Slow the fuck down and learn to read before jamming your foot in your mouth. I didn't say jack fucking shit about whether or not there "should" or "shouldn't" be a crash. I said it was a bad sign generally speaking.

You also assume, like many did in 2008 and 2020 that a crash will benefit you, when for most people, it doesn't. You won't buy a house because you have no money and the banks won't loan it to you because they're risk adverse during those times.
My rent went up $700/month since 2021. I know it’s not going back down an inch unless something catastrophic happens, but there are still places that I aspire to move to which were only partially affected by the Biden presidency, and I would like them to stay that way long enough for me to move to them

Of course I’m not buying a house, just like the majority of Americans that will never fucking happen for me, because the market will not correct enough in this lifetime to become affordable again unless I hit the lottery or go back to college in my 40’s while necessarily working full time, which is a hell of a gamble anyways
 
It’s frankly crazy. We've virtually forgotten about it, but they sure as fuck haven't. California is Mexican clay in their heads despite the ass whooping they got last time. Imagine being generationally asshurt. I fucking can't.
Forgotten? I’ve been waiting for Rage Against the Machine to make a faggoty appearance at the riots, but they’re holed up in their crispy McMansions I guess

I feel you. Shitty situation and it must be frustrating. It still doesn't change the economics though. A house was just an example of the type of thinking I've heard since 2008 and again in 2020. A crash could very easily make the situation even worse tho. I'm not advocating for higher prices or lower prices . Money isn't that simple.

Imagine the price of rent goes down but you can't find work anywhere and you have to live in a tent by the bridge.

That kind of worse.

Bro I’m a factory worker. There’s nothing but upside.

Everyone’s gay tech startup might evaporate, but manufacturing has been squeezed my entire life

We have overtime now
 
The comic that underpins the Leftist approach to speech:
What I never understood about this if you follow this logic YOU'RE intolerant. Therefore others have the right to not tolerate you either. How do they make the distinction between "he's intolerant so we have to fight him" and "If I'm doing it it's different"?

e: Should've read your whole post first. You basically explain it.
 
I keep hearing "revolution" in these clips...over and over again revolution...What revolution? I thought you just wanted to exist and have the same rights as everyone else?

Hearing them chant "Viva La Raza" sure is a teachable moment as well. Literally it means "Long live the race," the race in question being their own.

If a bunch of white Americans stormed through a Mexican city waving American flags and shouting "Long live our race!" what would be the result? And how would the media react?
 
They want to arrange a nationwide chimpout on the 14th, and several NGOs + Walmart has donated to the organizers. How effective it will be? Unsure, but I won't be going out on the 14th.

Given how fast they managed to grow, I would not be surprised if they manage this. If nothing major is accomplished by Friday, there's no putting things back in the box. Who knows, this week may be the start of actual civil war level shit.
 
Let that go on for a few weekdays and LA residents will insist Newsom executes the protesters
Two more weeks. This didn't happen in 2020. Memorial Day is officially known as George Floyd day in Minnesota because the rioters were allowed to do whatever they wanted. The idea that your enemies will eventually agree with you if you just cuck hard enough is wrong every time.
 
A mysterious truck arrived in downtown Los Angeles and began unloading boxes of Face Shields directly into the hands of waiting protestors.

The masks seem to be a product known as the Uvex Bionic Shield.

Arrest these people, waterboard them to find out who their NGO's leadership is, then put the leadership in shallow graves.
 
General question: Are Mexicans the driving force behind the "protests" I thought it was mostly Venezuelans, Guatemalwhatevs, etc. who are being deported. Or is there no difference made betwens illegals and the Mexicans are just the largest group affected?

And is anyone actually being deported?

Sweet, we continue allowing in Chinese spies and taking up spots at schools.
Yeah, exactly why this whole reciprocal tariff fuckery was not only moot to begin with, but didn't accomplish what it was supposedly meant to.

If it was Alex "Death by China(tm)" Navarro's idea, then China's still allowed nearly full reign over American institutions. If it was supposed to encourage more domestic product, that barely helped. And whatever Reaganomics done right DOGE might've aimed at accomplishing is now also moot, - aside from cutting USAIDS, - as Trump aims for even more governmental spending, for reasons.
