The bubble was accelerated by people assuming prices would always rise, often their own greed and flipping or becoming landlords, and this was only possible due to the financial engineering that made lending to these folks posivle, but all of that droce the value of the underlying assets down significantly.
You claim there wasn’t a bubble…look at home price values in the sunbelt in 05 vs 2009.
TF are you talking about there wasn’t a bubble
Bond.
Half of the plot points from all the movies have been enacted, attempted or discussed in the first year of Trump’s presidency by his cabinet, handlers, backers or string-pullers or funders. Fictional supervillains as entertainment are a distraction, dangerously so when the real thing is happening as we speak.

There are few social spaces where people can meet in healthy ways without having to pay some private entity for the privilege.
The rungs of society have never been further apart, nor has it ever been more transparent.
Education has been systematically underfunded for 50+ years, the economy in accelerative wealth concentration. Adults suffer and the home environments for children suffer.
I can’t stand street racing, and barely drive unless forced to but it’s not hard to understand why many would find a somewhat cheap thrill attractive when their lives are filled with hopelessness or despair.
The analytics are overblown, and coaches need to get back to the big picture. Stanford traded Hollins at the deadline for Wu, but picked up the player option on Candell for the 4th year. The performance bonus if they make the all-star team should provide enough motivation to ensure they don’t get saddled with a mid-career ball hog. Team chemistry will be key, hopefully during the preseason they can get it together and not have any niggling injuries interrupt. There is concern about the defensive strategy on set plays, their specialist Franco just had their contract waived and stretched under the current contract, so the team may look to the transfer market mid season when it opens, or potentially to move up in the spring draft to fill needs. Still can’t believe they traded Simpson and pay 2.7 per year for Johnson.

Seems legit.
Getting nervous about the general public are we?

I think he was making great progress but the capitalists wanted to know where to put the meter and he was a genius among bean counters.
Waterloo.
Napoleon’s tactical errors leading to a ton of his skilled and valuable horse soldiers self inflicting and defeating themselves basically made it easy for wellington to triumph though he did enough to earn the w. That is just from memory 20 years ago when I read from Les Miserables, there is like a 100 page section–maybe 150 just on the battle of Waterloo which isn’t that critically tied for the plot. Victor fucking Hugo, ladies and gentlemen.
Napoleon’s defeat led to alliances across Europe for protection, which led to WW1, which guaranteed WW2 due to unsustainable concessions for Germans leading to Hitler’s rise, which led to USA being gifted a churning economy almost undamaged and populace relatively unscarred by war compared to devastated Europe. Baby boom, relatively equal wealth distribution and a GI bill built the US might that is now imploding under it’s own fetid weight of corruption and ignorance, as many empires fall to, but it’s all pretty linear imo from Napoleon.
I remember learning a statistic in the early aughts that only 17% of US households were married man/woman married with child(ren), when so much of media and societal representation and expectations was based around norms from the 1950s or earlier. Society changed for real in the US mid century, and continued to evolve; single parents, adults with no children, skipping marriage, same sex and/or other sex/gender/orientation households, but the christian-facist propaganda kept up.
Just remember, something as basic as “what is a home or family group”, the “standard” or “normal” is less than 1 out of 5. It’s actually the exception! This applies elsewhere.
Don’t discount imposter syndrome, it’s powerful. We’re all, mostly, normal.
Or an equitable economic system. Poverty and inequality breed desperation and support for extremism, partnered with no functional education system it’s the base for every authoritarian regime, ever.
I’ve never been in a single accident and drive a basic compact sedan I bought new off the lot 10 years ago. I could buy it used today, with current mileage for about the same price I paid new. I’ve paid about half the initial purchase price in insurance premiums.
Being a good driver sucks, but it’s kind of like healthcare where…wait a minute I’m healthy and getting fucked there too. As I age I’m going to street race and try to gain as much weight as I can.
This is a better angle that shows some of the tensile strength https://www.dreamstime.com/three-vertical-buildings-carry-surfboard-top-marina-bay-sands-hotel-singapore-luxury-hotel-artsience-museum-las-vegas-sands-image239115513
I’m still trying to wrap my head around how engineers must have had to angle everything (floors, ceilings, interior walls) so that occupants on the “slanted” tower buildings don’t have the perception their building is a leaning prop…because it is.
It would be a shame if policing focused on billions and trillions being stolen by corrupt corps, crypto scammers and flagrant law violaters of the upper class. But no, policing only for poor

Thank you for the link. I’d heard of “straight laced” but never straight edged: punk was a bit before my time and I was out off by the general punk aesthetics when I was younger, only to realize I would have gotten on famously with punks over politics and many other things.
Having read the wiki, it sounded reasonable until it got to no caffeine, hard stop.
Please tell me this is just a long trailer and not the whole thing?!?
The title was cut off for me too, “traditional relationship” was not visible until I opened and then looked above the text of the post. Probably an innocent question, they likely didn’t look back at the title thinking it would be different and the text doesn’t have the original question in it from the title so probably why they asked.
Have you tried accommodation, no consequences and tolerance? Works every time toward fascists.
