Low interest rates and high inflation will pump those numbers up even more. I don't see a way to stop the increase without the debt imploding on itself which the government would never let happen (I'm personally in favor)

I'm down, I have a few properties. No mortgage and inflationary rent means I wouldn't have to work anymore

How would you cancel the underlying debts and maintain any semblance of order?

I just bought a few rental properties hoping this comes true. Lock in 2% mortgage for 30 years while inflation ramps up to 7% is free money. Open up the border and I might not have to work any more

Reminds me of the offshoring craze about a decade ago. Everyone was worried that there would be few software jobs left in America. Now it seems every company is trying to re-onshore development and desperately searching for people and drivi

I wouldn't call making dishwashers tech. I'm not disparaging, I love how quiet my Bosch is, but I would classify it as an industrial company not a technology company

The EU's service sector will continue its downward spiral as these regulations increase. They are building an ever widening mote for US Tech giants and calling it a win for the people

Does this also apply to German companies (I'm ignorant on this matter)? If not, all this regulation does is build a massive moat around US Tech companies

That's the point, every year you are aware of how much the government is taking from you. If citizens weren't aware of exactly how much taxes they paid they would be more inclined to want more tax increases

I've heard others mention that modern literature is too curated. I am also confused when I hear it. We are living in the age of digital books, digital reviews, and self publishing. There is more choice than ever and it's easier to

Cash ius even worse a choice than usual. High inflation and low rates make cash the worst investment possible. Currently losing 1% every month

How do you depend so much on push notifications? If you are receiving so many you may want to adjust your settings. It is not good for your mental health nor your productivity to be constantly distracted by notifications on a phone

Seconding the other comment, its time to find a new job. There is no reason you should be putting up with that in the current job market

Why do you consider it unwise to advertise ownership of an AR-15? Why would anyone care? Where I live the response would be "cool, can I shoot it next range trip"

Agreed this is an overly simplified model. Another thing to keep in mind would be population dynamics. Are people moving out of the area the home is in (Chicago) or are people moving in (Nashville).

If inflation hits 4% and your mortgage is 3.5% you would be making 0.5% a year off the mortgage interest + the tax deduction you get from it. If inflation picks up to 70s levels, current homeowners will have a great time assuming they do no

As a home owner, I'm really hoping that the government gets involved in helping with first time buyer down payments. Each $1,000 of government assistance will be a ~$15,000 higher sale price. Would also benefit those renting out units

I live in Ohio, can confirm this is false. Every state representative I've met with has been happy a citizen is taking interest in local politics and has been open to a conversation. A state rep is not going to target you house or stre

Campaign buzzwords. It's the same reason neither party will actually do anything about 2A or abortion. Can't get your base riled up if the issue is resolved

As an Ohioan, its the "poor education, racism, and general bigotry" name calling that is alienating a large voting block. If you are on the fence, you're not going to vote for the party calling you a racist because of the col

Addressing the pricing con: I have the Remarkable 1 and it addresses most of the pros but not quite as fancy as the 2. It still costs a lot but is 300 vs 500. Seems like prices have gone up since I bought it for ~200.

30 year olds with masters degrees who are still living with their parents? There must be additional information because this is just crazy. In 'flyover' country you don't see this. I'm assuming this is California or NY?

I think this fits parents expectations as well. If you raise your children well, they will have a better life than you did. If you don't, your child is hitting the reset button on their branch of the family tree

How are all of those countries so far behind economically if they are so much more efficient than the US? If Brazil is one of the epicenters of science, what is going on that is causing it to be plagued by violence and gang wars?
