Sesame Street has been shit ever since Baby Bear started causing kids to affect a speech impediment, so 1990? 91?
Pull the plug already.

Tell me. more of this impediment. Was the character speaking weird and it started causing kids to emulate it and induce a speech impediment?
 
In a chat room format it's a lot harder to enjoy 100 pages of people sperging out over poor people being allowed to drink soda.
No one said they're not allowed, just that they can't buy it with taxpayer money. A diet coke is like $2.50 at the gas station, surely you can afford to spend some of your crack money on that.
 
The reason other countries can produce them cheaper is cheaper labor. people are willing to work for cheaper because housing is cheaper. If America had better regulated their banks, then housing wouldn't be as expensive as it is. Therefore you wouldn't have to pay your factory workers as much.

That's backwards reasoning. American laborers are on average more skilled and command hire wages than workers in most other countries which enables them to afford larger, and more expensive houses. When the US wasn't as prosperous economically our houses were much smaller and the quality was considerably lower. Because most people consider a house to be a lifetime investment, they want to build a nice house that they think will be worth more in the future.

Housing is expensive because demand is outstripping supply and because of regulations which make producing housing more expensive or reduce the rate at which it is supplied. Local laws making building permits expensive and safety regulations requiring more expensive components, materials, etc. add to the costs. We also make larger homes now, even though the average family size has decreased.

Trump succeeding in deporting millions of illegals is going to help considerably with housing prices because we aren't using up as much of the supply housing people who don't belong here. Since we'll also be spending fewer tax dollars on paying to house those illegals, the tax payer will have more money in their pocket with which they can purchase a home.

My statement wasn't meant to be a for/against thing, just purely neutrally, I enjoyed seeing everyone in this thread (including myself) being really retarded over something so inconsequential for such a long period of time. You can't really get that from a chat room.
 
Why do boomers hate him though? He's doing all the shit they like.
because he's "uncooth" like boomers were taught to tolerate acting like a nigger if you're not white, but you have to act like Mitt Romney if you're a regular white person.

beyond that most lady boomers still hold a grudge and trump reminds them of guys that hit it and quit it or rejected them outright

I think this is a major problem. Housing should at best maintain value relative to inflation, baring further investment (a fence, pool, out building etc.) Realistically housing would decrease in value without that investment regardless of how well it is built.
Local laws making building permits expensive and safety regulations requiring more expensive components, materials, etc. add to the costs.
permitting is a nightmare and needs to be reformed. Safety regulations tend to pay for themselves over time.

I agree 100%. However, that doesn't mean over financialization won't cause problems in the future of real estate.
 
Enjoy the sequel: the woke generation, now with extra boomers!
A lot of the hippies turned into Yuppies eventually. idk if the woke will turn into anything useful. Some of them will get their heads out of their asses and turn into productive members of society. but the others will just be like the chronically homeless.

That’s all well and good, but the people that create the onerous regulations that prevent new housing starts on the local level should still be stung up from lampposts by their ankles and beaten with sticks until they knuckle under.

It’s a problem that can be solved on both ends, kick out the illegal aliens that are draining resources and creating a shadow job market that no citizen can compete with on one hand, bringing NIMBY faggots to heel on the other.

It’s the best scenario to bring the housing market back under control. Aforementioned NIMBY neighborcattle will scream and drag their feet crying about housing valuations and equity, but that’s what the sticks are for.

During covid there was a shortage of building supplies now there is a shortage of skilled labor. Many industries exist that women are too lazy to do yet refuse to pay higher wages to compensate. I blame feminism.
