    I mean outside of America people have lost their jobs and their titles and potentially jail time due to appearing in the files. You can argue it’s not enough but I will stress outside of America there has been some semblance of accountability.

    In America absolutely nothing has happened. Nothing. Speaks volumes of the nation.

    The emperor is without his clothes. We all see it.

    I’ve been open variable I like that my rates went up and down with prime over the last 5 years but didn’t sit at an artificial low only to poison pill me at the end of the term. I’m renegotiating right now and as I told my broker if anyone tells me they know what the rates are going to do in 1 year let alone 6 months I have a bridge to sell them lol







  • Keep in mind this is anecdotal but at the same time I don’t think it’s unique.

    I understand the value of unions and I think the world is better off with them than without them.

    But

    Having worked in them as a teen I will say the union leadership is to not be trusted as much as the business owners. Birds of a feather. The problem is power and hierarchies.

    What I also did not appreciate as a union member was being told by people who have been there longer “stop working so hard the quotas will go up and we will be expected to make more” like wtf?

    I love unions in theory. In practice they’re just as corrupt because they don’t address the underlying problem if anything they put lipstick on the underlying problem.

    There are always going to be pros and cons to any situation but as a Canadian I’m thankful our system is setup where the amortization is set but you redo financing regularly. I’d hate to have to buy a house and be paying a set percentage the rest of the life of the mortgage it causes situations just like this.

    That said, I wish we could claim the interest paid on our homes with our taxes which we can’t.
