Re: DIY Real Estate
There are very weird things happening in the residential real estate market these days. Honestly I can't make any sense of it...especially given the interest rate environment and long term demographics of our country. I don't see the attraction. I occasionally browse through listings in oddball pla...

Re: DIY Real Estate
Is OP's post the sign of a real estate top? Why does it seem that everyone and their uncle aspires to become a landlord these days when a decade ago most people wouldn't take a second glance at houses that were being sold off for pennies on the dollar? There are very weird things happening in the re...

Re: Mosler on current inflation...the MMT response
He has other videos where he addresses inflation more specifically but I was looking for his most recent video to gauge his reaction to present economic turmoil. From what I can gather( and I watched video while eating breakfast and getting ready for work... so I would have to rewatch to get more sp...

Mosler on current inflation...the MMT response
Given the confusion and chaos in the markets I was curious about Warren Moslers perspective on our 'inflation' situation. The popular narrative has been to blame this 'inflation' on the MMT crowd so I wanted to see his defense being that he is probably one of the leading figureheads of this particul...

Re: Trump reelection bid
The right wants to ignore due process all together...we had due process after election but a surprisingly large number refuse to accept it and worse openly flaunt their resistance to institutions of law and order.

Re: Trump reelection bid

Re: Trump reelection bid
1) Trump didnt push house arrest and inoculations at gunpoint. (Although he is a conman, and may have tacitly supported it. All the oligarchs seized much more power) 2) So we need to shore up the rules right? Close the border, Voter ID, paper ballots, less political discussion in schools, more grid...

Pug, chill. Where on earth did I say being wealthy disqualifies you from office? I said enriching oneself while in office….big difference. Boebert is a strange character.

Re: Lauren Boebert - net worth
Does changing it to inquiring about Pelosis reported 120 million dollar net worth make it a more palatable topic? Should there be laws regarding politicians enriching themselves from public office? Does it not reek of rampant corruption? And if true, how on earth does one reform this given the state...

Definitely aware that organic pesticides and methods of growing are not necessarily healthier or safer. It's a mistake to think natural equals safer or better. The point I'm trying to make is that it strikes me as strange that conservatives don't seem to want to conserve anything......in many ways t...

Re: Bill Maher
I do have to appreciate Bill Maher's live and let live philosophy. Russell Brand is another liberal that has been pro freedom. I think there are plenty of left wingers that feel this way it's just that they don't make for good material for Fox news to use to rally the Republican base. I'm completel...

John Mackey has never been a 'leftist'
Another head scratcher for me....why are natural and organic grocers and health food stores generally associated with left wing? Wouldn't conservative food practices look more organically Amish than Monsanto and syngenta?

Re: Bill Maher
The left has the wokesters and the right has the conspiricists. They are equally terrifying from my perspective. The reason I currently vote democrat is because I feel like the wokesters have less of a grip on the Democratic party than the rights brand of crazy does on the Republican party. My guess...

I think his might be a voice that almost everyone on this board could get behind....
