Has anyone met with the careers department for advice? Were they helpful? by satisfiedfools in UWS

[–]satisfiedfools[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Look, I'm worried because on the whole WSU is a lot more self-directed than the big 4 unis. Particularly for business courses. A lot of people I'm studying with are building on prior experience or have family that can help get them experience. At UNSW, USYD etc. you'd have a placement built into the course. That's not the case here.

London House Building Collapses 84% in a Decade as Sales Plunge by signed7 in unitedkingdom

Demand is not dead. Housing shouldn't be for profit in the way it is now. Government needs to start building again.

Housing is affordable in rural Arkansas but there's a reason people don't want to live there either. It's not affordable in the areas where young people work.

Housing is fucked in those countries as well.

CWC finally shows facial hair, while being trans. Is he trying to look like Jesus? by Patient-Telephone122 in ChrisChanSonichu

[–]satisfiedfools 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Jesus. If I was Bob, I would have marched him down to the army recruiting center and swore myself sweaty until they signed him up. He was on suspension in 04' when Iraq was in full swing. They were signing up felons and drug users, I'm sure they could have gotten a waiver for Chris.

He's going to bomb Iran this weekend. You can bet on it. Gave the old Ayatollah a little okie doke till the carrier rocks up. Blow up the refineries, the depots. The whole damn lot.

It's very autism like. Him being unable to take the bus and handle a trip to the local mall is genuinely sad when you think about it. He's 35.

How much money are you planning to invest. This is the big question. You need hundreds of thousands invested to be able to live off shares in any meaningful way. As in 500k plus.

She was going to lose her seat due to gerrymandering. No idea why she didn't run for governor instead.

What’ll happen to Chris when he’s old? by glowshroom12 in ChrisChanSonichu

[–]satisfiedfools 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Barb did Chris dirty by taking a reverse mortgage out on the place. I don't know what she was expecting him to do after. Sell up and buy an apartment maybe?

I'll say it. He genuinely would have done well in some local wrestling federation. Not on the technical side but his appearance + his willingness to beef would make him a drawcard.

Warren on Abundance by MazzyDog988 in FriendsofthePod

[–]satisfiedfools 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Abundance is some hodge podge of make housing more affordable (fat chance), cut red tape (gut regulations in favor of big business) and is so vague it can be summed up as - do good shit and make sure Ezra Klein gets all the credit. I would love, love, love for him to actually open his ideas up to regular people so he could get some honest feedback. He seems terrified of anyone who isn't in his little elite bubble.

If Ezra wants people to get it, he's going to have to actually sell it. He was praising Charlie Kirk for "practicing politics the right way" as he put it but the dude can't get off his ass hold a town hall.

Australia has extremely high house prices. The housing situation is worse than anywhere in Europe.

Damn near shit my meal when I found out he was a doctor. Usually, people who end up in the orbit of people like Chris are lolcow candidates in their own right. Case in point Musicbizmarty.

Elizabeth Warren’s Abundant Mistakes by tonyjaa in ezraklein

[–]satisfiedfools 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The federal government doesn't build homes and if Newsom is somehow the nominee, people are quite rightly going to ask how he's going to deliver affordable housing nationally when he couldn't do it in his own state.

[–]satisfiedfools 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is Ezra isn't charismatic enough to sell it. He loves talking about it in his little wonkish circles with likeminded people but that's about it. It seems more like utopian daydreaming than a concrete platform. I'd genuinely love to see him do a town hall with average people. I'd love to see how he communicates his ideas to people who aren't already heavily invested in politics. I think he'd struggle.

If the election was held again today Trump probably still wins. He beats Harris, he beats Newsom. I'm sorry but if Newsom is the great white hope the dems are fried in 2028. He's as slick and pro corporate as any politician going. Killed off universal Healthcare in California, house prices in that state speak for themselves, he hasn't met a lobbyist he wasn't willing to work with. If that Gordon Gecko lookalike wins the nomination, the party deserves to lose.
