When is a laptop not a laptop? When it’s an iPad Pro.
The iPad Pro went on sale 10 years ago today. At the time, many saw it as just a bigger iPad.
A decade later, though, the iPad Pro has changed. Rather than try to make it into something other than a laptop, Apple made it… a laptop.

This is coming to America if our president has his way. So far he has.
Russia has sentenced an 18-year-old artist to prison for the third time for singing songs critical of the Kremlin.

Jesus Christ what’s going on in Charlotte? Hint: nothing.
Rep. Pat Harrigan: "I have asked Josh Stein, our governor, to consider working with President Trump to allow the National Guard to come into Charlotte ... use the National Guard as a force multiplier and they can a lot of load off the Charlotte PD."

A 15 year car loan? The car will be ready to be replaced by the time it gets paid off.
The amortization schedule really tells the story. With a 50-year mortgage, buyers wouldn't build any equity. Fortunately, looks like the WH is backing off and blaming this bad idea on Pulte. But another proposal, 15-year car loans, might be coming ... yikes.

America’s future: a home you’ll never actually own and an education you can’t afford. But hey, lots of people will be “homeowners” right?
A 50 year mortgage like the Republicans are now pushing is basically a subscription service to your own home! Especially given the average age of the first-time home buyer is now ~40 yo. Do you realistically think you’ll be around at 90 when you pay it off? It’s not ownership, it’s a subscription…

Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years!
His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years.

Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.
Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.
