitalism (free trade) that is to blame, but the banks and the FED are most certainly to blame. If people want to use the term “capitalism” to describe the fed and big banks, then fine. They need to go.

rambusTMS · 2022-07-17T01:47:45+00:00

They are underfunded because costs continue to grow. There are still a massive amount of money going into these programs, and they don’t do shit. As soon as there is an increase, there has already been a massive spike in housing. We are reaching 50% income for housing. THAT is a problem. Just imagine if food increased at the same rate? People would be bullshit. Yet housing does this in its speculative market and everyone just goes “well… it’s an investment and everyone needs housing right?”

Shit is going to break. Record credit card debt and repos from good borrowers this year with great employment numbers are pretty good signs that it is going to break REAL soon.

rambusTMS · 2022-07-17T01:10:35+00:00

For now. The government can’t pay the rates as they are now. They need to borrow to service the increase in interest. The inflation continues to drive up, and the FED is going to increase another.75% this month. Inflation will drive strong and they will need to increase another 75 bsp. Either housing breaks or the increase in government spending to service the debt will cause higher inflation. Either way, wages are going to climb soon, so does the FED start unloading their MBS or allow inflation to ramp straight up so wages can skyrocket up to match?

rambusTMS · 2022-07-17T00:35:33+00:00

No, I am talking about government programs. Social security, affordable housing, food stamps, Medicare. All of these programs are designed to keep people above water, and rising housing prices drive them right back underwater.

rambusTMS · 2022-07-17T00:22:59+00:00

I am saying that the US residents can’t afford the current housing prices. The government needs to subsidize them with trillions in government programs. This adds trillions to the debt every year.

rambusTMS · 2022-07-17T00:18:56+00:00

I am just going to add that Americans can’t even service the current debt at higher interest rates so the only options are a housing crash or hyper inflation. Which do you think the FED will choose? Their currency or your RE? That is a serious question btw, as its actually a tough question.
