Date: October 15th, 2026 5:17 PM Author: Fucking Fuckface I might make undertake a project to dismantle some of this dumb shit, because it's gotten to the point where it's genuinely ruining our country
What shit do you hear people say that is almost inverted relative to reality and in need of a fucking reality check?
Examples from my end:
1. defense spending makes us safer 2. "thank you for your service" 3. violence has no place in modern society 4. the idea of a "fair share" that is somehow tied to a bright line, uncontextualized thing, like a specific gross income

Explain because the math does not support your assertion. A 20% down, 30 year fixed rate mortgage is one of the greatest wealth generating tools in human history |

Date: October 15th, 2026 5:35 PM Author: cowgod People underestimate the value of leverage for a prole household who scrapes together a 20% down payment. Principal appreciation occurs against the entire asset, not the Equity, fwiw. Whereas with equities it’s against the…. Equity.
