  1. Rich people looking to shelter their money in foreign countries(the absolute influx of Chinese buyers on the west coast) and private equity/corporations are buying for sure. The average person? No chance. We have turned this nation into a nation of renters. And as Rome falls republicans want us to sit around and cry about some kid wanting to be called a different gender.
  2. What was the average home price in NYC in 1994 and in 2024? There is actually nothing healthy about the price for everything going up but wages remaining stagnant. Minimum wage in my state is 5 bucks, but the federal minimum of 7.25 pushes it to that. It actually hasn't risen at all since I was in high school and im in my 30's now. Has inflation gone down in your shopping prices?
  3. The numbers are bullshit though which can be manipulated to say anything. there's not a single American you can talk to, who isnt rich out of their mind, who feels inflation is better right now than in 2021 when folks were being given cash for covid relief. My friends and I all make over six figures and our standard of living now is worse than what are parents had making half as much in the 90's during the dot com boom. Its like the people during BLM who would come in, with numbers, and preach to unhappy people that "The cops actually kill white people more". Perception is reality. There is only so long you can tell people living in shit that things are actually good before they reject you outright.
  4. The culture wars are nonstarters that republicans use to farm votes because they have NO solutions for real problems. Nobody cares about men being called women or vice versa when interest rates are 7%+ and home prices are out of reach for the vast majority of Americans.
  5. Its silly, but its the reality. The person in charge carries the brunt of people not feeling happy. People still call Carter the worst president ever, and Reagan a saint, when Carter is 20x the president(and man) Reagan was because the economy was so shit during his time. It took over 40 bucks to fill up a Honda Civic down here in Georgia today. Its not Biden's fault, but folks are going to blame the man at the top for this. I dont buy his looks being a problem either. Reagan was literally old forgetful and loved.
  6. When was the last time you spent less than 50 dollars in a store to feed a family though? A few years ago you probably had respite with covid bucks, but you aren't getting that today. Economists will say anything, but that simply isnt the reality on the ground. There was a time when someone making 6 figures could afford a house and models and bottles in big cities. You aren't getting that anymore.
  7. I still think Biden is safe-ish, but the economy is horrific. I feel the media does itself a disservice talking about how "good" things are when inflation is running rampant and jobs are paying trash.
  8. we need to play the conference league. Winners of that automatically get Europa.
  9. That offsides was lucky.....City are on vacation already it seems.
  10. This squad is going to be exciting in Europe next season.
  11. Crazy Caicedo pass to Palmer there too. He's looking like the most expensive signing right now.
  12. He's been a new man with that blonde hair.....Enzo being out and him not having to do 2 jobs at once helps too.
  13. Ehhh I don't think she was the hottest there if we are going on looks. I found the greek girl more attractive(she is mixed though so that might be American bias speaking 😂) I found the other Israeli girl who represented Luxembourg hotter than Eden too: She reminds me of Wacko Jacko's test-tube designed daughter
  14. No doubt has the best PR firm in the UK right now writing, just like last time, how this won't happen again and how sorry he is.
  15. That Barco kid is going to be a problem one day.
  16. Now we are scared. Cheers for that captain.
  17. He's always good for saying the right thing on Instagram.
