Oh wow boo hoo, they have so much risk 😔 they have an entire house that they can sell at any time, who someone else is paying the mortgage of. Oh, the horror! If the market should crash they’ll lose the equity another person paid!

Really the landlords are the victims here, not the tenants paying their mortgage for them plus a little extra for profits. Clearly the tenants have committed the crime of not having good enough credit for a loan, or the crime of not having enough for a down payment, so they aren’t worthy of owning property.

No no it’s the landlord who has the real problems, because they could ein a shaky financial situation of “selling the second house iown” if the market dips!

The thing is that according to liberal ideas, the economy IS doing great.

Anyone to the left of Joe Biden recognizes that it isn’t, but liberals are the majority of the democratic party. To them the “traditional” economic markers are the most important things to track, and those numbers all look good.

“Liberal” economic ideas have nothing to do with the living conditions of the average person, they have everything to do with the capitalist class being happy and “opportunity” being available to the working class. That’s why the economy in the 1910s could be described as healthy even though people were literally forced to live in tenement houses and were being locked into factories. That’s also why many liberal economists say that it’s possible for unemployment to get too low, because apparently that’s considered bad.

The question Joe Biden is answering when he says the economy is doing well is “are the capitalists happy and continuing to expand capitalism to extract as much wealth as possible from the working class,” and right now that answer is clearly yes.

In my experience (I’m a few years out of date with how the app works now, keep that in mind) it’s like 90% looks. You CAN build up a profile, but IIRC only the first sentence of it shows up on your picture. A person has to see your picture and that tagline, be curious enough to actually go to your profile before swiping, then read your profile if they’re going to use it to judge you on.

Most of the people I know who used tinder, myself included, didn’t really do that much. We just swiped based on looks, and if someone was borderline then we looked at the profile to make a decision. But that was pretty rare, most people it was a pretty clear yes/no based on looks.

The apps is designed to encourage that behavior. When I used it profiles were REALLY not being encouraged, IDK if that has changed (I would guess it hasn’t).

Hamas mutilated a woman’s corpse then paraded it through the streets this morning. I’ve never even heard of Israel doing something remotely close.

Bust sure keep doing antisemitic whataboutism.

No this is what happens when terrorists overwhelm a border crossing and stsrt indiscriminately murdering civilians, then carry their mutilated bodies around as literal flags as they celebrate the murder in the street

Punitive reprisals to… The open declaration of war Hamas made today?

Who in their right mind expects a country to supply power to the country that literally just attacked them?

Me too! I was very satisfied with this whole season, and the finale really capped it off well.

The SFX budget was REALLY well used here. They’ve cut down the scale of the battles, but they’ve made the SFX look crazy good, and I’m fine with that trade.

Hoppers death was significantly better than in the book. That made me tear up, where in the book I never really cared that much when he died because you didn’t get enough time with him.

Only plot I was frustrated with this episode was Nynaeve, I think she needed a bit more of a role here.
