Is anyone happy?

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

nope. its not even close to as easy for people to borrow money now as it was then. the banks were dragging dead bodies inside and giving them loans back then. There are lots of safe guards in place now to keep that from happening.
Even as minimal as it is now, first time in a long time interest rates have actually mattered
I had two clients pull their offers after the .75-1% increase a couple weeks ago. It increased their monthly payments almost $300.

Have no idea how old you are and it was just at my earning start, but the old Jimmy Carter days back in the late 70's was a blast. Inflation out the yahoo. Interest rates near double digits. Without a sterling credit and needing a simple auto loan, you were looking at 12-15%.

The good news was you could make money with a couple of things called "a savings account" and a "certificate of deposit". :lol:

"Am I happy?"
Personally, yes.
On a more macro level fuck no.

What quality human being would run for high level political office in the US any more? If you run they drag out everything you may have ever done and sometimes make up shit you haven't just to make you look bad. All we are going to get are mouth pieces and narcissistic asshats. A politician with a functional brain is on the endangered species list. While some people thought Heinlein's Starship Troopers was pure satire his comment in the book of, I'm paraphrasing, once the masses realize they can vote themselves riches from the public coffers, many will do just that.
Let's stop talking about homes for a minute and bring up used car prices. I recently refied my car loan and found it it was worth almost a much a a new car due to the shortages. More so than anything else, used car prices will fuck the poor. You can't get a reliable car, you can't get to work, you can't get good, you're ducked on rent.

I've always disliked Trump, I make no illusions otherwise, long before he ever got involved in politics. I have a hard time with people believing he really put the country first, his attitude in all these years has been to put himself first, everything and everyone else be damned. Even as he failed in so many of his deals. The Republican party has had so many people more qualified than he ever was for the position, yet many of them became his boot lickers. I could almost think Sarah Palin was more qualified. The face of the modern Republican party is now MTG and Gaetz, I hope you're proud of that.

Am I *happy* with Joe at the wheel? More than I would be if Trump had been reelected. But I'm no real Joe fan, either. Like key events during Trump's time that weren't his doing, things are happening in the world that Biden can't do much about, and certainly isn't responsible for, but for the most part I think Joe's response has been better that Trump's would have been. I doubt Ukraine would have been much of Trump's concern at all.
If you can't be a good example, you can still serve as a horrible warning.

President Trump wouldn't have needed to respond. He kept Russia in check. It's not a coincidence that they invaded Crimea under Hussein, and Ukraine under Sippy Cup, but behaved themselves when President Trump was in charge.

I guarantee you the Ukrainians were happier when President Trump was in charge.

But moreso the ones whose homes and cities weren't destroyed under Sippy Cup's "presidency".

You're obviously not talking to any illegal border-jumping foreign invaders. I guarantee they love Sippy Cup.
