Hahaha - the left really can't meme - boomer knows his time is over and his kids if any hate him for destroying the budget so let's add insult to injury and go woke - nothing says virtue sniveling better than an old white boomer with an unfunny angry anti Trump sign.

They are still going to be sued, if they don't bake them for the faggots too.

The #1 predictor of real estate prices is job growth.

EXACTLY. JOBS JOBS JOBS but you have to take into account about job growth for companies that allow work from home (WFH) or remote work.

And I think Southern California which has become a liberal shithole is slowly losing more middle class jobs and will see a further exodus along with the San Fran Bay Area of middle class workers.

Like I said many times on Patnet and other sites, California's number 1 export is Democrat voters to Texas, Arizona, Nevada, etc. They get replaced with undocumented immigrants who seek sanctuary protection in California.

Why would I want to sell my house or rentals? I

Well, you'd want to sell the rentals because they suddenly became worth a lot less as Democrat/media Wuhan Virus panic cost literally tens of millions of people their jobs.

No job, no rent.

The Irish example shows us that moving monuments are part of social change rather than a simple erasure of history. It also reflects the importance of public space as a barometer of social and communal identity. Monuments don’t change and do their jobs very well, proclaiming their symbols in stone or bronze. However, the public space that flows around them changes very often. When the monuments don’t reflect their times, it can be time for them to move on.

Just another Far Leftist, she's a super huge feminist, wants "Positive" (aka Pozzed) spaces all over Ireland, and thinks Ireland has a Racist Problem despite being about 90% White and Catholic.

I’d be worried if this would have been a prolonged shutdown. But we are back in business and low wage jobs are hired back.

You are correct as low wage jobs get filled a lot faster than higher paying white collar jobs. I remember it took about 6 to 8 months to fill a federal government (GS - 13 level job). It took 8 months from the time of requesting to fill an empty position to the replacement worker's first day on the job.

At May's sales pace, it would take 4.8 months to exhaust the current inventory, up from 4.3 months a year ago. A six-to-seven-month supply is viewed as a healthy balance between supply and demand.

Last month, houses for sale typically stayed on the market for 26 days, down from 27 days in April, but matching the duration a year ago. Fifty-eight percent of homes sold in May were on the market for less than a month.

First-time buyers accounted for 34% of sales in May, down from 36% in April but up from 32% a year ago.

The Far-Left and the Far-Right Are Two Peas in a Pod

Stalin and Hitler were far left. What is your best example of far right?

I don't know about far right, because I simply don't even see it in existence, or whatever it means considering there is no far right today.

I do see that the left is so insane that the moment you simply disagree with them on anything, you get labeled a "far right", "something-ist, something-phobic", which is used as justification to hurt and kill. As far as I know normal people and healthy societies celebrate good things, like creation, productive and constructive behavior that leads to better life. But left today celebrates only destruction, degenerate behavior, and promotes everything that destroys America (or any society). Race riots, gays, abortions, sex work. It's just suicidal and stupid. And what does the left hate? Families, religion, patriotism, America (enough to remove all the founding fathers statues).

Left controls a lot today, media, social media, CA is completely gone left (propaganda works), many institutions. People are afraid to speak up against the left, because left wing inquisition comes at you fast, violence against people who disagree with the left is normalized and promoted.

Left vs right doesn't matter. Left are the assholes today who are destroying America.

Dunno, Stalin has been characterized as far-right sometimes. Agreed about Hitler tho, he is typical far-left.

HOW SIMILAR ARE THE FAR-LEFT AND THE FAR-RIGHT ?

Now you know damn well you've never seen an AR-15 with a Dildo Duct taped on the end!

This was a tragedy for Trump. The tobacco spittoons at the rally were only half full!

Be careful what you wish for. Left is not good.

Added more:

cancel cancel culture
resist the violent left
resist the intolerant left
protect our history
statues can't fight back, but we can

Adding:

democracy not mobs!
rule of law, not mob rule

People who say Hate Speech, just hate the people talking.

Oh, be real. The ultimate "far right" is an anarchist, who wants no government at all, while the "far left" wants total government control and ownership of everything. Don't even tell the far right anarchist what side of the street to drive on, while the far left would allow the government to assign him a wife.

HeadSet says

Liberals own Anarchy. I don't know one single Right conservative person that wants anarchy. Not one!

Just because someone doesn't like the Left's leadership, does not automatically make them a conservative rightwinger.

Far Right, simply means the crazier Liberals and the Left gets, the more they Object.

Tenpoundbass says

Anarchy as in no government, not the hooliganism going on in the streets.

So if far left means total government control perhaps the far right means total personal responsibility?

We give power to government to protect us and our rights.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Who cares? 2nd wave is coming and you already know it. I know you're gearing up for it.

Also, my SIL lives in Austria. They're not doing anything different than what's going on here in IL. Like zero. Our entire mortality rate is due to the fucking Cuomo retard that should likely be in jail for his dip shit moves.

Take out the Northeast and we're doing slightly better than the EU probably. You have New York ass holes that just killed a bunch of people for fun it appears. You also have countries counting deaths correctly in the EU, like Germany. Dying OF Covid versus dying WITH Covid. There's a neat little distinction there. We're mostly not doing that in the US. Colorado at least revised some numbers. We know high death count states won't though. There's a reason.

This depends on comorbidities, on average Americans are fat and unhealthy, and/or trans/lgbtqxyz+_---- which also comes with lower life expectancy. We're literally killing! grampas! and! homos!, but there's nothing to be done about it. Also as Wookie already observed and which I can corroborate, often old males are the ones not wearing masks and mingling happily and extensibly - good on them, there is more to life than hovering at home and being afraid! The curves look pretty much the same once you correct for the slightly but measurably unhealthier average American and the difference in counting (the EU does not count everything as a Covid-19 death just because the patient tested positive or was presumed positive).

Here's what I learned about New Jersey. Not only did we send all the Wuhan Virus patients into nursing homes, but we diverted all the PPE from nursing homes to hospitals in March and April. The nursing homes, as a result, were set up to inflict mass amounts of death through no fault of their own.

Social Security will have huge $$$avings! Win-Win!

U sure 'bout that?

So if far left means total government control perhaps the far right means total personal responsibility?

Well put.

The best part of that entire analysis was the reference to this “horseshoe theory” where the left and right wings bend around towards each other.

This is ALMOST true. The truth is that the political spectrum is a circle, and the left and right wing extremists meet at the intersection of totalitarianism. Bookended on the left with Communism and on the right with Fascism, nevertheless each side slips with undeniable gravity to Totalitarianism. Communism and Fascism are transitory states, full of ideals which are wholly unworkable in practice. Those in charge will try to make them work, but to do so they have to resort to Totalitarian control of ever more harsh constraint.

On the other end of the circle ⭕️ is Anarchy. It’s bookended by Libertarianism on the right and Democracy on the left. Once again, both states are transitory, but the slippage tends to be AWAY from Anarchy instead of towards it. Indeed if anarchy becomes the political state, society recoils from it immediately in horror, willing to accept any other system of government.
This is why totalitarian governments are so frequently established after a period of anarchy.

Deaths are all that matter.



F'CCP - You got a link to those graphs? I'm interested in what the data is and does it account for aging population? As boomers age, more people are going to die annually than the previous year. Basically, is this what naturally would have happened? The graphs look like gross deaths and not an average. Basically we could see another peak every year for the next 20 years that coincides with flu season as boomers pass and even older people pass.

I still think "attributed deaths" is garbage and the only meaningful number is excess deaths.

Maybe this explains the difference...

1990s the economy was on a roar just given by the velocity of money.

But notice it has steadily decreased since then despite major market upticks like 2003 to 2007, and 2010 to 2020.

Indeed. The markets are best understood as a graph of rich people’s feelings. Dog their heels or (if you can) stay one step ahead of them. They determine the market, not economic forces or whatever. It’s all about the rich people and how their feelz are doing.
