Home Ownership

Well, maybe, but it isn't gonna happen with Biden anyways and I doubt any Republican would take it up for much the same reasons you outlined - it wouldn't benefit their own base as much, and elected officials of both parties are essentially owned by whatever segment of the banks actually holds those debts anyways.

Basically because of bribery/campaign finance, wanting to get re-elected over and over....

It seems to me that there are certain things, like education and healthcare, which should not be governed by capitalist principles but that isn't what we have, and now there's all these sunk costs involved, what a total mess

I always wondered about the government using the money instead to form their own higher education, like public higher education, but any kind, including tradeskills or even just teaching how to work a low skill job (like a mini-associates)

Then have it undercut the university prices, since in my opinion university degree costs are kinda ridiculous. This would force competition and universities having motivation to try to lower their costs for higher education. Because the college degree system doesn’t really seem all that streamlined either. I dunno, I’m not an expert in degrees, but it seems there is a decent amount of filler stuff

Anyway, I had other ideas but forgot them already

Think of how much they pushed back on Obamacare, and the regulatory and bureaucratic mess that half-assed approach created

I would support a federal college, but it will definitely be called socialist and opposed by all the usual corrupt villains in both parties

hard to federalize things when your population is 330 million

obamacare was designed to fail though, our country and economy could have never supported it.

A different economy could, but ours could not.

Had a plumber come out to fix spare bath toilet and told me there’s dirt in the line, which means a pipe break, possibly. Have to have them come back out and do a fancy $370 scope to know exactly what is going on

Dad told me from there most likely the “fix” is going to be tearing up my carpet, Jack hammering my tile and the concrete foundation under it, digging up and re-laying the pipe, and putting concrete back down and leaving the re-tiling and re-carpeting to me. Aka tens of thousands of dollars. And not covered by homeowner insurance

If I can’t finance this, I’m fucked. But pretty sure they’ll let me. Yay home ownership

Yo

STOP what you are doing now

there is like 250$ a year insurance you can get to fix internal problems in your house like that, id look into it.

Try to avoid dealing with the leak for 1 month, then ask them to come fix it.

it might be too late if you already had someone come look at it, but the plumber/insurance conspiracy is not as strong as the hospital/insurance one, so its likely the insurance wont know that you already had a plumber look at it.

You're looking for emergency home repair plans.
