Actually, those who buy property now, with a fixed interest rate, in the case of inflation, would be much better off (as long as they can still purchase other basic life necessities of course). Granted, once inflation does kick in, it will be too late to make such investments. But now is still the time. (it is what I did btw, a fixed 1.27% interest rate on 25years)
Funny you should bring that up.
Good take on this! Yes, we have very short memories of disasters, financial or otherwise, here in the US. We as citizens, and our elected officials, tend to make the same mistakes over and over again, while disregarding the past. This is the result of either disregarding (cancel culture) or just not paying attention to history. Citizens who weren't born yet or politicians who weren't in office when these past disasters took place, don't/won't look to the past to see what caused that particular chaos to occur and learn from those crises. Sleepy/Covid/China Joe has NO excuse. He's been through multiple financial and other disasters since he was elected to Congress in 1974. Just as then, he has NO IDEA how to solve ANYTHING! He's a talking head, who sticks with the failed Democratic solutions of the past. He's another Jimmy Carter and both were only elected by default. Carter, only because President Ford pardoned Nixon and Bidetron because of the pandemic. The peanut farmer's solution to soaring energy prices was "carpool and/or don't drive as much". When people complained they couldn't afford to heat their homes, Carter and his wife Rosalynn were sitting in the White House with their sweaters on, urging Americans to turn down their thermostats to save energy. Again, he had no solutions for anything affecting Americans here at home or abroad.
They are buying voters (criminals) while making a reason (excuse -increased crime) to confiscate firearms from law abiding citizens.
Here's the way it was explained to me. The DA's and police in the big cities know who are the drug dealers, the habitual criminals and general bad actors. There aren't enough jail cells to incarcerate all of them and if they did and crime went down, these cities would lose FEDERAL FUNDING for a host of law enforcement programs. In other words, there would need to be a massive layoff in their criminal justice system apparatus, i.e. police, social workers, judges, bailiffs, prison employees and all the attendant personnel. The district attorneys plea bargain criminals' offenses for lighter sentences so they're quickly back on the street committing more crimes. The crime rate goes up and the politicians lobby for more money to fight crime. It's a profitable and vote getting method for the Democrats that run these cities. Ironic, the taxpayers have been throwing money down these shithole big cities since LBJ initiated the "War on Poverty" and little to nothing has changed.
You'd think so, but the moron voters in Californicate voted recently NOT to recall their Governor Newsome. They need to stay there and suffer their voting consequences. But many won't. They'll move east like locusts and devour other states through their left wing voting choices. Even the Rocky Mts. wasn't enough of a barrier and we see the results here in what is becoming Colocalifornicate.
I'm all for saving the Eagles but you can
Kevin, one word comes to mind, Sheep. I am not saying all of them are, but the big majority are sheep.
Jorg, it seems as if rather than aspire to get humanity to a higher level where honesty, hard work and dilligence are hallmarks they have decided to drag everything down to a base lower level that is chaos, stealing and violence. And then join the mele down there. The saving of America will be that the vast majority of the normal folks, including the immigrants will reject this. That is what they are trying to escape.
Your first mistake is believing the Dems are even trying to do something beneficial for The People.
The Dems keep the free (at other's expense) stuff coming and that gets votes.
