Boomers did no such thing.

Literally did.

Bought homes, 70,80,90s, then went NIMBY, stopped all new building ... allowing prices to rise to help their profit statement.

Not to mention the continued stealing from the young to pay for the elderly via SS. What do you think this push in FL and CA is regarding property taxes?

You don't even know whats happening.

Trump did it about 25 times -- that have been reported.

This is just proof of Festinger's hypothesis.

"What is the minimal salary for a man to support a mortgage, two vehicles and 3 children?"

This is a too much of an open ended question.

Is it a new mortgage?
How much downpayment?
Where is the property?
When you say "support", implies the owner has owned it for sometime, how much time? (interest rate).

But a affordability index might help answer ...

They don't want you to own a house.
They want you to rent, forever.

Boomers did this ...

But really there's no such thing as owning a house in America. You still need to pay property taxes.

FTFY - ALL lives exist as pass-throughs for moneyed interests.

The question is how much can you filter to give to moneyed interests of your choosing.

What schools did you go to? They failed you.

Your reading teacher failed you Snoofy; don't you understand what he meant by "taking advantage of wet feet" policy? He meant the handouts.

This has been going on since before you were born..

Yet between 2022 and 2023, more than 10% of Cuba's population (over 1 million people) left the island, with many heading to the U.S.

Imagine you live in a place where safety and security, natural environment, education, health, and living conditions are all rated pretty high.
Yet 10% of the population decides to leave, in 2 years ...

Cuba couldn't have been that nice of a place to live even before Trump.

access to health care

What does this mean? I can go to the emergency room right now and receive medical care.

America is evil

If you're saying acting in your own self interest is evil, then I'd agree with you.

The issue is that everyone does. So is everyone evil?

Perhaps, just perhaps Cuba is even more evil??

Yep. After all those years they should have found a way around those US sanctions.

They had, for decades they worked around them using the RoW. Even Israel supplied them.

The only thing that has changed is the threat of raising tariffs on Mexico and Venezuela if they supplied Cuba with fuel. This is why Maduro was "guarded" by Cuban Military.

The US has had a love hate with the Cubans since the commies over threw the democracy.
Cuba experienced a brief period of democracy from 1940 to 1952, characterized by competitive elections and multiple political parties. This democracy ended with a coup by Fulgencio Batista, leading to a long period of authoritarian rule until the Cuban Revolution established a communist government in 1959.

Its crazy to me that Lumpers will support Ukraine as a democracy and attacks by Putin, but when Cuba's democracy was violently overthrown you support the communists.

wild man, I had no idea Americans were so fickle.

So the question is do you support Democracy or Authoritarian Communism?

You really are an idiot if you believe numbers coming out of that shhthole state.

So where did you get your "FACTS"? Claiming people don't use FACTS, then people show you the facts, then you claim the FACTS are false.

You are clearly the idiot.

Only poor people come to the most expensive state in the union.

You aren't from California are you? You literally have no idea what is happening here.

Who gives a shht?

Unlike your fact free posts, I actually look up the information I post before posting it.

Me too .. you aren't very good at this....

The six states with the largest unauthorized immigrant populations in 2023 were:

The state with the most undocumented immigrants is Texas.

I doubt it.

California
Texas
New york
Florida

Would be my guess.

New York City's population grew by 87,000 between July 2023 and July 2024"

Same with California but the people that came in generate less tax revenue than those that leave.

You posted several articles about mass evacuations of NYC.

None have happened and raising taxes won't change that.

#14 | POSTED BY CLOWNSHACK

In a place like NYC where state + city taxes already push combined rates over 50% for millionaires. IRS migration data from 2021-2022 shows NY losing over 60,000 residents to Florida alone, with an estimated $4-5B in foregone revenue annually from out-migration. A deep dive into 2025 NYC data revealed the city's highest earners (top 0.1%) fleeing with $14B in gross income"directly tying it to tax pressures and remote work flexibility.

Its going to get worse...

You need to make sure brown and black people suffer.

So do you. ... I can't beleive you're so blind to your own racism with Talarico?

What the White media did to Crockett is a shame. Everyone knows it, only the intelligent can figure it out.

Without white superiority, you'd have nothing.

#20 | Posted by ClownShack

You're the same moron wanting Talarico. You can't even see yourself being played by the White Elite Democrats.

You use ethnicity as an excuse for your failures.

I use it for my successes.

If he can win Texas, he will one day make a good president.

You understand he's ran up the score in targeting White and Latino voters and the data shows that's how he won.

Talirico is a White elitist, surprised you don't know that Clownshack. I'd be leery of these White Elite Democrats also White Media types.

They ------ over a legitimate Black woman candidate, same way they ------ over Bernie in 2015/16.

Texas Democrat James Talarico, who argues that politicians are distracting voters with culture wars like pronouns and identity politics instead of addressing real economic issues like rising prices and the cost of living.

Same thing the Oneironaut has been saying for 5 years.

Like when ICE deports someone and tells them, take your United States citizen kid with you, or we will keep her in the camps.

Shiva Amini, an exiled Iranian former soccer player, claimed the players chose to go home following "intense and systemic pressure on the players' families" from Iran's Football Federation.

And do we get to see the bidding process by which UFC was selected to deliver this training?

My guess would be because it takes the best from all forms of combat.

Judo: Throws and Takedown Control.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ): Submissions and Ground Game.
Muay Thai: Striking with All Eight Limbs.
Boxing: Hands, Footwork, and Head Movement.

UFC kind of puts it together.

Somebody explain to me why men love watching nearly naked men squeezing each other on the ground?

Because training is important? I get it you try to make this some "gay" thing. Obviously you've never had to physically defend yourself, to have even bothered with training or discipline in some kind of combat sport. Good for the mind, spirit, and body.
You've grown up in a world were you can say things online and there are no physical repercussions.

My guess is you're completely different in real life though. I often wondered why American males were so feminine, I think this explains. You hide online, and avoid the real world because you'd get a black eye. This is why women dominate you. Just look at women graduating at higher rates than men in the US. Out earning you, then choose not to mate with you.

Your soft, and your post indirectly admits it.

Its interesting you're proving the point Bill was making ...

IF it was mail-in you'd never have that image ...

Nope. Try again. Reading comprehension is fundamental to any discussion here.

You know the argument is lost when the "well, you blow truckers" comes out.

Literally this says exactly as I stated, you've lost the argument when the other person states "Well, you blow truckers".

It doesn't state "you've won the argument when the "Well you blow truckers" comes out."

You can complain about "reading comprehension" all you want, just tells me you don't know what you're writing.

Its perfectly clear you two still have no idea whats going on.

"America's role as a global superpower is fading."

This is good, its founders were slave owners.

I don't see why Snoofy is so disappointed, given all his disparaging remarks about America's founding and founders.
I would imagine this would be a time for him to celebrate.

Very true, No more wars. No more world policeman. Pull up the drawbridge, flood the moat. Fortress America.

Seems reasonable, why would anyone want a country founded on Slavery to be the worlds policeman?

What mind reading are you using to infer this, if someone asks the question "what do you think of X", you're implying it means alot to that person because they answered the question.

You have no evidence for this assertion. This is the problem with deriving positions based upon contextomy.

Then what happens is you get idiots that respond with this ...

Trump's no longer interested in the prize he was never considered for?

It may or may not be true, but you don't know with any certainty because you don't have the whole context.
This kind of understanding is learned in high school, I wish I could charge for it, but I know none of you could afford it.
