The problem with band aid solutions is that the actual necessary measures never happen because “well we put a band aid on it so it’s ok.”

Stay poor and don’t come crying when your rent increases again for the 7th time and you can’t afford it even though you work 7 jobs.

Owning your own home is an universal good thing for everyone in the entire world

You’re wasting money on upkeep regardless.

Bigots will use it, sure. Other people too.

Simply put DEI is racism and nothing good ever comes out of racism. It’s a piss poor solution. A band aid on a cancer tumor.

Equality begins at birth. Education, healthcare, welfare, etc. should all be free and available to everyone. This is how you beat discrimination.

When you’re a diversity hire, your talents and work will always be scrutinized harder than anyone else’s. Are you here because of your skills, or because you have the proper skin color and gender to fill the quota? It’s a struggle you will always deal with whether you like it or not.

Sure, whatever.

As long as DEI, Affirmative Action, positive discrimination, w/e state encouraged discrimination is called nowadays exists, people will always question whether someone is there on merit or if they’re here to fill a quota.

“you seem confused and lost”, says the guy who thinks spending half his income into funding someone else’s property is a good idea and a great retirement solution.

Also, no, I don’t live in Idaho, not everyone is a lazy ass American who thinks improving their life is paying for someone to do the laundry.

I love the implication that there’s no junk food restaurants in cities lmao.

I can bike to the nearest restaurant. It’s a small Indian mom and pop owned place that sells better food for cheaper price than anything in your city.

Keep begging for your walkable cities, I’m sure one day you’ll be able to cross a road without fearing for your life.

Cities are expensive because idiots would rather dump 2/3rd of their income on rent just to hear the neighbors screaming all day and night through the paper thin walls of their apartment.

Stay miserable.

“my quality of life would tank”, yet here you are pissing away half your income in rent lmao. Bet you think living in the city is amazing, while chugging 4 bottles if antidepressants a day because the last time your body breathed clean air was 30 years ago and the only tree in your neighborhood is fenced off to prevent homeless people from getting some shade.

Negative IQ all the way down the line. Stay miserable.

Better than living in a shithole urban area where the cheapest rent is 2/3rds of your income.

3. reach retirement age, still piss away half your income in rent, never improve your life.

You’re renting, you can literally grab a truck and move to a cheaper housing market with all your belongings overnight.

If you can pay rent, you can pay a mortgage.

At least the mortgage is benefiting you.

List of things you can do if houses are too expensive where you live:

1. move.

“you are not a serious person”, says the guy thinking pissing away their money in rent because they are too lazy to do laundry is a good tradeoff lmao.

You’ll be funding someone else’s property all your life like a servant just to save 15 minutes of folding clothes every week.

Sounds like you’re just making excuses for your lack of willpower.

If you’re able to pay for rent, you’re able to afford paying back a loan.

Imagine building a retirement fund and then pissing it half of it away because you’re still renting lmao.

Rent a cheap, shitty place

Save the money until you can afford to buy your own home.

They hired you, didn’t they?

Yes and no. Sometimes letting someone be stupid means they’re quickly replaced by someone hopefully less stupid.

EMP systems usually are heavily regulated for a very, very good handful of reasons.

I just shoot them with a pellet gun.
