  • My state is nowhere near anywhere close to being a swing-state. My vote for president carries very little weight. For this reason, I vote for whichever party actually aligns with my ideology.

    An acquaintance once tried to scapegoat me and my vote for Jill Stein as the reason that Donald Trump won in 2016.

    That's not how the electoral college works.

  • I'm still not understanding the part where everyone having an extra 25k for a house purchase doesn't just increase the price of all houses by 25k. This is what happens when you increase the demand for something without increasing the supply.

  • Pirating their content doesn't afford you legal protections but agreeing to their license agreements could definitely turn out to have been a big mistake.

    If you're just itching for that content, pick your poison.

  • My friend, in california, every house costs a million dollars. All this is going to do is bump up the value of a house by 2.5% at the expense of taxpayers. Unless we're going to massively increase tax on the rich and cut tax for the poor, I don't see this as a win.

  • Maybe I'm missing somethng here. I'm not just asking this because I'm upset about the possibility of other people getting money and not me: Wouldn't we expect the home buyers' subsidy to only increase demand and drive up the cost of houses? Then the money would end up in the hands of those who already own one or many houses. Isn't this just giving money to people who are already well-off? Wouldn't it be better to create a program focused on building more houses instead?
