Trump looks out the window of the Oval Office as GorillaPundit completes a review of the day's schedule.
"Aren't you supposed to be dealing with the press? Where's the little furry guy I hired as my emergency Shut-Down Chief of Staff?"
"He decided that he was going to drive the Air Force bus the congressional delegation was to get on."
"That was a week ago."
"He's not back yet with the bus. Neither is the condel, which is a plus."
"Oh. Any news on the SotU?"
"My sources say that Nancy Pelosi fears you giving the speech on TV."
"Afraid I'll one up her?"
"More like she's afraid that her caucus will lose what's left of their sanity and behave like a bunch of poo-tossing primates. She had to shutdown hard the opening act."
"Opening act?"
"Sandy and the Pussy Hats were going to get up and rap "We Shall Overcome" when you begin your speech. It seems the big toothed young one is very energetic, yet stupid. The House Judiciary Committee was going to burn Kegs Kavanaugh at the stake for the crime of breathing, and other were going to impeach you on the spot."
"For what?"
"It is sort of vague, sir." GP flips through his notes and looks embarrassed.
"Vague about what? What are the charges?"
"It just says "Orange Man Bad!" repeated several times along with "YEEEAARRGGHH!" and what looks like paste droppings."
"These mooks are nuts."
"That...is a fair assessment. Is there anything else?"
"Nah, just back up Sarah in case Acosta gets out of line again. Don't really hurt him bad, just muss up his hair. He'll be good if you threaten that."
After GP leaves Trump thinks. "Man, it's boring around here. What would be a good way of yanking everyone's chains? The fast food and pulling Nancy's jet privileges were good for last week, but today...hmmm."
He thinks.
"Something will come up, this is the world's largest open air asylum after all." Turning on the TV a report comes on.
"Hi, this is Caitlin and this is the Situation Room. Mr. Blitzer is on his spirit quest now advised by renowned professional Indian elder Nathan Phillips. He's been drumming for a week now. The main story is supposed to be about our Mecha Gap with China, but that's about dumb giant robots. Now for something important - boots! I just saw a pair on Amazon and they were so adorable!"

Not cool enough for soundcloud. In lieu: white supremacist capitalist heteropatriarchy is the problem; not all ideas are up for debate; some of my favourite thinkers are Sylvia Wynter, Patricia Hill Collins, Oyeronke Oyewumi, Kimberle Crenshaw, Christina Sharpe, Angela Davis.
[note: I removed all the diacritics in the lefty names]
If I may offer a translation:
"I don't have enough stamina, creativity or commitment to put out a podcast, but the real problem in my (and by extension everyone's) life is white people and their evil capitalism. My favorite authors agree with this premise - which is unsurprising, since I got my ideas from them."
What a buffoon. Here's her bio:
PhD candidate @LSEIRDept. Editor @millennjournal, vol. 48. IR. Food. Feminism. International justice. Coloniality. Humanity. Prefers questions to answers.
She's a catch, and definitely a keeper. Any of you 'rons needing a wife? This seems like the ideal candidate.

I like the way Bellei uses the indistinct background, although it is still clear enough to see some detail, to emphasize the women. Starting with their faces then continuing downward to their very ripe figures. Hubba Hubba!
I can see this hanging in a man's den or a bistro. It is a fun painting.

You won't get people who aren't Trump fans. Trump is the champion against the radical left that has taken over the cultural and government establishments, and that isn't an especially discrete ideological position (conservative vs. liberal, etc.). People who are opposed to those establishments support him, those who's rice bowls depend on that establishment oppose him. His conservatism is somewhat beside the point, I think.
The disestablishmentarians are the regressive Trumpists. The establishmentarians (or at least the anti-disestablishmentarians) - whether "conservative" or "liberal" or "Republican" or "Democrat" - are arrayed against him. Period.

Well I said rent, not mortgage. And that's sort of the point. For the under 30 set, mortgage is a 4 letter word. The yuuutes don't believe in buying homes (or cars or anything really). It's all about renting, gig economy, sharing (Uber, Air BnB), leasing phones, etc.

From what I understand of my generation, it's not that we don't want home ownership, it's that we generally can't afford it.
Of course, what that actually means is that they can't afford a house in Manhattan at 25, which virtually no one ever could do ever.
The idea of having to save for several years for a down payment on a starter home isn't that appealing to them who wants to live as easily as they imagine their parents did. Hell, they don't remember their parents' starter home, just the one they lived in from the age of 5-7 on, which was pretty nice.

In part. I am not the under-30 set, but I am not too far out of it (early 30s). I don't own a house, but not for those reasons. For me, it boils down to two primary factors:
1) It is a bad value where I live. Real estate is wickedly expensive and I can't justify that big a loan in a place that is going to the dogs (CO front range).
2) It hinders mobility. The job market can turn on a dime, especially in my industry (high tech). If you have a mortgage around your neck like a mill stone, then it can be harder to move where jobs can be found.
A lot of it is cavalier petulance and the incapacity or unwillingness to plan, but mobility is a big factor too.

That's true to a certain point. But as is often the case, milenials think they're the first generation that has ever moved for a job. I hate to break the news, but millions and millions of people have owned homes AND moved for job opportunities pre 2010.
I'm not saying buying a home is always a good idea. It's not. But long term, renting for a few decades vs owning for a few decades is a bad financial move. Even if you have to lose some money with an unexpected move, long term it's a better play.
I own several properties, so if every 30 year old wants to rent, fine by me. more tenants paying my mortgages for me. But if you make that choice, stop bitching about how you will never build wealth.

Strangely enough, my parents were able to purchase a home during the malaise of the 70s when interest rates were around 12%. Of course, it was 2 bedroom/1 bath place, and it stayed that way until I was 13. My siblings and I shared a room. It's a wonder we didn't all get ringworm.

I don't. The other side of the coin is that I rent well below my means and I save for the day that buying a house does make sense. Depending on region, there is a big difference between now and then with regards to selling a house as a part of moving for work. If your area has a heavily financialized housing market (most of the West, some of the East, less of the Midwest and South), then a job market reversal (local recession) will deflate housing more aggressively than it used to. The losses accumulate and accumulate quickly. There is a bigger first-mover advantage to getting the hell out than there was historically, which can make the losses extremely significant.
It's a complicated topic. Big factors are still the same, and both are bad in the Millenial (and likely the same in the Z) generation: employment opportunity and family formation. If you don't have a solid income at average or above, buying a house is hard. If you don't have a family, buying a house is often unnecessary. Millenials have a deficit in both. This is often self-inflicted, but that doesn't change the market dynamics.

I get it. And you do what you think is best for your situation. But you also make it sound like owning a place is a 30 year prison sentence or something. If you need to move, you sell. Yes there is a cost associated with that, but still it's not as permanent as you make it out to be.
To me real estate is like stocks. I dollar cost average my real estate portfolio. I've been buying properties for the past 12-13 years, in the bubble, in the crash and everything in between. Don't worry so much about prices, worry about cash flow. Prices will work themselves out.

National averages are meaningless in real estate, beyond *possibly* national policymaking points (and there should probably be no national policymaking for housing). Real estate is a local affair, as is income. Houses at 3x median income (which is a healthy price; 4x is doable but is a stretch, especially if you're past your late-20s/early-30s income surge and as interest rates rise) are very rare in many places, particularly in the West. Townhouses/condos are often easily found at those prices, but I for one don't find them remotely appealing.

I guess this is the biggest distinction between you and me. I view a house as a place to live - a very durable good - and not a financial asset. On that basis, housing where I am is ridiculously overpriced, as it is in many places where housing has become more about being an asset class than being shelter.
This has guided my decisions. I am saving my money until I can (hopefully) buy a place outright somewhere much cheaper and move. I'll take a big income hit, but I also won't much care because my largest structural expense - shelter - will be nearly zero (just taxes, insurance and maintenance) as compared to carrying the note or paying rent. Income goes a lot further when you have small housing expenses, and a smaller income means I will probably also not be working 60+ hours a week anymore, and life will get better.
I am investing in my future by renting. Everyone's position is different, but this makes sense for me at the moment. If things change (I get married, etc.) then those savings may well become a down payment here. Time will tell.

It seems like most people don't understand that one of the factors that sends housing prices through the ceiling is the local government's willingness to place lots of restrictions on any new construction (example - Portland, Ore.'s "Green Belt".) By limiting new housing, they vastly amplify the cost of old housing. (supply, demand, that kind of thing)
On the other hand, cities that encourage and enable new construction (most of the southern sun belt cities, for example) always have hundreds, if not thousands of new starter homes available.

I've never understood the passion behind preventing gentrification.
People in a crappy neighborhood sell to someone else. That someone else puts in time and money to improve the area, which increases the value of the house, and richer people move in.
Moving aside the racial aspect (which is, admittedly probably 75% of it), I guess it's about exploitation? The "someone else" "underpaid" for the property because they sold it for so much more?
Yeah...it's really dumb, but is that it?

Yeah This. The Kids I taugh in "poor" Schools had Xbox, flatties, nice watches, cellphones. Shopped on Black Friday. Of course we pay for all meals, housing, utilities, dental etc etc. so we pay nessessities and they can buy luxuries. That's why they changed "going hungry" To "food insecurity". So they could say "do you know where your next meals coming from?"... nope, could be pizza, or Kentucky Fried, or Ruby's. Not sure.

Fair enough. People mistake real estate as a financial asset in thinking it can be used as an ATM. And that is based on the assumption that real estate always increases in value (yes even post 2008 people still fucking think that).
But to me it's a financial instrument since it has an income stream and works like a bond essentially. Even if you live in a property, you're still renting out to yourself and the cash flow calculation applies.
I often hear people say something like it costs me $1000 to rent and would cost me $2000 to own the same thing. But are you taking into account that of the $2000, you're paying $400 (for example) towards your mortgage? And that $2000 will stay constant for 30 years, while your $1000 will increase by 3-5% every year? And the $400 also increases every month. Compound interest is a beautiful thing and so is the reverse of that, interest payback.
And with regards to mobility, renting isn't THAt mobile. You still sign a 12 month lease. If you decide to leave in month 3, you have 9 months of rent still liable for.

Definitely. It isn't a get out of jail free card by any means. After taking into account transaction fees (which are still very high in real property, though there are some lower-cost contenders slowly entering the market) and other disentangling costs, breaking the lease is often though not always a cheaper option.
And people also don't give interest rates that credence they deserve in housing prices. Most people don't buy a house - they buy a mortgage payment and many max out what they can carry on that payment. If interest rates rise (they are, slowly), then prices have to come down if incomes remain flat. Virtually no one in this housing market has been through a rising interest regime, as we've been in a falling interest regime for over 30 years.
I suspect a lot of generally sideways movement or modest downturns in real estate as people figure out that rising interest will reduce their prices if incomes do not also rise at least much on a month-by-month basis. Continually rising prices in an otherwise flat income landscape can only work in a falling rate environment.

If you could get down to the roots of the matter (which the commies won't admit), it comes down to two things.
The minorities who live there get pissed because they think they're being forcibly moved out of their traditional neighborhood by their slumlord landlords looking to cash in. Which in a few, VERY few instances might actually have some validity. But not enough to make for an actual argument.
But the big one is the pasty, creamy white and good for you limousine liberals that live in neighboring areas are thinking "Holy shit. Those brown people are gonna move HERE now!". Which is why they freak out when cities try to set up Section 8 housing in their neighborhoods.

Part of it. The other part is that the arrivistes can afford to pay Wegman prices, which drives out the Aldi, which pisses off the natives. Additionally, as the 'hood is improved, money is available to pay for politicians to increase security/policing, which cuts into the lamppost-corner slingin-dope industry.
But mostly it's about racism.

Knob and tube needs to go if you have it, but it was a safe and very durable method. Way better than the early romex, where the insulation became embrittled and started falling off the wires in about ten years.

I'm pretty sure Mittens and Juan wouldn't have nationalized health care nor would they have imposed thousands of new regulations that strangled businesses for 8 years.
Obama effectively stole trillions of dollars form the country in lost output during his rein of terror. And the ones hurt most by it were the 20-30 age group.

Eh, I can understand it, having lived in inexpensive neighborhoods filled with ethnic and old school businesses that suddenly became cool, so said businesses and small homes are replaced by high-rises and Starbucks, Gap, etc. It can be not all that different than, say, what's happened to Denver, where a bunch of Californians have moved in and remade it to look like their former home.

This is fun, since you aren't supposed to mate it to copper leads or fixtures. Your buy special fixtures, use No-lox (to avoid corrosion and make pig-tails (short lengths of copper wire to the fixture) or have house fires.
There's a reason why it was code here for about 15 years and then stopped.
Also, builders often dug pits and dumped vegetation removed when clearing lots. As the vegetation rots, wonderful cavities or trenches form in your yard, and collapse. If you're lucky. In some neighborhoods, you get methane pockets. If you're lucky, these get noticed, and vents are installed. If not, then you get explosions that take your mind off of the aluminium wiring.

When electricity was new, commodities (especially copper) were very expensive, as were industrial processes to deal with those commodities (insulation) but labor was cheap and plentiful. It was cheaper to pay people to run knob-and-tube and buy all the ceramic bits in a hugely complex exercise than it was to buy the more heavily-processed product.
This changed fairly quickly in urban areas as labor became scarcer and more expensive and industrial processes made the processed product much cheaper. It then radiated out from there. Knob-and-tube disappeared more quickly in major cities than it did in more rural areas, and it was largely economic as opposed to technological (though the two are of course related).
