    Rent parties are back! Just without the jazz, and food, and booze, and community… But at least it’s monetized for a tech CEO! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent_party

    Well at least we’re great, again.

    Buckle up fam. This is a nation of dimwitted dumbfucks. It’s not going to get any better because we’re too stupid to vote for it to get better.

      I don’t think we were ever literally the best country, those tend to be the nordics. I believe (and I guess I should do some research) that “the greatest country on earth” was a marketing slogan. Like the local coffee shop that says they have the best coffee in the country or something. It was a very successful marketing campaign considering it’s still being believed and discussed.

    Anybody else notice a lot of houses for sale recently? Some near me are on the market for a long time.

      Most of the southeast in the US is in an early housing market collapse. New homes cost less than used inventory, which is a horrible sign. Inventory and time on market are also creeping up.

      I used to drive by these two houses in a rural neighborhood which had huge “trump” signs in their front lawns for years.
      Both houses recently replaced those signs with “for sale” signs.

      I had to laugh.

      Supposedly the real estate market is the worst it’s been since 1995. I guess if you are on the buying side, it might be ok. Not sure if recent/upcoming rate cuts will start showing up in mortgage rates…

        Hard to believe it’s worse than 2008. BTW 1995 and 2008 are the years I’ve bought houses. Get ready for that dip!

      I’m not driving between neighborhoods much, but I do see for sale signs here and there. What I notice a lot more, however, are tons of for lease signs in front of business real estate.

    Thank goodness - it’s so much better than it was under the (memory-hole version of) Biden’s economy! Doesn’t everyone else remember that total hellscape?

    – many “centrists”, some “leftists” and every single Taco cult member, probably
