Would shorter amortizations make the housing market safer?,
Quigley said:
Hy I've got an idea to fix the market! Lets give banks a ton of free money to sit on distressed property, while giving investors small town-sized packages of real estate to turn them into modern day feudal lords. Then let's drop interest rates to practically nothing and watch as investors snatch up all available properties and drive prices up! The real buyers who are left will have to offer their three favorite children to buy an entry level property and give the seller's agent a BJ for the privilege! It will be . . . A SUSTAINABLE . . . RECOVERY!

Beautiful Plus-sized (aka normal) Model,
Quigley said:
She's beautiful! My wife looks something like that but she works out (at the gym now), eats right, and is much more athletic and thin, even after three kids. This girl could drop about 30 pounds and be a real stunner. I'd recommend a whole foods diet with plenty of fish and a gym membership.

Detroit Beyond Repair; Next Stop: Cannibal Anarchy,
Quigley said:
From what I understand, the auto making jobs left there aren't gravy anymore. The gravy jobs are the government jobs, and those are the ones bankrupting the city. A city that's shrunk by half can't support paying for pensions for many more public employees than it needs now. It would be like paying 20,000 people to work and 40,000 people to stay home.

New report may kill the house mortgage interest deduction,
Quigley said:
Some states have this. In Alaska and I think Texas, once you turn 65 your real estate taxes go way down.
California has this for residents who have been here for decades (and their children just to rub it in) and calls it Prop 13.On the topic, if they kill the HMID, they'll likely put a pandering "qualifying mortgage cap" excepting mortgages over like 300k. This will accomplish two things: 1) allow them to say they are keeping the HMID for lower income people and "middle class families," and 2) zero out all HMID tax money because with the low interest rates, a 300k house would generate interest about equal to the minimum tax deduction for a family anyway. So it's no net benefit to people with mortgages under the allowed limit!
Also articles like these are prepping the way for Americans to be satisfied with being lifelong serfs to the wealthy of the empire.

Non-GMO SALT now available!!! Please walk, don't run!,

Salt isn't bad for you! It's essential for the conversion of sugars to energy (ATP).
Here's an article about that.

Exit! Stage Left,
Quigley said:
The California real estate market is only a pretend market. It's really a shell game whereby ownership of properties is transferred from individual home dwellers to individuals and corporations who profit from the rentier system. I read that home ownership in CA has gone from around 63% to 55% in four years. That trend is only escalating as foreign buyers snap up anything that the investors miss or pass on. It's a system designed to keep middle class people renting for life or if they are lucky enough to win a bid at an extremely inflated price, paying on that debt for the rest of their careers and saving nothing. It's the same system our ancestors emigrated from Europe to avoid centuries ago. I'm planning to leave and go somewhere sane, somewhere the rentier class hasn't ruined yet, maybe Texas or Florida. Good luck to those who remain. I don't wish to be a 21st century serf my whole life.

Student debt driving U.S.,
Quigley said:
APOCALYPSEFUCK is Shostakovich says
The only solution is for student debt holders to flip RE as fast as possible.
That is actually a really great plan! If you can pay off student debt with home equity debt, it's fully dischargeable when you stop paying your mortgage and squat in said home for three years until they kick your ass out! Truly AF this is the best way to stick the big fat one to the banksters.

Hospital Prices No Longer Secret As New Data Reveals Staggering Cost Differences,

Study: Tech Worker Shortage a Myth,
Quigley said:
I just read a book Id like to recommend, for anyone who loves technology and science, even if those careers can pay dick at times. "The Martian" by Andy Weir is about a near future astronaut who gets left behind on Mars when his team bugs out to avoid a storm. It's chock full of geeky math and science and geek humor. I about had a nerdgasm reading it! Awesome.

Oye Como Libs,
Quigley said:
Just make the ones here legal and then close the borders to non passport holders. That would really fuck over the business interests who make money on the backs of people who can't object or they'll get deported. If everyone is equal then everyone can join unions, fight for a decent wage, and pay a fair share of taxes. And we can stop undercutting American workers with "cheap" illegal labor.
It's good for Latinos, better for the rest of us. The solution is to give them what they want! Kind of like gay marriage. Once the homos got it, they'll realize what a PITA it is and try to give it back. - On 6 May 2013

Crony capitalism = both a corruption of capitalism and a corruption of morals,
Quigley said:
The problem with free capitalism is lack of restraint and unethical measures to get profits. See Chinese infant formula laced with melamine to increase protein content.
The problem with government controlled markets is twofold: 1) government can never respond swiftly enough to market forces and ends up strangling the economy. 2) Business and corporations can buy influence with government and soon wind up controlling themselves, so you have the first scenario anyway.There is no elegant solution. A well functioning economy requires constant vigilance and constant adaptation. It's like any natural system, it requires finely tuned BALANCE to survive and thrive. Take your blood chemistry. Your body must control it's PH between 7.51 and 7.56 or it will have trouble functioning. Carefully balancing acid intake and acid production (CO2) with elimination (exhaling), it maintains an exact acidity perfect for life.
Markets are less particular, but a balance is still critical. - On 6 May 2013

What Happens to the Housing Market When the Investors Leave?,
Quigley said:
Yah it's so obvious at this point that the game is rigged. No matter what happens, the government will not allow housing prices to drop again. That much seems clear. Talking about market forces is a waste of time. The forces at work here are much more powerful and underhanded.
Pkennedy is right. Investors will just be priced out. They already are priced out where I live, unless the rare auction happens and gives them an opportunity. Everything else is getting bid up. The myth of all cash offers trumping all is overblown. Scenario: house offered at 550k. Investor offers 535k cash. Three qualified loan users with lots of paper to support their credit worthiness offer in a range from 555-565k. Seller wants more money and there's little risk going with the higher offer. In this market, if one buyer falls through, there are five or ten more to step in.

Former Landlord asking me politely for more money for cleaning/fixing,
Quigley said:
I have a good landlord. I'm a good tenant. The relationship is balanced and keeps both parties happy. He put in a new AC unit three years ago, and hasn't raised our rent in four years. We pay our rent on time and rarely bother him with issues. Honestly it's been very pain free to rent here. I think landlords often appreciate good tenants. It's all too easy for them to get stuck with deadbeats or other riffraff. When they get good tenants, the smart landlords value them.

Food inflation: Forget it,
Quigley said:
I usually go to the fish market really really early and get about 75 pounds of fish and shrimp. Tuna is going for about 5$ a pound there, and shrimp varies depending on the kind u get. Tiger prawns can be 7-8 bucks shelled, or cocktail shrimp around 3-4 bucks.
If you have a deep freezer you can avoid paying supermarket retail. - On 2 May 2013

So, it looks like our shadow government has been up to it again!,
Quigley said:
Calling someone crazy whose version of the truth differs from your own is called "gas lighting" and it's a favorite trick of sociopaths.
There's only one real version of the truth.
Other versions can be misguided, agenda driven, or just totally fucking stupid. Society has to have standards and those standards have been breached in this thread.
Freedom of speech sh**head! You won't push thought crime down my throat today! Society standards, my hairy ass! A more fickle and arbitrary set of principles could not possibly be invented!

What ever the reason for Boston is nothing compared to:
Conspiracy,False Flag, Smoke & Mirrors,Misdirection leading to Death & Injury to American soldiers,Loss of American treasure, Death & Injury to innocent Iraqis, etc. caused "buy" Bush's & the Republicans Lie of Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Wonder if Boston has any relation to American invasions or military attacks on Muslim countries?
Now you're getting somewhere! All the hype about Iran that has been playing in the news has had a purpose: popular support of a war with Iran. Problem is, people are sick of war. It's not getting any traction with the public. The shadow government and the war profiteers are pissed about this. So how do you shift opinion towards war? Large public terror attacks on home ground sure did the trick back in on 9/11. But letting that happen/orchestrating that to happen now after funding the most massive government addition of Homeland Security and ramping up all funding for intelligence agencies would seem like a failure for them. So small scale is what's left.
Only thing that might surely work is a nuclear blast on a major american city. Let's hope the public can be persuaded of the necessity of another Mideast war without resorting to that!

I've never been so depressed over the state of American intellect before. It's like a dystopian nightmare.
Even in the movie Idiocracy people weren't this stupid.
Typical Internet shill: resort to calling people stupid when his argument sucks. Classy stuff Iwog, how much do they pay you a year to work at that propaganda center? You've proven yourself to be a tool of the oppressors. What makes you think you have any credibility here at all? Let alone so very much that your verdict of "idiot" has any weight here?

I dunno. I wasn't at sandy hook or the Boston marathon this year. All I know us what I saw on tv and what news networks told me. Since I know they regularly lie and are tools of the government and the wealthy elite, why should I take their words as truth?
I do have a friend who ran the BM this year. She was done and in a hotel room with her family when this news was reported, so again no eye witnesses I know who can be trusted.
There have been a lot of issues raised about this event. One is the timing. Why then, when most everyone was done running and the crowds were much thinner? It would fit the model of a false flag attack where everyone could then be "managed," where in a crowd that wouldn't be the case.
Also, when they located the younger brother in the boat, they shot him a bunch of times first, then went to see what they had left. If they wanted him alive for questions they would have done this differently. If they wanted him conveniently dead and unable to deny participation in attacks, they would try to ensure the death of both suspects, which they did.
I think we never know the truth. We only know "the story." - On 30 Apr 2013

Another Christian terrorist attack that nobody is talking about,
Quigley said:
Christians kill each other every day. Many of the gang homies are from nominally Christian families, as are the chollos who roll up to trade shots with them. They kill each other plenty good. The difference is something which eludes you. Christianity does not teach its followers to commit acts of violence (and don't bring in irrelevant Old Testament crap to argue me in this.) Islam has many passages which encourage violence for religious reasons against sinners and infidels. And worse, this is accepted doctrine among many Muslims. Numbers don't lie homeboy. No matter how much you'd like them to.

Doctors blast ethics of $100,000 cancer drugs,
Quigley said:
Republican, democrat, what's the difference? Both parties pass pro-monopoly, pro-corporate, anti-middle class laws when they get to power. Both send troops to die in foreign countries that hate us on "humanitarian" missions to enhance war industry profit margins.
The only difference between the parties are their justifications.
When the Bush administration bailed out the banks and revoked Glass-Steagal so they could hide their losses, they said it was to "save te economy." When Obama continued these policies, and enhanced them with stalling tactics like HAMP and later versions, he said it was to "help struggling homeowners."
The true purpose was to protect the wealthy, enrich them further, and ensure that people like me who pay their debts and save their earnings will never be able to purchase a home without being a debtor slave to a state controlled bank for our natural lives.
F em all. I hate both parties, and Iwog you are either blind or part of the problem, I'm not sure which. - On 29 Apr 2013

SoCal bidding wars and outrageous contingencies,
Quigley said:
I happen to have two leads for you. Both are 2000+ sqf horse properties, right next to each other. The owner is the same person and is in dire straights with not being able to rent them. One is rented but the other has not been for six months, and the rented one is losing renters next month. Nice clean houses, and big. I think if nobody buys one or rents for a lot soon then they will eventually be foreclosed. Contact me at quigley151@gmail.com for the address.
