If it’s a depreciating asset there’s a good chance it’s maintained while the price is dropping. How bad could it get as long as it’s not abandoned? The whole thing is built on a cultural premise where people don’t want to live in houses tha

It’s rural Japan. That’s daylight robbery.

Yeah but all that can change in the span of a generation. The old die and things change quickly.

Until they homogenous their way to a country that doesn’t breed and has 75% of the population above 60.

Can you become a citizen? Because most people aren’t interested in some perpetual limbo.

This doesn’t make any sense to me. Why wouldn’t a really poor family buy it when it’s really close to zero then, especially if it’s a perfectly habitable house.

Because generally the right isn’t for free speech, just the free speech that supports their perspective. They’re literally defunding public libraries as we speak.

Democracy will definitely die if you spread false information because everyone is making decisions based on falsehoods.

115 IQ isn’t all that high- that’s basically every Indian American or a healthy percentage of the Chinese population. Edit: I don’t understand the downvotes. I don’t mean this in any disparaging way, just that an AGI is probably going to be

What about 1T though, seems silly to stop here.

Not having WhatsApp at this point is akin to not having a phone at all. I wouldn’t be able to talk to most of my friends/family outside the US.

If this is Stockholm syndrome then it’s better than any experience I’ve had in a non-hostage situation.

Yes. All hail the walled garden, didn’t know it’s what I wanted but it is. The PC is my playground, I want my phone to be rock solid and someone else to do the weeding there.

Yes, I’ve come to trust apple and they protect their consumers privacy. I don’t have the same level of trust in other companies.

Poor but qualified? Unless it’s through the green card lottery I guess and I’m not sure what percent of new immigrants that makes.

Yeah it’s 50% of the top 50 unicorns

America wouldn’t be nearly as entrepreneurial without immigrants. Something like 50% of all unicorns currently have atleast one Indian immigrant co-founder. Four out of ten unicorns have first gen immigrant founders. https://m.ec

Let in a lot more immigrants, and not the refugee kind. Vetted, high skilled immigrants. Let those immigrants have something at stake i.e. provide a path to citizenship. Provide automatic citizenship to children of those immigrants born in
