At least then they could afford to have a heart attack. Heck, have two

They can issue orders. Not all are legal. But since they replaced the JAGs, this might be closer to reality.

Well, AOC is often only referred to by her initials

Actually, I think it shows how susceptible people are to what media tells them. The word is getting out to resist and organize. Traditional media doesn't have full control, but it is working to slow the reaction down.

Furthermore, people have a much tighter leash to their corporate overlords/sponsors, they have to be strategic about which protest (if they even have the energy).

So yeah, it's dumb and circumstances. But we've been been engineered down this path for the past few decades, it's coming for you too.

Fuck capitalism.

Get this sanewashing propaganda shit outta here.

You're saying there's a corner of the bathroom not smeared by the diarrhea shitstain and spinning it as good news.

Someone still has to clean the mess. Fuck you.

More reason to get off Google maps

I think the bigger issue isn't even cost. Fuck, most people in CA can deal with $30 if the process was instant. Let's not pretend that's what stopping people

The real issue is taking the day off from work to wait your ass in DMV lines when you really rather just stay home in bed if you're gonna spend a day not grinding down to a mental break

Wealth tax can treat early infections if used aggressively enough.

You'll need surgery to treat the current condition.

Ooo! Those are good alternatives. I'll give em a read through. It might solve something on my end.

Say I want to move cities for a new job. There are at least two uncertainties I need to resolve -

  1. will this job work out for the long term?
  2. will I like this city at all (or know where to buy)?

This prevents me from wanting to buy immediately.

What prevents me from selling immediately is losing a stable footing I can plan around if the new city doesn't work out. More broadly for everyone in this situation though is the cash sits.

I will need to buy immediately or park it in some investment that keeps pace/liquid enough to convert back to a house, which requires additional knowledge/research.

So to be risk averse, sitting on the house is generally a safe default...

But thank you for starting me on considering this as an options and what parameters need to be met to make sense.

This advice is indistinguishable from unsolicited mail wanting to buy houses in cash at above market rate... Presumably so Blackrock can jack it up, restrict supply, and charge way more while doing way less.

Which is exactly what OP post is trying to fix.

I'm not a hero, but I'm doing what's fair given the system we have. Even I'm saying this is fucked, but it's the best I can do to affect things for the better.
