True hey. I follow all this election stuff for the entertainment value, but I learned a little while ago that in countries like ours, it doesn't matter who's in power. If you're able bodied and able minded, you're in charge of your own destiny.

Sure, some things aren't as easy as they used to be (ie. if you rent right now, it's hard to rise above that when most of your wage is going to paying rent and making someone else richer) but those things are generally out of the hands of Trump, Harris, Keir Starmer or Joey Joe Jo Shabadoo.


The world will keep circling as it always has.

The self-deportations have already begun. Housing prices have been coming down in the US for about a year, and this will only accelerate it.

I take that back, they went up again since the last dip. I don't think we're going to "grow" our way out of a housing market correction. Feels very inevitable.

That's a good thing in my books - make home ownership more accessible to people. I've never thought someone flipping burgers should live in a mansion in Malibu, or a penthouse apartment in Manhattan, but I've always thought anyone who makes money the honest way and doesn't spend it all on shit should be able to buy a basic suburban property somewhere.

Agreed. Look at the stability in the 90s on that chart. I weep for those days. If Trump wants to go down as the greatest of all time, he needs to revive the indoor shopping mall.

I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothin', but that's a damn sexy man.

1) what country are you from?
2) what do you think is the actual cuse of the cost of things , especially housing. , and why do you think it affects the world ?

I know the answer/s
What is your hypothesis.
