getting a bank to actually give them a loan is an exercise in futility. So even though they would be financially better off by buying, it won't happen. Relative poverty can be expensive in the U.S.
And if the banks do provide them the loan and the buyer defaults, we hear how evil and money hungry the banks are for giving a loan to someone in that situation
Having to pay his own goddamn mortgage on the property he is getting equity in for every payment is not "losing thousands of dollars", it's merely not stealing thousands of dollars from his renters
How is charging rent stealing?
That's an easy one
Which just shows how raising minimum wage is not a fix for "income equality".
If anythng, it hurts the middle class who don't get the same increase but whose money is now worth less.
I have never lived in a luxury apartment but the 3 times rule was the norm in the 5 appartments I lived in before buying my home.
Back tothe supply/demand/market value etc: The cost of a 3 bedroom cost more than buying a 3 bedroom home. So once that became my demand, I bought a house that I will be paying for for the next 30 years (but unlike my 10 years renting, there is an end in site for that bill.)
Demonstrable harm is implied. For instance, if I'm at a company picnic and a drone hits me in the head, it won't be much of a problem demonstrating harm to a court.
Ok. What kind of regulations would prevent this? And what regulation will prevent a ball hitting me in the head or any other object a person can use?
So as a libertarian, what would you have the court do if the government doesn't "do what it is told
Probably the same thing that would be done against the goverment in a non-libertarian society
And this is one of the great things about our country and why things should be done on the local level more often instead of the federal.
People that share this belief have a place to go and don't need to force that on everyone else.
When I reads these comments, I can't help but feel sad that I have very little data valuable enough to go through this trouble.
I have my family photos and docs backed up. That's about it.
I'd guess the 0.1% is still lower than you get than multiple "streams" where each household is responsible for the sorting,
The problem with people having to show where they donated money is that those people can the be intimidated and punished for their voice.
Asking for that is almost the same as demanding public records on who voted for who.
This would give even more power to the media unless they are not allowed to report on canidates either.
Also, it would make it even harder to get rid of an incumbent since they already have name recogonition.
They were allowed to contribute but those contributons were limited.
We had the same problem before. It just used to be only unions and other heavily democratic orginzations allowed to donate
Can he just opt out of paying healthcare all together?
In any case, once we go down that path of dissallowing do to "fault", healthcare will become useless to all by the wealthy who can afford to live a more healthy lifesytle.
The problem is that most general users that long for a keyboard phone are the type that also want a phone that "is just a phone."
I'm not saying you are like that, but I bet half those who come up to you are missing the old days where phones were simple.
I'd be willing to bet half of the remaining half simply feel that way out of nostigla but would never actually buy or want a phone like that.
Are you having fun yet?
