I watched a 30 second clip of the debate on Twitter and that was enough for me

Talking about this?

 

[Strickland33]

This is all he’s tweeted about for like 3 months

It’s kinda wild

He annoys me sometimes (though most “too online” people annoy me), but a chill Wake grad for sure

 

[ImTheCaptain]

it's definitely Strick, then

when boomers were in their 30s (in the 70s/80s) the average interest rate on a mortgage never dropped below 7%, and for most of that period it was over 9%. Boomers have fucked up plenty of things but acting like today's mortgage rates are some kind of unprecedented burden on young people isn't really fair.

incidentally, gen X is the one that has gotten the benefit of a lot of this, so blame us - although I bought in 2006 at the peak of the market and couldn't sell that house for ten years because it was underwater until around 2016.

so what you are really saying is that every generation has had their own unique challenges? Imagine that.

Shit- I bought my first place in March of 2001. 9/11 happened and rates dropped by like 2-3 points. Took me 2 years to re-fi. I then built a house in 2006 and had to sell it in 2010- oops! $75K I'll never see again.

They did have Vietnam and the oil crisis.

I know Newsom did a good job of talking about the accomplishments of the Biden administration and showing what a mess the Republican primary is, but I think the impact will be more how people will compare him to Biden in a debate. Newsom was very quick, he made his points clearly, and he went on the offensive. That is going to be the bar for Biden when he stands at the podium next time.

Talking about this?

Thread that lays out a lot of the “economy isn’t as great as people say” thoughts in response to the Stancil dork

so what you are really saying is that every generation has had their own unique challenges? Imagine that.

And they probably all hated being told the economy was great by the guy at the helm
