IDGAF if I offend landlord swine
A nation of renters is extremely destructive, even Adam Smith warned of this problem, ESPECIALLY when debt based currency conjured from nothing is used to artificially inflate prices
Flush as much concrete down the toilet as you can
SORRY IF THIS OFFENDS LANDLORDS, BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SYSTEM MAKES NO SENSE.
My neighbor has been renting the same house for six years. He's paid roughly $1,900 a month, never missed a payment, and even paid for a few minor repairs himself because he wanted to keep the place in good shape.
That's nearly $137,000 paid over six years.
Last month, his landlord raised the rent to $2,300 because comparable houses in the area were going for more.
An extra $400 a month. Another $4,800 a year. No new kitchen, no extra bedroom, no major upgrade. Just a higher price because the market allows it.
Meanwhile, the landlord keeps the property, builds equity through the rent coming in, and gets to benefit if the house increases in value.
My neighbor has spent six years proving he can make consistent housing payments, but when he tries to buy a home, he's still expected to come up with a massive down payment on top of everything he's already paying.
Think about that. Someone can spend over $100,000 keeping a roof over their head and still be no closer to owning the place they live in.
Why isn't there a model where long term tenants can put a portion of their rent toward purchasing the property, with clear terms that protect both sides?
WE'VE MADE IT NORMAL TO PAY SOMEONE ELSE'S MORTGAGE FOR DECADES WHILE TELLING RENTERS THEY SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A HOUSE BY NOW. MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE.
Americans
Would you work at a front desk job, and take it seriously, for $7100 per week?
(Let’s see if Americans will work 🤷♂️)

🛑 Texas Builder Fences Off His Job Sites to Keep ICE Away From His Workers 🛑
A construction company owner in South Texas's Rio Grande Valley is putting up fences around his job sites so ICE agents can't get to his workers. This is what happens when Trump's federal government refuses to indict owners for hiring illegal aliens.
Benny Melendez owns BM3 Construction and runs government relations for the South Texas Builders Association. He told the Wall Street Journal the fence has nothing to do with theft: "I'm not afraid that someone's going to steal my materials, no. I'm afraid that ICE agents are going to steal my workers."
He's not alone. NBC News found other Valley builders using padlocked gates, codes changed weekly and hired security. Builders say agents told them that if the public can't get onto a private site, agents won't either.
More than 9,000 people have been arrested in ICE operations across the Valley in recent months, according to the Observer. Melendez says homes that used to take about four months now take eight or nine.
The law is already on the books. Under 8 U.S.C. 1324a, it's illegal to knowingly hire, or keep employing, an alien who isn't authorized to work. Employers face fines, and a pattern or practice of it brings criminal charges.
Border czar Tom Homan says his plan to go after employers who hire illegal aliens has cleared Homeland Security Investigations and is waiting on DHS sign-off. Waiting isn't enforcement.
Unless @POTUS directs DHS and the DOJ to indict these business owners, it seems to me they don't want mass deportations.
Should employers who hire illegal aliens face prison time?

Burn in hell
🇿🇦 In South Africa, a father kills three carjackers in a shootout while protecting his children
He and his two children were leaving their yard when a white vehicle blocked them.
One attacker held a gun to the son’s head at the gate while another opened fire.
The father returned fire from the car, killing one on the spot. The other two fled but later died of their wounds.
People that have never faced a major financial disaster that destroyed them ARE FUCKING DANGEROUS
