The average age where someone can buy a house is 59. That would make them 109 when they pay it off?
Last week, the internet piled on President Trump's proposal for a 50-year mortgage. But maybe it's not as crazy as it sounds. n.pr/48gBWSR
Is a 50-year mortgage really that much crazier than a 30-year one?

44% of workers make less than a living wage.
If people are working and can’t afford food, food assistance isn’t a handout, it’s a necessity.
We should ask ourselves WHY they’re not paid more.
The answer? Taxpayer hand outs to corporations.
Corporate greed.
Subsidies to billionaires.

Landlords and HOAs are parasites.
A new report from the National Association of Realtors shows how challenging it's become for young people to get a foothold in today's costly housing market.
Many would-be buyers are frozen out of the housing market
Only about one in five homes sold in the last year went to a first-time buyer. And the average person buying their first home was 40 years old — a record high. A new report from the National Association of Realtors shows how challenging it's become for young people to get a foothold in today's costly housing market.

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️🌈

But not the families he destroyed.
Not for him. He’s dead. The sympathy is for his family. And yes. I can have sympathy for someone’s family even if I disagreed with almost everything their father stood for. Because I have empathy.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.
