🙋♀️ this is me. Yes, we bought our forever home at a decent rate. Then was able to refinance at a low rate. We are grateful.
Millions of homeowners are still locked into ultralow mortgage rates they don’t want to give up.
Mortgage Rates Are Falling but Owners Still Won’t Sell
Nearly 30 million households, or 54% of primary mortgage-holders, have mortgage rates at or below 4%.

All of this!
The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

So many hot takes about who will win/lose the shutdown, but so little discussion about what's at stake. The stakes here are whether Congress makes the law or the president can rule by diktat. Everything else is commentary.

This unfortunately feels spot on.
Preregistering:
1. The shutdown will break the record for longest shutdown (35 days).
2. Attitudes about the shutdown, and who's to blame, will be polarized along partisan lines; there will be no coherent or consistent narrative about its cause.
3. The shutdown will persist until context changes.
