Then it switched or you could say the light bulb went off in your head.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. Maybe they couldn’t stop it from driving it out of business but I don’t see how that’s possible. Like you said just turn it off

What’s that? Never heard of it

I don’t know where you’re getting this infinite growth idea. No one believes that or actually thinks that’s possible. You’re alluding to the fact that each CEO of a company cuts and cuts so that each quarter they can show growth but that has nothing to do with macroeconomics.

When people have money, they spend it. There are hundreds of years of consumer data to support that. The discovery of oil, the gold rush, the industrial revolution and countless other examples of periods of excess wealth that creates lots of jobs and lots of spending. You are also mentioning buying houses and multiple cars and stuff; that represents like 3% of the world population and shouldn’t even be brought up.

Also keep in mind we’re talking about real human beings. People with families and parents they need to take care of. It is only natural for a government to do what it can to minimize the effects of inflation so that people don’t go hungry or lose their jobs.

It doesn’t rely on ever growing economy. Again it’s normal. Ups and downs are normal. When demand pulls back due to high prices the economy is suppose to shrink, thereby going through something like a reset. The government tries to prevent that because people get mad when they lose their jobs and vote out whoever is in power at the time.

It is basic economics it has nothing to do with my ideology or ideas. You should check your ego because you think that every single country is dumber than you and hasn’t figured out how to balance their economies. Trust me you are not the first person on the planet to think about how to minimize or eliminate inflation.

It is natural. It’s something that is suppose to happen in a healthy economy. When businesses do well, they should increase wages, when wages increases demand for goods and services increases and supply decreases, when supply decreases cost goes up. That is inflation. It is normal when things are going correctly.

Currently everything is shitty and the Fed is throwing money at the economy to keep us out of a recession. They’ve been doing that since trumps first term and it’s the reason our debt is out of control.

Separating the taxes doesn’t mean it doesn’t count. It is an additional payment or cost you have associated with your house. Not counting it in your mortgage cost is not being truthful.

After taxes and insurance your house costs you roughly $1450/month. More expensive than the example tweet and I guarantee you have a fantastic rate, probably 3.8% or lower.

It is extremely reasonable for a lender to assume that if a person struggles with rent, that they will struggle even more to pay a mortgage.

Side note nice job paying every 2 weeks. Great way to pay extra and pay less interest.

I’m a bit confused but my understanding is they updated the TOS. The new terms say it is at the discretion of the president if he wants to offer the phone for sale or not

You do more than I do

Well if we’re actually going to be honest nowhere in the US is there a $950 mortgage. My mortgage is 2k for a $250k house so 1k mortgage would literally be living in a slum.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m an American who hates Trump, his regime, and everything they stand for.

Every president has done some version of Venezuela and they always justify it with some Bs so I got to thinking what would I do in a situation where I was president and my intelligence community showed me proof that some dictator in a country that doesn’t really like us was creating nukes. Assuming you have all the correct information and it’s 100% true of course.

You can go around and around saying you need more info and all that. Let’s just assume they are building nukes and you know they will use it as leverage to harm your people economically or militarily

I believe this is the vent to my plumbing but I’ve never seen a cap like this. Any ideas?

I changed my brake pads and realized at the end I may have swapped the inner and outer pads on the rear tires. I’m not 100% sure but I think the piston in one of the tires is pressing against the black pins like the top pad in the picture.

Should I correct this immediately or can I get by until my next change?
