Don't need to imagine, Australia did it!

What if they don't have the item I want? What if they don't have my size?

She has PHD in a gender theory spin off, her dissertation was about deconstructing gender norms in breakdancing.
Her dancing is awful, as evidenced by the 0 score.
She was clearly chosen not because of her skill, but because she has a woke gender degree.

Hahahahahahahaha hahahaha.
Sure, it had NOTHING to do with poor risk management and everything to do with not having all the cubicles full.
To fix this crisis the federal gov should ban all remote work and mandate 40 hours of cubicle time per human, per week.
@Lifeinvestmoney
Great idea!
And then we can have like, 1000 of these across the country.
And we can allow individuals to own a piece of the business via the stock market.
Everyone can be an STR investor, without taking on the debt and operational costs of individual properties!

This has got to be one of fintwits worst takes, ever.
1) where are you buying a house for $172k and collecting +$3k/mo in rent?
2) the dividend from $O is 100% profit. The "cash flow" from your rental is mostly eaten up by debt servicing and the cost of maintaining the

Iran was once a beautiful country. I have friends who were there during the revolution and were evacuated by their companies.

1) Crocs would be banned, immediately
2) tipping would be abolished, globally
3) I would invest as much money as possible in time travel research with an aim to send a team back to exterminate Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok before their creation.

Correct. And they achieved this by:
- copying foreign IP
- slave-like labor conditions
- massive government sponsorship of "private" industry

Saying "the narrative does not match reality" is not a conspiracy theory.
Back in my day, this was called "journalism" and we encouraged it.
More of this please, America.
We deserve it.

Bank: we ignored everything you said about "higher for longer" and hired our risk officers based on their pronouns and not their education. Bail us out!

Even better: put the house under a C corp, bankrupt the C corp but claim squatters rights on the property.
Now you have no monthly payments.

I have trouble believing this because the input numbers are so obviously wrong.

And the passenger numbers are wrong, too. Long haul flights are usually on planes like the Boeing 777-er which carry between 300-450

I believe it. There's an economic principle called "average propensity to spend/save" which has an elasticity element tied in to it.
People who spend 80% of $50k will spend 80% of $250k. Heck, maybe more once you consider the debt you can accrue at $250k

Well yes. It was a bit cheeky.
He was talking about it from a risk perspective- you give up a lot for relatively little (on paper) which is true.
Underscores the necessity to think carefully and spend time to find the "right" person to risk it all for.

Dudes just stacking leverage on leverage from one property/LLC to the next. I imagine the credit unions have no idea the amount of actual risk they're accepting on an individual loan basis. Every loan/LLC compounds the risk.
