Doesn't change the facts that
a) it exists
b) some parents will read it seriously to their children
c) it still contains the gun deaths don't matter because cars arguement.
A blind spots "infinite" space can be altered by moving your head around slightly. Which eliminates blind spots further out while there is often still a blind spot closer to the obstructions, such as an A pillar.
They need cars killing children to make the shootings deaths look less significant in the grand scheme of things.
Edit:here is a link to a CHILDREN'S book about why everyone needs an AR-15. it also includes a section about gun deaths are irrelevant because car deaths, as read by this youtuber around the 10:15 mark. I couldn't find an online source with the full book.
I've always found it somewhat concerning the way birth control was pushed. It seems most girls past puberty are told by their parents they need them to be safe and aren't given any information beyond that. It doesn't feel like informed consent.
I think a big part of the supply problem and the generational difference in ownership is the size creep of homes. Homes have been getting bigger and bigger to support the same sized families meanwhile wages have stagnated. Thats all extra flooring, walls, insulation, labor to build, energy to heat, wires to run, property taxes to pay etc. We need to change the way the supply is skewed and start offering more reasonably sized homes.
Sure if you want and can afford a 2500+ sqft 3 storey house then shop for that, we build lots of those, but we don't build lots of 500-1200 sqft homes which reflect the size of starter homes from decades ago. Many homes this size need to be custom built or are built by smaller developers. We don't see entire neighborhoods of these sized homes anymore. Same goes for apartments, they've experienced luxury condo creep despite demand for that level of luxury being met already.
It would have taken a lot longer for me to build the capital for a down payment if I wasn't frugal. It helped me save and invest a little extra each month.
I've been diversifying into some long term stock options in some of my savings accounts. I live quite frugally so I am able to still save a bit while paying a bit extra to my mortgage. So far I've done pretty good in the markets but my trading accounts aren't significant sums of money, when they do well I sometimes wish I invested more but when a stock is down bad I'm reminded why I keep those sums low.
People underestimate what even $50 a month can do over time. Sure it might not be down payment money but it could be enough to build a safety net so you can try a new job or move somewhere else with a bit more behind you.
I didn't start having meaningful savings until my mid 20s. When i bought a house paying off the mortgage became a priority over saving for retirement. I'll be better off paying less interest and reducing my expenses faster than I would be collecting interest on that money. In theory i could out perform my mortgage interest rate by trading stocks, but that is a lot riskier than paying off the mortgage.
I would rather flee the country with $955 to my name than with nothing. I'm not saying its easy or a fair system but not even attempting to save because of how fucked things are is just a terrible strategy.
Even without trump, ICE is designed to be abused like this legally speaking, it needs to be abolished.
