“Don’t smash it up, she’s a sister!”
This shop manager protecting her business is spared by the thugs out of Muslim solidarity.
Still absolutely no connection to immigration.

Social security means we're effectively paying out of our own pocket to save retirees from having to sell their houses to us at market rates. The entire American economy exists to prop up the tyranny of the old over the young.
1. Homeowners track their estimated home values on Zillow and Redfin religiously
2. Those value estimates are based on recent historical comps of closed transactions
3. The market is frozen so those value estimates aren’t moving down to the true price at which the market would actually clear for a net-new listing put on the market today
4. High overlap between homeowners and stock owners, wealth effect means most homeowners dont *need* to sell. It would just be nice to sell if they could get the high price they think their home is worth
5. Due to frozen market and lack of recent comps to adjust value estimates down, homeowners believe their home is worth more than it actually is, and are enticed to list for “nice-to-have” sales at artificially high list prices
6. Due to overpriced listings the market stays frozen and the cycle reinforces itself
7. A small portion of buyers who *have to* buy do transact at those artificially high prices because they have no other choice
8. This provides just enough signal to keep the value estimates pinned artificially high
Cycle probably won’t break until homeowner move from “it would be nice to sell if I can get this price” to “I have to sell at any price”.
Which likely needs a stock market crash or recession
In the meantime prices will stay high but liquidity very low

“But what if you get a bad king?”
My brother in Christ, the most insane absolute monarch would ever dare to treat his people, his prize possession, with this level of contempt.
Part of the problem is that it is illegal for these companies to hire or even prefer Americans.
They cannot mention, discuss, or hint at possible problems with hiring foreign nationals for certain roles, not even ones from countries we are fighting wars with.

First date you gotta make her show you her TikTok algorithm because that is essentially what you will be dating.

True for women also
Another angle to this is that dogs effectively stumbled onto what is for them the equivalent of artificial superintelligence 20,000 years ago. The Singularity already happened for dogs. They live in a world they cannot understand, surrounded by miraculous wonders they take entirely for granted, their every need seen to by entities whose thoughts they cannot begin to fathom.
The result is that there are about a billion dogs on the planet now. Most of them are pretty happy. Almost none of them need to work. It worked out pretty well for them.

I saw a post years ago positing that to dogs humans are like elves, immortal and unchanging. It reckoned that greatest honor a dog could achieve was to be there to ease a human’s passing, not just because it was an event so rare that generations of dogs lived and died never even seeing them age, but in recognition of the many ancestors that the human had cared for during their long life.
