Does China realize that they don’t look tough by doing this? Do you see American Marines beating up Mexican Coast Guard members? No. Because that’s what an insecure country does.
What is China doing about Israel and Palestine? Nothing, because the current Chinese government only cares about advancing Chinese interests. They are transactional.
That guy is just repeating what he heard on the radio or from some drunk guy at a bar. He’s not putting any thoughts into it.
Besides what you mentioned, there are pre-nups, post-nups, trusts, and other complicated ways that rich families use to protect their assets from gold-diggers. Marriage is a legal contract and it can be modified with other legal contracts.
In a lot of cases, “trust fund kids” don’t even own their house or car. It’s all held in a trust so no one, not even them, can have it. If they divorce there’s nothing to split but some cash and whatever furniture or toys they own.
In practice, I believe the pre or post-nup gives some consideration (money) to the spouse who isn’t rich so they won’t sue. But it’s not 50/50 because the trust fund kid legally doesn’t own much.
These are the people that everyone thought wouldn’t convict Trump. Convicting a white collar criminal is an easy warmup compared to this.
The real answer is to display all the other hundreds of Jewish laws in the classroom too, in the “spirit of the law”. Have a class lesson on Jewish law and its interpretation. Send the kids home asking questions about why cheeseburgers are immoral.
Supply of homes is not dynamic like a factory, it can’t respond quickly to prices. Investors will grumble about whatever they want, but the alternative is a time consuming and expensive sale.
Even then those homes don’t disappear . If they are removed from the rental market they will just end up sold to the very group of people who were renting them, thus reducing demand. Rents would not move much, although there will probably be more real estate sales than usual as the rental market sheds the lazier real estate investors.
Ukraine used to be part of the Soviet Union with Russia. They have a lot in common culturally. That’s why people are comparing them.
This is progress in the right direction, but people’s minds don’t change just because lines on a map do. But this is progress.
There are no “time cops” because even existing in the past changes things. It’s impossible to change the past and return to “the present” that you know. It would be a completely different timeline even if you just observe.
Reminder that Biden is decriminalizing weed:
There are already many restrictions on rental agreements. Things that were “normal” before are clearly illegal now.
Six day old account? Block!
You are assuming that market rent is not already as high as demand allows. That’s not true. It is. That’s the definition of market rent.
Good point. It’s not news that “you learned” something. What is your conclusion?. What is your reasoning? If it’s been said before, we can just read that.
Did you forget that Biden was in the Senate for decades? All they do is make speeches 99% of the time they are in the chamber.
Notice how Trump is only good in front of a friendly crowd. Biden has spoken publicly and privately in front of people who dislike him for most of his life. Biden is practicing now, and I suspect he will make Trump look like a fool.
Rent depends on the rental market, but most likely yes. That’s not different from now though. If you improve your rental property, you get more money from it.
You might not know this, but a mortgage being higher than the rent isn’t abnormal. In the past, when interest rates were 8% and rents were lower, you lost money on a rental property for the first few years. Property is not a license to print money. It’s an investment with costs and payoffs.
The property owner can pay off the mortgage early with the money. Or they can buy another place to rent out. Or diversify into other kinds of investments. No one is banned from anything.
They are paying you for the property. If you don’t want that, why do you rent it out? You can’t use it once they lease it from you. You’re a financial owner, not a resident anymore.
Why would one more person who’s interested in buying the property hurt? When you sell a home are you upset that people want to hand you money? No, because you are moving out and it’s now a financial decision.
That’s another benefit: you might improve the home to maximize the appraisal. That would help tenants.
Of course your property tax would be based on a higher appraisal too, so you probably wouldn’t go overboard.
True, but don’t underestimate the value of finding a good tenant. Most landlords would rather have a stable tenant than a few extra $100s. It costs a month or more in rent to find a new person.
Here’s what you’re forgetting: as a percent owner in the home you are entitled to a portion of the rent and a portion of the sale price. As you buy more, your rent goes down. You are saving money.
True but what the poster said is important: polls do not work well in close races because they don’t sample correctly. The average poll respondent is older, whiter, and more conservative than the average voter. So you end up with a skewed sample. Plus you sample so few of the other voters that you can’t make a guess as to what they think.
No younger people answer the phone for pollsters, so this is hard to fix. They are probably going to have to start paying people to answer surveys. I know I won’t answer them for 15 or 20 minutes for free.
