You are literally wrong on every single point here. Laughably so. You are becoming fatpacks.
What you are not doing is saying anything in this post. You are referencing a scapegoat poster in order to collect updoots from being on the favorable side of this thread. I don't give a fuck about social proof. I'm a man, if it's not completely obvious. I just post what I really think.
 
You all mention this @Fatpacks guy. I don't think I ever talked to him before.

Hey Fatpacks! What video games do you like? Why is everyone here so obsessed with you??
Why not check out his posts in Games for an answer to your burning question?

Here's a good one, very based:

This above all else is why 90% of Japanese art should be disregarded at all costs. Any culture that doesn't understand the age of consent does not deserve to exist.

Going after this shit is possibly the only remotely based thing the UN ever did.

If you couldn't tell from the Lamborghini in the background, this is in one of the richest neighborhoods in NYC, Tribeca. The "brave" rioters are too scared to go to an actual majority foreigner neighborhood.

Street View of the location of the first clip.
The administration: They are making it impossible for ICE to enforce the law.
Them: We are making it impossible for ICE to enforce the law.
Liberal Judges: You can't send the NG because they aren't making it impossible for ICE to enforce the law.
 
Find another way to improve the housing economy than turning people into lifelong renters without the benefits of a landlord to fix shit.
They're working on another solution, and that solution is get as many illegals/welfare queens/retards out of low value housing to increase the supply of housing. Trump briefly covered this in his address after the NG shooting. But like most times when he talks he never mentions specifics and brushes over complex problems in a single sentence. Here's the solution I'm seeing that's being implemented.

Illegals
Deport them. Ok now you have more low value houses on the market.

Welfare queens
With the changes in SNAP and the increased work requirements you're going to find that alot of these people will no longer qualify for federal housing programs or assistance once they are doing part time at target. So they'll be out of low value houses and pushed into renting, mostly apartments, like everyone else who puts fries in a bag. More low value houses are freed up as a result

Retards et. all
There's way more people right now who 'own' homes than there should be. And that's thanks to the COVID era federal mortgage assistance. That assistance could pay most of a mortgage with some people paying less than 10% of their monthly on a 350k+ home. That assistance ended on the first of November. Give it a little more time and you'll be hearing about lots of defaulting happening. That's even more houses added to the market that should have been available for years.

They're trying to force a market correction via freeing up as much low to mid income housing as possible, through multiple parallel changes that all will impact supply. They're also hoping to force a market correction this was so the correction is billions of dollars lost and not trillions. That's not to say this gambit isn't risky or that it will work. But I can see what they're going for and why they are taking this approach.
I don't see why having the option is a bad thing. Some people will make mistakes. Some will not. You can't bubble wrap the world. You just have to let it be.
No the wrinkly rasin is right, it's retarded. Also it's not going to be an option once implemented. Banks will favor these loans and will push them on first time buyers hard. They'll also use it to justify giving big loans to sub par borrowers. Which will have the opposite effect on the housing market that adding supply would. Supply would dwindle and cost/demand would increase. @CaliforniaRaisin wasn't trying to bubble wrap the world they were advocating not leaving a bunch of knives on the floor so the retards have easy access to sharp objects.
 
My first engineering job didn't originally require a degree. It did require some training and brains, but the company used to provide the training and tested to make sure you had the brains. A lot of engineers got their start in that position just out of high school. Those that were good got to go to college on the companies dime.
That was the right way to do it, way better than sending kids straight to college for an expensive degree without knowing if they even like the work or have aptitude for it. Most jobs used to have aptitude tests to get employed and trial periods where you and the employer decided if it was a good fit.
That's because the company probably gave you what was basically a IQ Test and then found out it was worth to train you.

The SC took that away so jobs made people go to college as a soft filter. That has also been taken away.

Trump has no solutions for the domestic problems we face. He's not going to bother leftoids over shooting their enemies. He's not going to stop the jeet-chink flood. He's not going to mass deport the construction workers. He is mostly interested in how to start a war with Venezuela as fast as possible so he can go in the history books as the President who won an oil war. Sad. Probably nobody can really fix our domestic problems. Have a fifty year mortgage, you probably don't have a fifty year country anyway so who cares.
Fine let's go point by point:
  1. "Trump has no solutions..." - This is insultingly false. His solutions may or may not work, but to say he isn't attempting to solve domestic issues is false. If you want to argue that X policy of his is wrong, or incorrect, or not enough, do so.
  2. "He's no going to bother leftoids" - Except his instances of doing so, Charlie Kirk's killer has been caught, and his facing the death penalty. Except where he as deliberately gone after antifa groups labeling both domestic and foreign terrorists. Or his prosecution of those who harass, or attempt to murder ICE agents.
  3. "...jeet-chink flood." - You can argue the new imposed 100k fine isn't enough, but to say Trump isn't doing something, or it isn't having an effect is insane. Let's also not forget he scraped automatic renewals for H-1bs, or requiring employers to pay visa holders more, making the entire point of cheap foreign labor pointless.
  4. "mass deport the construction workers." - This has to be the most insultingly false line. Every fucking liberal has been screaming about ICE since before Trump took office. Every other page in this thread is about leftists trying to hamper ICE enforcement. You can say it isn't enough, but you cannot say it isn't happening. We've hand three separate attacks on ICE facilities this year alone because Trump/ICE is getting results.
  5. "War with Venezuela" could happen or could not happen. I admit, I thought we were going to war with Iran. I was wrong then. I assume we aren't going to war with Venezuela. I could be wrong on that as well.
  6. "Nobody can fix our problems" - Nothing will change if we bury our heads in the sand, and pretend nothing is being done when it is. We shouldn't make the good the enemy of the great.
I like some of your posts, but stop acting like nothing is being done. Or what is being done isn't having some effect. It is having effect.
 
I do respect the effort but I'm not responding to a post that's so long I can't even quote it. Everything I said there is quite justifiable. I know that some of you are irrationally exuberant, you have this 2017 attitude like anything negative about Trump needs an immediate response for some reason. But you don't need to weigh in every single time anyone expresses legitimate frustrations. Being in a cult doesn't bode well for you long-term.

It's going to be a wonderful moment when the decision is made internally to authorize lethal force against these shitheads and the first ICE or NG scores the first kill. The shocked looks on these assholes' faces when it suddenly dawns on them "oh shit, they're really not kidding, they're not playing anymore" will make memes for decades.

The nigger riots during the Summer of Love ended literally overnight when Rittenhouse ventilated those perverts trying to kill him. I'm sure the administration and ICE and NG are all chomping at the bit to let loose the dogs of war but are hesitant fearing the howling they'll hear from the left. Time to rip off that band-aid, lads, they're going to sue and threaten and shoot at you no matter what you do anyway. Might as well start bleeding these faggots to thin out their numbers and send a message. That and to regain some fucking control.
