What’s your return on 30 years of monthly rent?

Many homes purchased in 2014 in a decent metropolitan area have already doubled in value. And it’s not written in stone that you have have to take 30 years to pay it off. Extra principal payments add up over time. I wouldn’t buy a home as an “investment”, but I sure don’t want to 1) pay someone else’s mortgage with…

That may or may not be true, but if you decide to move you still get proceeds from the sale. If you were to rent for that entire time you’d be out every cent you spent. 

I am immediately skeptical of anyone saying buying a home is not an investment.  You need to pay for that shelter anyways and that money is going right into someone else’s mortgage.  IF you can buy a house (a tough task to be sure), your dollars used to buy that home will likely improve with the market around you,…

The abysmal saving rates are low because the prime interest rate is so low. You save money in saving account because it’s liquid and easy to access and you earn a bit of money on it.

Talk show hosts are but it says that her show is included under the strike, so it seems shitty to reformat her struck show to be a non-struck show when it was previously of a format that fell under the strike.

The buying a house one is flatly wrong. There are definitely inopportune times to buy (this being one of them), but for a myriad of reasons, not the least of which that the US – and to some extent global – housing machine is a beast that far too many people, businesses, and governments have interest in continuing till…

It undermines the strike, as she has a writer’s room that doesn’t get paid well, while she makes big $$. More, she’s perpetuating filmed entertainment on a station owned by a big AMPTP member, thus alleviating a small amount of pressure on AMPTP members who should be the bad guys to the public for holding up all of…

All technicalities aside, this feels like a bad decision. Support the strike, support the strikers. If screens go dark until people are paid fairly for their labour and skills, so be it.

Who would’ve thought the plucky couple from “Fever Pitch” would turn out to be hosts of TV talk shows and outed as assholes within the very same week?

I fully acknowledge that I don’t know the mechanics of unions and striking as I’ve never had a union job, but I don’t see how this isn’t scabbing, and I don’t see how she even attempted to explain how this isn’t scabbing. “We were made for sensitive times”? Okay...but you’re making a show that previously employed…

I don’t find the words of police sergeants very compelling, if I’m honest.

A failing of humanity writ large is overvaluing the personal/anecdotal evidence over mountains of evidence in the opposite direction. Unless you believe somebody was wrongly convicted, arguing for leniency on their behalf is more or less just saying “my experiences with that person weren’t where he raped anybody I…

“If I had a family member or close friend that was convicted of a crime, even a particularly disgusting one such as rape, it would be pretty hard to refuse a request to write about any redeeming values that might lighten the sentence. It would be akin to disowning them entirely.”
I don’t know if you’re a serial troll…

I don’t f*ck with instagram, but I was sexually assaulted by my sister’s husband the first time he visited our home. I was 15. I have just now spoken up after I won’t say how many many years. I don’t care what anyone thinks of me, but he has spent decades shit talking so many people that perhaps the ‘wheel’ will come…

Damn, that really nails Assy and Mila hard! Worth the click! I guess Assy calling the RAPE Victims ‘crazy fucking bitches’ wouldn’t have played as well now as it did the last time they slung that nastiness out? From the timing of past instances that shoots down any further attempts to sweep it under the carpet, but…

Ah, the classic “sorry you took it that way”.

Rape? Bad. Rape by someone who shows up to work on time? Less bad.

John Lydon of the Sex Pistols also accused Saville in a BBC interview in 1978. And  before in 1976, Steve Jones called out BBC host Bill Grundy for being a creepy pervert around the girls who were accompanying the Sex Pistols.

Btwn this clip and the Fallon stuff from yesterday it’s an even bigger shame that Conan wasn’t kept as the Tonight Show host. Freaking Zucker.
