Montana judge sides with youth activists in landmark climate change case.

The ruling in the first-of-its-kind trial in the US that establishes a government duty to protect citizens from climate change.

Somebody needs to tell the climate cult that pollution doesn’t stay over the two dirtiest country’s in the world: India and China.

Let me know when these clowns start suing their governments. This country is f’ed. I’ve never seen a bunch of kids that know so much about so little.

Man-made definition for the way Mother Nature runs things. Mother Nature may run the show, but through a natural process. There was NOTHING natural about COVID19.

The reason the Feds dropped the rates so low is to prevent from the economy crashing from COVID19 (i.e. quantitative easing). The low rates isn’t what made the market red hot, but rather the severe shortage of supply (stemming back from the housing crash in the late 2000’s), paired with global supply chain issues. Potential buyers shouldn't be so focused on rates alone, but rather getting a fair rate AND being able to find a home to get under contract in a short-supply environment.

The “wait and see” mentality is what separates the poor, rich, and wealthy (yes, there is a distinct difference between being rich and being wealthy). Real estate is one of the quickest ways to build wealth, and if someone has the means AND ability to buy, they should buy regardless of where rates are. There may be better times to buy, but there is no wrong time to buy real estate.

For example, Person A buys while rates are higher, but doesn’t have to deal with bidding wars, doesn’t have to offer anything over asking price, has the sellers even offer seller credits to offset certain costs (such as closing costs, discount points, repairs, etc.), isn’t expected to waive any contingencies built to protect the buyer, and has the ability to refinance to a lower rate when they drop.

Person B “waits and sees” until rates drop, which takes some time. And if rates did drop, they are having to offer over asking price just to even get their offer noticed (and still likely to get rejected to another higher offer), no chance of negotiating seller credits, is expected to waive certain/maybe all contingencies, and putting in 50+ offers and hoping 1 will get accepted.

I’ve done the math for plenty of clients, and 95% of the time, Person A will have spent way less money overall and not go through an emotional roller coaster (I've had grown-@$$ men cry in person because of the stress of putting in multiple offers and all getting rejected). Person A will also have built significant equity (i.e. wealth) compared to Person B who as only paid 100% interest and someone else’s mortgage by renting.

If people need to wait until rates drop to qualify, then they are not true qualified home buyers. Also, when rates dropped, this yielded to bidding/pricing wars, so someone that only qualified based on low rates would have been outpriced/outbidden anyway (this is where equity and wealth comes into play).

If we have another global pandemic, rates could absolutely drop down low again, though hopefully they know not to keep it as low and as long if that happened.

"Home Depot sales sink, but Warren Buffett is betting big on housing"

As per my previous post, mentalities is what can separate the poor, rich, and wealthy.

EFF YOU Warren Buffett for raising my car insurance rates, but you sure do know what most people don't when it comes to real estate.

I’m just trying to get used to living in a banana republic after that little stunt in Atlanta yesterday.

Now that you can be indicted on racketeering charges for a tweet, or watching TV it’s really not worth the predawn perpwalk.

This Country is dead. RIP.

Tucker Carlson has a 1 1/2 hour interview with RFK Jr. on Twitter. He blows the lid off of Fauci and the whole Covid fiasco.

Basically, Fauci found a loophole in the law and moved all his bioweapon labs over seas. Fascinating stuff.

Plenty of places one could live without worrying about going Hungary, such as the Banana Republic and Turkey. Greece is needed for cooking.

"North Korea confirms US soldier Travis King is in the country"

"King crossed the military demarcation line from South Korea into North Korea in July during a tour of the Joint Security Area inside the demilitarized zone. King, a junior enlisted soldier assigned to US Forces Korea, had faced assault charges in South Korea and was due to return to Fort Bliss, Texas and be removed from the military just one day before he crossed into North Korea, CNN has reported."

"'(H)e had assaulted an individual in South Korea and had been in custody of the South Korean government and was going to come back to the United States to face the consequences in the Army,' Wormuth said. 'And I’m sure that he was grappling with that.'"

"The Biden administration, meanwhile, has been debating whether to designate King as a prisoner of war, which could afford him greater protections under the Geneva Convention, defense officials told CNN."

He willfully and intentionally crossed into North Korea. Someone please explain to me how he could possibly be considered a POW?
