First, that's not my name. Second, you say you don't get why people bother with me, but you are bothering with me. Nobody is forcing you or anyone else to respond to me and/or talk about me.
I am not going to defend Biden "no matter what." I have plenty of criticisms of Biden. I'm merely pointing out what you've gotten wrong or omitted in response to, respectfully, what I think most people would call your shitposts.
As for "Biden disaster," Biden had an approval rating of 63% on May 10. The former president had a 38.6% aggregate approval rating when he left office. I think it's clear who the disaster was, which is probably part of why Biden defeated his predecessor. Thank you for the reminder.
You aren't being accountable to the fact I've plainly stated that there is a limitation of job growth to available workforce. You suggest that job growth rate can and should continually accelerate, exceding available workforce, in a successful political-economic environment.
Oh, you saw it this time. Does this mean you can acknowledge that there is a limitation of job growth rate to available workforce? Or are you being coy?
There's no evidence that's what happened during the former administration, or the one before that.
There are no reports what she ate for breakfast, or the last time she took a dump.
It's the same thinking that results in black people being pulled over because police have no evidence that the black person could afford a nice car.
Like every other thought you have, it's delusional.
Is that worse than Trump whose goal was to continue using fossil fuels and didn't care who he hurt in the process? Do you care who you hurt by continuing to use fossil fuels?
And still Trump did it.
It's good to see that the majority of the US people saw through the deception in the end.
Yes, you can keep hiring people at 0% unemployement because of immigration.

The goal is to reduce and largely eliminate the use of fossil fuels, but nobody in the Democratic Party wants to do that by suddenly taking away physical access to gasoline. That would be an economic nightmare. What's going on now is the result of a cyber attack.
What we need to do is eliminate tax subsides for the oil industry, raise taxes on gasoline (this can be a slow process that speeds up over time), give more credits for purchasing electric cars, ban (or disincentivize with taxes) the sale of gas vehicles, and expand the EV charging infrastructure.
Note: The above specifically focuses on vehicles and not the larger issue of renewable energy.
The $1.4m is the total of the three, so I think you've double counted the first two properties.
One of the Los Angeles properties cost $510,000 when Khan-Cullors purchased it in 2016. A second Los Angeles home ran her $590,000 in 2018, the Post reported. A suburban Atlanta property was purchased for $415,000 in 2020.
In terms of buy to let properties, that is totally reasonable.
Quite how you got to $3.2 million is another matter.

The amnesia strikes again - let me help. She bought 3 (that's t-h-r-e-e) properties in Los Angeles, California and 1 (that's o-n-e) property in Atlanta, Georgia. The LA properties (again, t-h-r-e-e of them) were purchased for $510k, $590k and $1.4m respectively, the first 2 (t-w-o) in 2016, the 3rd (t-h-i-r-d) this year. *In addition* to those 3 (t-h-r-e-e) LA properties she also purchased a 4th (f-o-u-r-t-h) property in Georgia in 2020 which we didn't know the value of - thank you for supplying it, it was $415k, that makes things easier. She spent a little shy of $3m.
We also know that her portfolio, at present, is valued at $3.2m due to appreciation. Are we done doing basic math here? Because I'm done talking about this. If you think a loan that size, or anywhere close to it, is sensible in any shape or form to a bank that exists on planet Earth then there's no point in discussing this with me, I don't deal with delusion and I'm done deliberating hypothetical scenarios of mortgages that you pulled out of a hat and have no evidence for. Oh, and before you say "but Foxi, she might have multiple mortgages", debt is cumulative. She would not be approved based on her known stated income, even with appearance fees and the proceeds from the book.
EDIT: As an interesting side note, Cullors' non-profit Dignity and Power Now has failed to supply an audited financial statement necessary to retain its status as a non-profit, as a result their 2019 tax filings were rejected and after being warned by the AG multiple times they're making moves to relocate to a different state, presumably North Carolina, instead of accurately reporting their financial to the IRS...

...which makes it seem like there's financial impropriety going on. The organisation currently has delinquent status, but it seems that it's still operating regardless. Dignity and Power Now reported no payments made to Cullors in their rejected filings, which is very curious considering she's the chair of the organisation. If course she might be working for free and making no income from that organisation - likely story, and one that further undermines your imaginary mortgage theory.

The Biden economy everyone
Gas prices are rising. Auto prices are soaring. Consumer goods companies are charging more for household basics like toilet paper, peanut butter and soft drinks. All of which is resurrecting fears of an economic threat: Runaway inflation. https://t.co/OW1bhjpyd4

You probably shouldn't be bringing attention to direct consequences of the March-April part of the pandemic in 2020, considering it happened under the former administration.
it only took Biden 6 months to rek everything
i preferred the mean tweets atleast the middle east wasn't turning into a warzone

Bro, you said it yourself
The government owned the means of production in fascist Germany, socialism is the people owning the means of production
They are polar opposites
this is incoherent, dude
please, just understand that you are mistaken about so many things, and you can rectify this by doing just a tiny bit of reading about the difference between the concepts of fascism, communism and socialism
socialism is primarily about redistributing wealth and power to make the system bottom-up, where the masses control the means of production through direct democracy in workplaces and government
communism is a governmental ownership of most goods, services and properties, with the intent to eliminate classes in society through an equal distribution of wealth to all, headed by a ruling council, preferably of unions, but it has never been achieved, since the primary examples were two-class societies, rather than the end-goal of a no-class society
fascism is a totalitarian ideology held up by a single dictator with a cult of personality, all but a monarch, with a rigid hierarchy of citizens, usually divided by race more so than class
they are not compatible at all
all three are very different
The inflation you're referencing is a consequence of recovering from the worst economy since the Great Depression. You can, in part, thank the last administration for that.
This is probably the most absurd thing you've ever posted, and that's saying something.
when you're thinking about responding to valwinz, here's a helpful acronym:
D.O.N.T!
Don't do it
Oh, don't do it
Never do it
The hell are you still reading this for
yeah, but it also causes it to intensify its cringeposting
remember, D.O.N.T!

I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though -

If you want a good system to port it to, at least have a good programmer and knowledge.
