I’m going to sperg for a minute about this — I work in a field where I have to deal with a lot of old fucks. These people don’t know where they are half the fucking time, can’t see well enough to fill out forms, constantly say shit like “I left my glasses at home,” can’t barely walk, terrible shaking. Then they, without fail, get in their big ass trucks and drive home.
Agreed. I just spun off of your post
All of them do this. They want to live out this fantasy in their head and do nothing to support it, or put none of the effort into it and contract it all out to other people. If they wanted to live on farmlands they should've stopped all the farms from being bought up decades ago and actually support local farm to table operations than these huge conglomerate corporations that have turned the farming industry into the clusterfuck it is today. Boomers are so fucking retarded when it comes to future planning it's insane to me. They complain about whatever they read on Facebook or watch on MSNBC, CNN, and Fox and do fucking nothing about it. I'm betting your uncle has never even attempted fishing even once.
Eye tests don't work either. My 90 year old grandpa couldn't see worth a shit, was missing an eye, would fail an eye exam, then guilt trip the doctor by lying about being a poor old veteran to get his pass to drive.
Hit the nail on the head. That was his answer as to who would actually physically farm the land. "OH I AM JUST GONNA RENT IT OUT, I READ A CNBC ARTICLE THAT SAID YOU CAN DO THAT!" As if a farm lease is just as simple as renting a cheap apartment out to some thirdies.
That's almost EXACTLY what my Dad made as a starting out engineer in the mid 1980s.
Dear God that's actually insulting
The pork thing is due to a fear of trichinosis (or whatever that pof disease is). That's why Dad always cooks steak, pork chops and so on well done.
This, they're visibly decaying with shitty mobility, eyesight, horrific health (from DECADES of drinking and smoking and eating shit and being fat) and they still think they're gonna live 20+ years
It makes the big line goes up right?
This but unironically. Burn boomer music and movies to the ground.
You'd need to crash interest rates or triple down on immigration to get higher housing prices. I take this as an indication that the interest rates are supposed to fall.
Trump's been feuding with J Pow to lower interest rates since the start of the second admin. It seems like he just outright wants to replace Powell now to bring interest rates as low as humanly possible.
Problem with lowering interest rates is that it results in hyperinflation from the acquisition of fixed assets with monopoly money. It seems great on paper until everyone's just playing Canadian real estate tycoon. Low interest rates, ironically, suppress investment into productive assets and favor rent seeking. It's boom economy for retards.
Presumably Powell has told Trump something similar, but the Commander in Chief remains unconvinced.
Trump wants rates lowered for other macroeconomic reasons too but housing in the USA is gonna be a bit fucked for a few years.
I highly advise anyone in the housing market not to buy a McMansion. These things are the last thing the market wants. 4 bedrooms is already pushing the envelope for the modern family with 2, maybe 3, kids tops. Once the boomers die, there will be such a glut of 5+ bedroom, 3000+ sq. ft. homes that they'll get sold at the same or lower price as smaller homes. These things cost a fortune to maintain, clean, and insure with no practical benefit to the overwhelming marketbase.
You just described my fucking parents man. This actually hurt a bit.
