I see dozens of houses for sale just driving around.

I don't think supply is the problem.

Houses are overvalued and sellers are too greedy to budge on the price.

just cause something is for sale doesn't mean the price or the condition is reasonable

think of it like you can go to ebay and find any item, but the price maybe be like hundreds or thousands above any reasonable price
would you suggest there is plenty of supply? no, that is not supply

Poor drivers and couriers get the short end since every package is well destroyed long before it touches their vans. Why you think big name shipping facilities like Amazon, Fedex, and UPS love to ban the use of phones?

The more fragile stickers you put on a box, the more it gets treated as a basketball at the warehouse. Also have you seen the shit Walmart uses to ship products in? I have never seen cardboard specifically developed to disintegrate upon contact with water.

none of the boxes in this video looked smooshed

I bought my first home recently in California because of a first time buyer program, and I would not have been able to if it werent for that program. And surprise, there was a lot of people against that too. People have talked s*** to me.. to my face, because I was able to buy a home with the program.

what kind of program was it?

the other bad thing is that this is a 2 year cushion that will result in many foreclosures when these people no longer get the $400 and realize they cannot afford the payment at this super high interest rate

but they will be rushed to buy because if they wait 2 years for the rate to drop they won't get the free money

just not a well thought out idea

Former President Trump said Friday he would roll back transgender student protections enacted last month by the Biden administration on day one of his presidency if he is reelected in November.

The Education Department in April unveiled a final set of sweeping changes to Title IX, the federal civil rights law preventing sex discrimination in schools and education programs that receive government funding. The new regulations, which are slated to take effect Aug. 1, cover discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity for the first time.

Were gonna end it on day one, Trump said Friday during an appearance on Kayal and Company, a conservative talk radio show in Philadelphia. Dont forget, that was done as an order from the president. That came down as an executive order. And were gonna change it on day one its gonna be changed.

President Biden in a 2021 executive order wrote that all students should be guaranteed an educational environment free from discrimination on the basis of sex, including discrimination in the form of sexual harassment, which encompasses sexual violence, and including discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

For students attending schools and other educational institutions that receive Federal financial assistance, this guarantee is codified, in part, in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Biden wrote in the executive order, which formally charged the Education Department with overhauling Title IX regulations instituted under Trump.

Tell your people not to worry about it, Trump told hosts Nick Kayal and Dawn Stensland on Friday, referring to the new Title IX rule. Itll be signed on day one. Itll be terminated.

Trump has also promised to enact at least a dozen policies targeting transgender rights as president, including a nationwide ban on transgender student-athletes competing in accordance with their gender identity and a federal law that recognizes only two genders. He has also vowed to punish health care providers who administer gender-affirming medical care to minors.

Although Title IX is a federal law, each administration takes a different approach to enforcing its regulations, which schools are then required to follow as a condition of receiving federal funding.
Republican governors, attorneys general and education officials have vowed to reject the laws expanded protections for transgender students, and school districts in their state have been instructed to ignore them. Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) this month ordered the state to defy the new regulations and said she would take legal action against the Biden administration for any financial loss, including loss of funding.

Lawsuits filed by more than a dozen Republican-led states this month allege the administrations rule undermines federal nondiscrimination protections for students who are not transgender and incorrectly applies the reasoning of a 2020 Supreme Court ruling that protects employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity to Title IX.
The lawsuits, a majority of which were filed in conservative jurisdictions, are expected to succeed in at least temporarily blocking the new Title IX regulations from taking effect this summer.
The Biden administration has yet to finalize a separate rule governing athletics eligibility. The proposal unveiled by the Education Department last year would prohibit schools from enacting policies that categorically ban transgender student-athletes from sports teams that match their gender identity.

This is clearly a bandaid, thats obvious. But when youre working with people who wont allow anything but a bandaid, and a lot of times, not even that, you take what you can get. Blaming Biden for doing something to try to help is backwards. Many first time buyers are going to benefit from this, as have many first time buyers benefited from many first time buyer support. Does it solve all the problems? No. Does it help people in need? Yes.

The other issue is whining about free money ruining the economy is a lot more effective than we give it credit for. I disagree and think that line of thinking is stupid but every day I meet another person in real life who buys it.

What dont you like about the idea? Are you also against other first time home buyer support?

Think about it like this. Why do houses go up? Because there is people buying. You give a bunch of buyers money to go buy a house, what happens? They go up. Then you have negated the check you gave them.

The solution is regulations and increasing supply by well, undoing regulations like certain nimby zoning restrictions. Also preventing corporate buyouts of homes and programs that monopolize the rent as we know exists.

Explain?

Combating skyrocketing housing prices isn't done by giving people a check every month. That just means people selling and landlords will get $400 richer a month.

This doesn't seem like the way to do it or is even a good idea.

Still better than what Trump is offering which is nothing but giving Oil Companies free reign.

Unless you guarantee at the 50k job I can't be fired?

Is investing considered getting a job?

Shouldn't be.

5k is better because the $50k job you can still be fired

The 5k even if you get a job if you lose it you get it

The 5k ia basically auto retirement ans you can get any job then quit whenever you want

'Everything has a price': Insiders say Trump secret offer left oil barons 'stunned'

Donald Trump made a transactional offer that reportedly "stunned" top oil executives at an event last month at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

One executive complained about environmental regulations they continued to face despite spending $400 million to lobby President Joe Biden's administration, and the former president pitched what some attendees perceived as a blunt and transactional offer, reported the Washington Post.
"Trumps response stunned several of the executives in the room overlooking the ocean: You all are wealthy enough, he said, that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House," the Post reported.

"At the dinner, he vowed to immediately reverse dozens of President Bidens environmental rules and policies and stop new ones from being enacted, according to people with knowledge of the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a private conversation."

The presumptive Republican nominee has already asked the oil industry to help craft his environmental agenda for a possible second term that would roll back Biden's mandates on clean energy and electric vehicles, and Trump told attendees over chopped steak that he would allow new offshore drilling, fast-track permits and relax other regulations.

Youve been waiting on a permit for five years, youll get it on Day 1, Trump told the executives, according to one attendee.

Biden constantly throws a wet blanket to the oil and gas industry, said Dan Eberhart, chief executive of the oil-field services company Canary. Trumps drill baby drill philosophy aligns much better with the oil patch than Bidens green-energy approach. Its a no-brainer.

Oil executives are intrigued by Trump's pitch, which Alex Witt, a senior adviser for oil and gas with Climate Power, said shows that "everything has a price" with the former president.
They got a great return on their investment during Trumps first term," Witt said, "and Trump is making it crystal clear that theyre in for an even bigger payout if hes re-elected."

tl;dr Biden isn't making them enough money.
Trump says make him president and the idea is they will have their dream come true.
