00:20 DaemonFC; https://www.npr.org/sections/goats-and-soda/2024/05/24/g-s1-882/negotiators-for-the-global-pandemic-treaty-couldnt-meet-their-deadline

00:20 TR Bot; The global pandemic treaty didn't meet its deadline : Goats and Soda : NPR

00:20 DaemonFC; "The world still needs a pandemic treaty."

00:20 DaemonFC; No.

00:20 DaemonFC; The US fared bad enough with its own stupid assholes shutting down most of the economy.

00:21 DaemonFC; The last thing we need is an international agreement with losers like Europe.

00:21 DaemonFC; The only country that did anything that made sense was Sweden.

00:21 DaemonFC; Put the old folks somewhere safer and realize that bad shit happens.

00:22 DaemonFC; Stop trying to live in some fantasy.

00:22 DaemonFC; Nobody complied with the lockdowns here.

00:23 DaemonFC; Instead of shaming white people and others for using public parks and stuff, why not blame black people for using the lockdowns as a way to have illegal house parties and spread COVID around waiting for someone to show up with a machine gun and add a mass shooting?

00:23 DaemonFC; They tried to gloss over things like that.

00:23 DaemonFC; So in the end everyone got COVID anyway and we would have been equally well off just giving them a week off work WHEN it happened.

00:24 DaemonFC; ". By one count, more than a million people died because dozens of poor countries had next to no vaccines while some wealthier nations were giving out boosters."

00:24 DaemonFC; Make up a number. The vaccines didn't work anywhere. They just had side effects. People got COVID anyway and those who died, died.

00:25 DaemonFC; Now they want you to get another shot every month and nobody even pays attention anymore.

00:25 DaemonFC; A few leftist rags running paid shit for vaccine companies still run scaremongering articles now and then.

00:25 MinceR; i wonder who told you that a vaccine only "works" if it has 100% efficacy with 1 dose

00:25 DaemonFC; But even they've mostly given up.

00:27 DaemonFC; MinceR: Apparently the Biden administration is going to delete most of the CDC articles on COVID in August.

00:27 DaemonFC; Although they may be archived somewhere.

00:27 DaemonFC; They don't want it to be easily accessible all of the disinformation and scare tactics they used.

00:28 MinceR; go archive them, then.

00:29 DaemonFC; They want people to forget that Biden was leaning on their boss to fire them if they didn't submit to a dangerous unethical medical experiment.

00:29 DaemonFC; And they're doing it in August because that's obviously when the Biden media will stop talking about COVID at all.

00:29 DaemonFC; They figure if people don't even remember it when they're voting he may just win by a hair.

00:30 DaemonFC; Most people forget nasty shit that was done to them after a year or two.

00:30 DaemonFC; Or at least the details of it.

00:31 DaemonFC; MinceR: 96% effective so 100% of them got COVID, just about 100%.

00:31 DaemonFC; And that makes the shots 96% effective.

00:34 MinceR; what makes you think 100% of them got it?

00:40 DaemonFC; Everyone I know who got the "vaccine" got COVID.

00:40 DaemonFC; And the "vaccine" didn't help much when they did.

00:40 DaemonFC; Most who didn't get the "vaccine" who got COVID barely even noticed it.

00:41 DaemonFC; The government hammed up a crisis to help some shadow government people sell a product.

00:41 DaemonFC; Which was dangerous, defective, and made things a fair bit worse.

00:42 DaemonFC; And because of this, people now don't trust the healthcare system at all and are not even vaccinating their kids for the Measles because they "have no idea what's really in that syringe", and that's their words you know.

00:42 DaemonFC; But it turns out, that a few years ago, they replaced the Measles vaccine I took when I was a kid.

00:42 DaemonFC; With another one, that had basically no widespread testing, because this one is more expensive.

00:43 DaemonFC; It sells for a lot more money and that's the feature.

00:43 DaemonFC; So it may work, it may not. It may be as safe as the MMR II, it might not be.

00:43 DaemonFC; They'll never tell you if they even know themselves.

00:43 DaemonFC; I hear some places still give the MMR II, and personally I'd go look for one of those places and look at the box to make sure.

00:43 MinceR; very scientific.

00:44 DaemonFC; These new vaccines are ran past a bunch of pharmaceutical lobbyists and dirty fucking politicians who appointed them to the FDA.

00:44 DaemonFC; And the FDA doesn't get any money unless it approves drugs, so it approves a lot of shit they never would have before, and they do it fast.

00:44 DaemonFC; That was a W-era "reform".

00:45 DaemonFC; It would be like saying the EPA doesn't get paid unless it approves a lot of oil drilling.

00:45 DaemonFC; It's the same concept.

00:45 DaemonFC; It just turns the regulation on top of its head and ensures that not only are drug company lobbyists doing the approving, but that the agency doesn't even have any money unless it approves a lot of nasty shit.

00:46 DaemonFC; So now we see the dam burst wide open and suddenly you get crap like Wegovy and Ozempic.

00:46 DaemonFC; Oh, and Aduhelm.

00:46 DaemonFC; Go look that one up.

00:46 DaemonFC; MinceR: I don't take any drugs that were approved since the mid 2000s or so.

00:49 DaemonFC; The FDA only exists in name only these days.

00:49 DaemonFC; Every gas station sells illegal drugs, and even "boner pills" with actual viagra in them.

00:49 DaemonFC; Nobody stops them.

00:50 DaemonFC; This gas station I stop at sells this "synthetic weed" called Delta-8.

00:50 DaemonFC; And you know, it's because scumbags and degenerates will smoke anything.

00:50 DaemonFC; And the government is so "concerned about health" apparently, that it doesn't care.

00:51 DaemonFC; I'm just there to buy gas and it just never ceases to amaze me that we've turned into a country where the gas station is a drug dealer.

00:51 DaemonFC; It shouldn't amaze me I guess.

00:51 DaemonFC; You let in a bunch of people from the uncivilized world, they're going to bring all the crap they're snorting and smoking and chewing with them.

00:53 DaemonFC; MinceR: This South Africa thing continues to roll on, you know.

00:53 DaemonFC; Screaming genocide, from a country that savagely murdered over 400,000 of its own people.

00:54 DaemonFC; With AIDS denial and an import ban on HIV drugs.

00:54 DaemonFC; Of course they want to deny AIDS.

00:54 DaemonFC; It's a very embarrassing problem they have with it, so they elect a government that denies it exists.

00:55 DaemonFC; While people are dropping like flies and in the aftermath of apartheid ending, the life expectancy dropping 8 years under the ANC.

00:56 DaemonFC; Probably never before has a first world country fell that much in such a short time and never recovered.

00:56 DaemonFC; In modern times, at least.

00:57 DaemonFC; South Africa was certainly never comparable to the Roman or even the British Empires.

00:57 DaemonFC; With territory spanning a few continents.

08:29 DaemonFC; Skill?

08:29 DaemonFC; I think it's more about attitudes.

08:29 DaemonFC; Boomers would drink water as they found it. They didn't need to spend 20 minutes at minimum wage (after tax) to buy a bottle of water, and would have laughed if anyone tried to charge them.

08:29 DaemonFC; Tap water is/was usually safe, and they didn't have to worry about it. They just got water from the hose when they were thirsty.

08:29 DaemonFC; If you were carrying around a canteen for your water (they didn't have bottles), then you had better be on a camping trip, or you were going to get a swirly.

08:29 DaemonFC; ---

08:29 DaemonFC; I don't think we should laugh about people who demand bottled water.

08:29 DaemonFC; I think we should just put a Dunce cap on them and sit them in the back of the room for a while.

08:30 DaemonFC; You have to carry around a bottle for water now.

08:30 DaemonFC; They've ripped out all the drinking fountains.

08:30 DaemonFC; When desegregation went in, white people just started carrying some water around with them to avoid using the fountains.

08:31 DaemonFC; Eventually the fountains got older and older, and dirtier and less tended to, and then they started coming out faster than they were being installed.

10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; because i am sure you know

10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; and can check

10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; see the back of any plastic bottle of paste tube

10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; check the %s

10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; many contain

10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; water

10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; some tomato "paste"

10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; which doe snot mean tomato

10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; it can be skins and extracts

10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; and lots and lots of sugar

10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; which is why the modern "tomato saucer" is so sweet

10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; sugar is cheap

10:14 schestowitz[TR2]; is now american recipe

10:14 schestowitz[TR2]; which is a lot of water and sugar

10:14 schestowitz[TR2]; and MAY contain SOME tomato

10:14 schestowitz[TR2]; for good measure

10:14 DaemonFC; They used to give you packets of Heinz at McDonald's.

10:14 schestowitz[TR2]; so they can call it "tomato saucer

10:14 schestowitz[TR2]; *"tomato sauce"

10:14 DaemonFC; Now they have their own branding on it, tastes more like Hunt's.

10:14 schestowitz[TR2]; it's not limited to that

10:14 schestowitz[TR2]; same with fruit juisce, chicken etc

10:15 schestowitz[TR2]; at the market i spend a lot of time looking at the ingredients

10:15 schestowitz[TR2]; they think i check dates

10:15 schestowitz[TR2]; but actually i check what's in those things

10:15 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: You can just make your own ketchup with tomato sauce and a few other things.

10:15 schestowitz[TR2]; and explain to them that some fruit juice is just water and concentrate, acids etc.

10:15 schestowitz[TR2]; and thus worthless

10:15 schestowitz[TR2]; just heavy to carry

10:15 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: I'm still not fond of McDonald's changing from Heinz ketchup.

10:16 schestowitz[TR2]; for pizzas and such

10:16 DaemonFC; From H-E-B.

10:16 schestowitz[TR2]; those are good but not cheap

10:16 schestowitz[TR2]; and they are very diluted in water

10:16 schestowitz[TR2]; to fill the ban or carton

10:16 schestowitz[TR2]; *can

10:16 DaemonFC; If I moved to Texas I probably would gain another 50 pounds.

10:16 schestowitz[TR2]; thee burger houses' tomato sauce is sugar sauce

10:17 DaemonFC; It's where all the food lives.

10:17 schestowitz[TR2]; with red colouring

10:17 schestowitz[TR2]; bright red

10:17 schestowitz[TR2]; not the dark red you get from real tomato

10:17 DaemonFC; Everywhere you go is burgers and brisket and iced tea and pecan pie.

10:18 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: I grabbed us a brisket at H-E-B while we were down there and smoked it in John's sister's back yard. Everyone has a grill/smoker there.

10:18 schestowitz[TR2]; many foods that ar enot what they called anymore

10:18 schestowitz[TR2]; (they changed)

10:18 schestowitz[TR2]; -fruit juice

10:18 schestowitz[TR2]; -meat

10:18 DaemonFC; They really thought I was something. They had hot peppers growing on a bush back there and I was eating them like candy and drinking a beer while I was minding the smoker.

10:19 schestowitz[TR2]; -milk-like drinks

10:19 schestowitz[TR2]; many call them "x" milk

10:19 schestowitz[TR2]; but they are water with some crushed nuts

10:19 schestowitz[TR2]; or seeds

10:19 DaemonFC; Finally, her husband asked how could I even stand to eat all those.

10:19 schestowitz[TR2]; there is even synthetic "olive" oil now

10:19 DaemonFC; Yeah, food fraud.

10:20 DaemonFC; They label any trash oil Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

10:20 schestowitz[TR2]; you can

10:20 schestowitz[TR2]; buy in reputable store

10:20 DaemonFC; And go "Stupid Americans. They don't know."

10:20 schestowitz[TR2]; or go for a known brand

10:20 DaemonFC; Sell it at Walmart.

10:20 schestowitz[TR2]; you cannot taste it in the store

10:20 schestowitz[TR2]; so it is risky

10:20 schestowitz[TR2]; olive oil is the new HP ink ;-)

13:35 Sompi; https://www.freealex.nl/

13:35 TR Bot; Let Alex Pertsev be free

13:36 Sompi; Yesterday I found internet discussion where people wrote that Pertsev was extradiced to US, but seems that it didn't really happen. Instead he was arrested in Netherlands two days after Tornado Cash was sanctioned in the US, which cannot be a coincidence

13:38 Sompi; The wired.com article explains how the prosecutors think: "But Dutch prosecutors say the case was simpler than all that. It wasnt about the right to privacy, or the liability of open source developers, they claim, but the choices of an individual. [Pertsev] made choices writing the code, deploying the code, adding features to the ecosystem. "

13:39 Sompi; So they don't even accuse Pertsev of doing crimes himself, instead the problem was that the program he wrote, which is free and open source, has "features" that can se used for criminal activity

13:39 Sompi; And those "features" only involve anonymous paying, nothing else

13:40 Sompi; And in the end he got 64 months of prison without actually doing anything illegal

13:44 Sompi; Let's imagine an operating system that couldn't be used for any illegal things. That wouldn't be a very good operating system

13:47 Sompi; It couldn't have any standardized programming interface for user programs because those user programs could do some illegal things. It couldn't have a text editor or anything like that, because someone could easily do hate crimes with it. Same goes with an image editor. At most an operating system unable to do any illegal stuff could have some pre-installed games that the user would be stuck with

21:43 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: Another puff piece about the Eternal Jobs.

21:44 schestowitz[TR2]; :-)

21:44 schestowitz[TR2]; show us?

21:44 DaemonFC; He's been dead since 2011 and people still get paid to say nice things while his wife is getting dicked down on the yacht he never used by another guy.

21:44 DaemonFC; No love lost, I guess.

21:44 schestowitz[TR2]; let me show you this:

21:45 schestowitz[TR2]; "

21:45 schestowitz[TR2]; Driving a garbage truck isn't as high-paying, as high-prestige or as cushy as most IT jobs, but the work is both honorable and necessary. Look at garbage pileups whenever there is a labor dispute and you'll see people screaming.

21:45 schestowitz[TR2]; Unlike IT work, it's also the kind of job that is not easily outsourced.

21:45 schestowitz[TR2]; "

21:45 schestowitz[TR2]; "This was me. Everything matches OP except I didnt find any IT work for four years.

21:45 schestowitz[TR2]; I have to survive and accepted a waste management job. I am driving a trash truck now so I can have an income. "

21:45 schestowitz[TR2]; " True (but sad) story...there was a local tech entrepreneur in my part of the world who had it all. A classical high achiever, he did really well in high school, skipped college, became CTO of a famous local firm in his early 20s, made lots of money producing software, married a couple of times to beautiful wives, had lots of children...multiple homes, multi-million dollar Manhattan condo...you get the picture.

21:45 schestowitz[TR2]; A few years ago he "died suddenly" at 56. Natural causes (allegedly).

21:45 schestowitz[TR2]; S*** happens to all of us. "

21:45 schestowitz[TR2]; how true.

21:45 schestowitz[TR2]; we know someone who suffered "burnout"

21:45 schestowitz[TR2]; cannot find a job

21:46 schestowitz[TR2]; and is seeing mental health people

21:46 schestowitz[TR2]; and is now suing women

21:46 schestowitz[TR2]; because "because!"

21:48 TR Bot; IBM set to establish new Software lab in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

21:48 TR Bot; ( status 403 @ https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1sHRGIgb )

21:48 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: You can lay off 100% of the "workers" building "AI" and nobody would even notice other than UI claims would pile up in California.

21:49 DaemonFC; But the jobs were based on low interest loan "investment income" that taxpayers had to back, against their will.

21:49 schestowitz[TR2]; "

21:49 schestowitz[TR2]; You have to wonder who is funding this crazy Software Lab effort - AK or MBS ? Maybe the new consulting lead MA (once the incompetent Consulting loser JG vanishes in a month or so) will create virtual bone saws in the cloud as a display of AI. After all IBM's technology is well behind the times and nowhere as good as it used to be - including AI. AK and his leadership pay peanuts and hire only untrained monkeys. MBS would do bette

21:49 schestowitz[TR2]; r picking Microsoft or Amazon who are acknowledged winners in the technology area, not dinosaurs like AK and IBM. Or even Kyndryl, who are well ahead in the game of consulting competition.

21:49 schestowitz[TR2]; "

21:49 DaemonFC; So that a few people could be billionaires with companies that would never work.

21:49 DaemonFC; Saying you're an IT worker is basically LARPing as a productive person, usually.

21:50 DaemonFC; Worse, if you're not useless you're usually doing something awful.

21:50 DaemonFC; Like making it easier for the military to kill people with a drone or something.

21:50 DaemonFC; Or trying to put real workers out of a job.

21:51 DaemonFC; "Tech workers" are another way that productivity of labor gets "dumped into the sea".

21:51 DaemonFC; Orwell described it as the Forever War, and how much tonnage could be sunk that taxpayers had to pay for.

21:51 DaemonFC; But that description could be easily applied to banking and tech today.

21:52 schestowitz[TR2]; IBM's very first CEO literally saluted the leader of the German Nazi Party, as per press reports http://techrights.org/o/2021/04/25/ibm-germany-history/

21:52 schestowitz[TR2]; DEI at IBM is pure cynicism at this point.

21:52 TR Bot; Documentary: IBM Founder (Watson) Gave a Nazi Salute, Admired Hitler, Said Hitler Was Doing the Right Thing

21:52 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: In the 1980s, cars came off the assembly line where if you bought them and changed the oil sometimes they'd still be driveable in 2012.

21:52 MinceR; DaemonFC: and yet here you are, using tech.

21:52 DaemonFC; They tell us that cars have gotten better today when they only last maybe 5-6 years without major problems.

21:52 TR News; "The only thing that Ginni pioneered at IBM is "Redefining total failure as Success", something that AK continues to do today in 2024" https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1sHUBLmA

21:53 DaemonFC; A woman bought a brand new Jeep and paid a lot of money for it, and then complained that in 5 years almost everything on a brand new Jeep had been replaced at least once.

21:53 DaemonFC; They want to scare everyone into leasing it and starting over every 4 years if they don't want a major breakdown to happen while they still make car payments.

21:53 TR News; "I think we need to ask the question what innovation came out of IBM during the Rometty CEO era? Answer = Cant think of any" https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1sHUBLmA

21:53 schestowitz[TR2]; " Sheer puffery. "

21:54 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: You know how you really know what DEI is?

21:54 TR News; This is why the Internet or Web will die. "Articles" are basically paid-for SPAM and LIES. https://www.yourtechstory.com/2024/05/24/ginni-rometty-pioneering-leadership-at-ibm/

21:54 TR Bot; Ginni Rometty: Pioneering Leadership at IBM

21:54 DaemonFC; It's being destroyed by civil rights laws in the US that were designed to dismantle racism and sexism.

21:54 DaemonFC; Because DEI is racism and sexism.

21:55 DaemonFC; DEI programs are having a hard time existing because of laws designed to help end segregation, promote women's rights, and help freed slaves integrate into society. But these laws now help men, and mostly white men.

21:55 DaemonFC; Because the system has been turned against us, but the laws still exist and were written broadly.

21:56 TR News; If search engines become something that treats pages as TRAINING sets rather than something to LINK (or refer) to, then any site that does not use RSS feeds will die fast. Moreover, social control media is a train wreck. All your "subscribers" perish the moment the platform dies.

21:56 DaemonFC; White men have to resort to using affirmative action now.

21:56 schestowitz[TR2]; DaemonFC: i would not go as far as to frame it like this

21:56 DaemonFC; Just to get a fair shot at a desirable college or a good job.

21:56 schestowitz[TR2]; but even in the 90s my aunt in FL said there were "quotas"

21:56 schestowitz[TR2]; it's not a new thing

21:56 DaemonFC; Yep.

21:57 schestowitz[TR2]; maybe it got perturbed too much

21:57 schestowitz[TR2]; like, look at outereachy

21:57 DaemonFC; Right, because the system was set up to troll us.

21:57 schestowitz[TR2]; hitring or recruiting "sexy ladies"

21:57 schestowitz[TR2]; from places like east Europe

21:57 DaemonFC; And now it's being eviscerated by civil rights laws.

21:57 schestowitz[TR2]; as "comfort women"

21:57 schestowitz[TR2]; or dates

21:57 schestowitz[TR2]; or girldfriend

21:57 schestowitz[TR2]; but not brazilians

21:57 schestowitz[TR2]; see:

21:57 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: Outreachy could be dismantled by the Civil Rights Act.

21:58 schestowitz[TR2]; http://techrights.org/n/2024/04/26/Albanian_women_Brazilian_women_Debian_Outreachy_racism_under_Ch.shtml

21:58 TR Bot; Techrights Albanian women, Brazilian women & Debian Outreachy racism under Chris Lamb

21:58 DaemonFC; All it would take is one white man applying and being turned down for not being trans or black or something.

21:58 schestowitz[TR2]; well

21:58 schestowitz[TR2]; any man can become trans

21:58 schestowitz[TR2]; any women can become trans

21:58 schestowitz[TR2]; but not black

21:58 schestowitz[TR2]; you cannot turn white to black

21:58 schestowitz[TR2]; or vice versa

21:58 schestowitz[TR2]; michael jackson was always black

21:59 schestowitz[TR2]; but MJ could become trans

21:59 DaemonFC; Outreachy is vulnerable because "We don't serve your kind here." isn't okay under the Civil Rights Acts.

21:59 schestowitz[TR2]; so those are different thing

21:59 schestowitz[TR2]; one is a condition

21:59 schestowitz[TR2]; like race

21:59 schestowitz[TR2]; the other is a CHOICE

21:59 schestowitz[TR2]; like

21:59 schestowitz[TR2]; being Microsoft staff is CHOICE

21:59 DaemonFC; It's a form of racism and gender discrimination promoted by IBM.

21:59 schestowitz[TR2]; being black is not a choice

21:59 DaemonFC; Where they expect male interns to work for free while they pay women, trans people, and blacks and Mexicans and stuff.

21:59 DaemonFC; Anyone but a white man.

21:59 schestowitz[TR2]; hertero

22:00 schestowitz[TR2]; hetero

22:00 schestowitz[TR2]; well, they could fake being gay

22:00 DaemonFC; Yes, it's a discriminatory program. It's an illegal program.

22:00 schestowitz[TR2]; but I don't think outreachy has quotas foir gays

22:00 DaemonFC; I don't know why nobody has done anything about them yet.

22:00 schestowitz[TR2]; colleges do not either

22:00 schestowitz[TR2]; gaysness is not a choice

22:00 schestowitz[TR2]; or being "bi"

22:00 schestowitz[TR2]; they don't like that term

22:00 schestowitz[TR2]; i am told

22:01 schestowitz[TR2]; and people can fake it

22:01 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: Yeah, there was an Adam Sandler movie a while back from when gay marriage wasn't a thing.

22:01 schestowitz[TR2]; to meet quotas

22:01 schestowitz[TR2]; that's why trump keeps annoying Liz Warren

22:01 DaemonFC; So he's playing a firefighter and he gets a civil union under state law so his friend can get on his fireman's health insurance.

22:01 schestowitz[TR2]; biab

22:02 DaemonFC; I don't know if the entire Respect for Marriage Act would survive the Supreme Court, but it's better than having DOMA on the books.

22:02 DaemonFC; Because now the court can't just reverse itself and DOMA is back.

22:03 DaemonFC; https://finance.yahoo.com/news/homeowners-hit-pause-on-remodels-as-costs-get-just-ridiculous-132147387.html

22:03 TR Bot; Homeowners hit pause on remodels as costs get 'just ridiculous'

22:04 DaemonFC; You don't own the house. You're remodeling something the bank has a lien on.

22:04 DaemonFC; Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

22:04 DaemonFC; If I had a mortgage I wouldn't remodel anything that didn't fail or just need a coat of paint until the deed to the house was in my hands.

22:05 DaemonFC; You're just making it more valuable if the bank takes it back and sells it to someone else.

22:05 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: Most home "owners" around here pay more in property taxes than it would cost to rent a two bedroom apartment.

22:05 DaemonFC; The only difference is if they stop paying their taxes, the government comes for their home instead of a landlord.

22:06 DaemonFC; So even when the mortgage is paid off, they're still in danger, and they still might as well be renters.

22:06 DaemonFC; The mortgage can absolutely go up while you're still paying it.

22:07 DaemonFC; The government can raise your property taxes. The bank pays them and then computes it into your mortgage payments.

22:07 DaemonFC; So the payment can go up.

22:07 DaemonFC; Also, homeowner's insurance is mandatory. You can't just drop it and risk everything to pay the mortgage.

22:07 DaemonFC; If you drop it, they tell the bank and the bank forecloses even if you're paying them.

22:08 DaemonFC; So you pay whatever the insurance company wants to insure the bank's investment in your mortgage.

22:08 DaemonFC; Then if you have an ARM, the interest rate itself can go up or down, but right now people with an ARM are paying way more than they ever thought they would.

22:09 DaemonFC; There's a lot of ways it can go up, and even when you start out, it'll be more than twice the cost of renting a two bedroom apartment.

22:09 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: It's the landlord sweating bullets worried he'll lose his house.

22:09 DaemonFC; Ironic, right?

22:13 DaemonFC; Every time the "economy starts to soften" it means that we're already well into a recession.

22:13 DaemonFC; The Fed only lets up when it's too late, because they look at trailing data.
