So they would intentionally run a controversial cover to drum up attention? That's just crazy enough to be plausible :)

Maybe! I dunno...I think it may even be more meta, maybe it's a reference to the myth that minorities blew up the housing market. Since that does seem to be a thing I guess...

Yeah a law passed in 1977 pushed Fannie and Freddie to relax underwriting standards in the 2000's coincidentally right when they could make the most money from MBS. Meanwhile during the bubble period over a third of mortgages went to people who owned more than one home.

True enough!

What does the subprime mortgage crisis have to do with flipping houses today? Mortgages are slightly easier to get now than one year ago and the subprime market is all but gone.

I think it's racist to consider the cover racist. It's a black family drawn by a Peruvian artist. Reaching to scrape around in the past for prejudice is ridiculous and by and large it is not black people who are benefiting from flipping houses now. A report came out this week that illustrated the growing wealth gap…

No no no. Offense is taken not given. And people are quick to jump to the fully-offended setting online. It's not like this woman is doing anything but procedures that the parents request. It's the same as tiptoeing around abortion, you don't like it – don't get one and STFU already.

Fine...she's adorable. I did have no opinion about her before now.

I think honestly you have this all wrong. His writing has helped me a ton and he seems very generous with his time and expertise. Full disclosure: I totally subscribed to his glutes program as soon as it came up and shit works. Period.

Eh I'm still going with the idea that people who don't exercise are lazy. Your comment does nothing to change my mind...

Agreed. Working out is hard, its supposed to be, but sometimes its hard in a fun way.

woops that's not what i meant.

Ooh, gotcha, that is pretty broad.

what does trans* mean with the asterisk?

Beauty is subjective. They're both lovely.

So...are we saying that Patrick Wilson is hotter than Donald Glover? Because...I don't get it. I haven't watched the episode and truly Hannah is a little hard to take this season, I can't help but wonder why ANYONE likes her.

I agree with you. It's kind of a drag dating someone who doesn't keep wine in his house, never has a drink with dinner – which is good because that does get pricey in restaurants. I felt a little sad when I realized we'd never split a bottle of wine. Of course on the plus side, when I get annoyed with him or we…

So...this is different but it's hard to be a pot smoker and date a non-smoker. Umm or the other way, not that I would know what that situation is like.

So...do you just come in sick? Doesn't that make everyone sick? Isn't that...bad?

Yay that's awesome! I thought only dogs looked to people to solve problems but cats must pick that up living with people.
