I was gonna say, land agreements with Native Americans were violated quicker than they could be signed, and eminent domain has been used to pave over countless minority neighbourhoods, but suddenly a deed for a statue is impossible to get out of?

The US always honors their deals*!

I’m submitting this piece for a Pulitzer.

That is...depressing.

The sad part is he doesn’t even live with her, just in her house - Mom moved to FL last year fulltime near me - bought herself a condo. Dipshit kid brother has the whole 3br 2ba bottom level of the house to himself, the wife, and a pack of dogs. She rents the upstairs 1bd 1ba where she lived to a tenant. But she could…

If he was thinking of his child’s safety, he’d not have a shit-eating grin on his face! 

Even while the kid was basically saying “Dad I don’t like this. YOU are scaring me, take me out of this situation” - he doesn’t give a shit about his kid and doesn’t even acknowledge him.

You’d think a dude with Cuck in his name would learn to lay low.

He still doesn’t get it. White people always have an excuse for why they aren’t racist. That’s the problem. Most white folks are exactly like him in that they don’t know (or acknowledge) that they may be racist.

“My father was murdered outside his home by a trespasser who he confronted alone”

“For my child’s safety...”

No, no, mofo. If you were afraid of your “child’s safety” you wouldn’t have confronted a “trespasser” at all. If you were truly afraid because of your dad’s story, you would NOT have “confronted a trespasser”…

I think the point is that if you’re in a rental and you’re thinking about taking out a loan to make the next month... you’re already done. If you actually take that loan, you’ll be worse than done.   This kind of thing will certainly drive up suicide rates. 

The one with the six-month grace period sounds okay if you’re between jobs and are fairly confident you’ll get one in a few months. A 15%-17% interest rate on rent payments is going to snowball quickly and brutally.

Loans to pay your rent? The Economy is fine y’all! No need to worry! Unemployment is at 4%! The Stockmarket is the highest it’s ever been!

This is Payday lending dressed up in a three-piece, predatory actions and everything.

It’s for the kinds of delusional people who think that they’re just one break away (a promotion, a raise, a tax refund, whatever) from finally getting back to only slightly underwater. Same principle behind a gambler borrowing money for another deal of the cards.

But wait, though...

This kind of financing is just a way to put off the inevitable. Once you’re forced into taking out loans to pay your rent, you’re not long for that particular residence.

Ok you’ve got me.

What compromising photographs did you have in your back pocket?

Literally last weekend.
