The problem with falling house prices is for the people who recently purchased. Imagine buying a home for $500k and 1 year later you still owe $475k on it and it's only worth $450k.

Eventually people say fuck it, and declare bankruptcy to get over an upside down mortgage.

If enough people do that then the banks fail. If enough banks fail then there's cascading effects across the economy which can lead to mass layoffs, failing businesses, and other crises.

If collapse is what you want then yeah let then fall. But there's a lot more pain in collapse than you realize.

There's truth to both sides, sir. It's true that there's no 100% safe investment and it's also true that investing in gold can shield you from losses in companies and inflation.

Probably said okay to the deal with 0 intention of following through just so Trump would stfu about it.

But I thought the war was over according to the President expecting his Nobel Peace prize any day now.

Wait but Trump said his Peace Deal was a victory?

So you're telling me there's no longer a cease fire?

Wow who could have predicted this?

I guess that Nobel Peace prize is off the table.

What a shame... All the great efforts Trump put into this Peace Deal and to what affect?

Doxing is when you expose someone's (or a business's) identity or name or location for the internet to brigade.

Most of the time the target has faced some controversy (often petty and small) and once the internet catches wind, a flurry of fury and hate is unleashed upon the target.

Is this what you mean?

I have more important things to worry about than clothes. Nobody cares what I wear, and frankly neither do I.

Yes I was active duty during Obama's administration and there was only one government shutdown that I can recall.

I think military missed 1 paycheck IIRC and my Navy Federal Credit Union fronted us the money until the back pay kicked in.

This is a huge step in the right direction.... All these post docs funding their research with federal grants then when they discover/create a successful drug they price it as if they funded the research themselves.

I don't think it's misogynistic to have a boy's only club.

I'm not invited to my wife's book club (girls only), does that make them men haters?
