If she likes it so much she should have taken it for herself.

I’m sorry but what else did Sidibe  have to do besides promoting the movie? Monique did make major appearances like on Oprah,but she didn’t want to put her life on hold for a year to go every hick festival and party. She had  day jobs and financial obligations. Should she quit her paid jobs and lose her home to give a…

The problem is that the places where no one wants to live are disliked for a reason and that reason is that there are no good jobs there.

No, I’m snarky for someone who understands economics. What 40% of your money going towards rent means is that salaries haven’t kept up with inflation while housing costs have and then some. Since the cheaper housing area is cheaper because it has little or no job creation, you will be paid even less if you do find a…

Maybe early on it was about how it was sensationalized, but for the last 20-25 years, what’s kept it in people’s mind is the numerous attempts to get out on parole. If he’d been executed by the mid-seventies, there wouldn’t be periodical recaps of what he did so I doubt most people would be thinking about him or his…

The problem is also that your friend is assuming that if things got rough, it would only be happening to him so others could buy his home and maybe leave him a bit ahead. What’s more likely is that things get rough for him because they’re rough for everyone around him and it will take him months or years  to sell that…

Really!?! You don’t say. Isn’t it sad that no thinks to tell their employer to move their job to a city with affordable housing? And no one tells places with cheap housing to create jobs?

The median house price is 189,000 because the calculations includes millions of homes in declining cities and states where no one can be sure of gainful employment for 40 years.

It can be done but should it be if it takes decades? Paying off a mortgage also takes decades so if a 40 or 50 year old finally has the down payment they’d be 70 or 80 years old by the time the house was paid for. Retirement age is at 65 for most and I don’t know many pensioners who could afford the same mortgage as…

What city with a future has homes or condos selling for 100 000$ ?!?

The average house in cities with a future are a quarter of a million dollars or more. Unless you’re earning a fortune what belt tightening could you do that would get you a down payment of 25-50 thousand dollars? Keep in mind that as you’d be saving, house prices would rise by at least a few thousand dollars a year…

And by the time the thirteen years of savings add up housing prices will have doubled and it still wouldn’t be a down payment.

It’s funny that they can’t understand this. What does the wealth around you matter since it isn’t yours and doesn’t give you any more control than if you were a plant?

Nothing can be justice for the victim. She can’t come back and live the long full life she should have had a chance to live. The criminal’s punishment is to serve as an example to those thinking of doing the same thing and to do it in a tiny cell for the next 49 years if possible.

I see it this way, there are already people who couldn’t tell you who Tim McVeigh is without Googling it, his crime is already becoming a distant memory. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t know who Charles Manson is, what he did, and that he’s in jail for it.

Death would be too swift. Soon no one would remember the guy who was executed for killing a transgender woman.

He is! When I want to skip the gym I remember the seniors’ weightlifting class is always packed and get going.

That and don’t they get that no matter how much time this posing takes up the housekeeper won’t be cut any slack if things aren’t in order by the time she leaves or turns in?

There’s this myth among older generations that because Millenials have a few gadgets and fancy coffee they’re spending their money like drunken sailors. I can’t think of a bigger lie: at their age, in the 90s, I and everyone else  spent a lot more on clothes, cosmetics, cars, concerts and restaurants. I knew no one…

How much shall we bet the model looks like the editor’s Mommy or the girl who never gave them the time of day?
