decimation: right, my only point is
that
they are all fractional reserve banks on
the British model.
The bezzle follows you everywhere
chetty: exactly, I don't blame
the outside banks at all, its prudent
decimation: as if foriegn banks operate in
the interest of
their account holders
chetty: yeah doesn't stop much, but mostly lets you open bank accounts (banks outside us are afraid of americans
these days)
decimation: "oh, you've become an American now? good on ya - you sail for
the King now"
decimation: true. just like
the Royal Navy in
the early 1800's
moiety: a lot of people seem
to have
turned
their attention
to canada
thesedays
chetty: when
they actually build
that border fence you know you are
trouble
ozbot: More
than 3,100 Americans renounced citizenship last year: FBI - National | Globalnews.ca
decimation: yeah,
this is
true. I wonder what all
the europeans who came over in
the 1800's would have made of
this outcome?
decimation: well,
the us
today is pretty much an enormous chumpatron
moiety: and
theres
the kind
that wind up
there out of obligation
moiety: he just
threw a post up on a forum
decimation: ascii I
think
to some extent living near a major metro area in
the US is a chump's game
moiety: not
the construction being free asciilifeform but it was paid for by
the money from
the people occupying
the land for him, which is actually part of
the
terms. win win
moiety: decimation: it all depends how long/hard you are willing
to look. its not like its listed anywhere
moiety: the problem being
the land
that is free isn't easy
to build on usually
moiety: asciilifeform: one guy claimed 50 hectares, started
to build, got some people occupying
the land at a rented rate, paid for
the build. free house, lots of land
ozbot: Prince George's County Public Schools - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
tg2: there needs
to be some recourse for home owners
that get "reevaluated" at 10% more when
their house has not inreased in value
tg2: property
tax is
the biggest scheme
decimation: which people just roll into
the "how much do I have
to pay per month" calculation
decimation: not only
that,
the local governments lard
their coffers with property
taxes
tg2: you
trying
to buy shark with goldfish budget
moiety: but you need a credit card
to get a credit rating
moiety: you can't get a credit card in
the uk without a credit rating
moiety: i pay more for a one bed flat
than colleagues do for
three bedroom houses
chetty: moiety, but
thats
the whole bankster
trap, in a nutshell
mircea_popescu: moiety
thats just
the contemporary implementation of "every man needs a lord"
moiety: asciilifeform: just seems so daft
that you have
to get messed up
to get it and staying debt free actually harms you
decimation: yeah
that's
the other population. obviously, neither is interested in paying anything for property maintenance
moiety: i would like
to know how
they expect you
to build a credit rating when you can't get credit when you don't have a credit rating in
the first place.
decimation: yeah in my experience most "landlords" are real estate agents who generally are happy with a zero cashflow -
they write off
the depreciation against
their income
decimation: the assumption is
that only lowlifes with no credit rent
decimation: ascii I do agree with your point about rental property. I recently moved from a house
to a rental, and when I
told
the agent about my credit score she said " you should be buying"
chetty: hahaha save
the man some
travel $$
decimation: ascii you should just rent a room in
the marriott across from fort meade
decimation: I
thought you were
talking about
that. as I recall it was because
they used substandard adhesive
ozbot: imgur:
the simple image sharer
mircea_popescu: no fucking idea who
told you people cement works for
this application btw
mircea_popescu: but no,
these were just poorly maintained state highways
decimation: yeah
that was after
they spent billions on
the "big dig"
tg2: we have
that problem in quebec currently
mircea_popescu: which was
the first
time i heard of
that sort of shit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back in 2004 mass was fighting like 3 separare wrongful death suits arising out of chunks of concrete coming off
the road and flying into people's cars
mircea_popescu: he accidentally died of a self inflicted would while
trying
to propel himself with a nailgun
decimation: I
thought he fell out of a building while being shot with a nail gun
decimation: the northeast is
the worst in my experience
decimation: the engineer who designed
that bridge is probably crying
decimation: as I recall you were hangoing around
the northeast
mircea_popescu: it shocked me what poor state of repair
the infrastructure was
decimation: yeah
the infrastructure is getting very spotty
decimation: fred reed money quote: "My wife Violeta, a Mexican, describes
the United States as a
Third World country with a First World infrastructure (un pais
tercermundista con infraestructura primermundista)"
tg2: lol
transcript: dude is retarded. I watch
that video when I want
to feel better about my crypto portfolio.
decimation: well,
the wikipedia is
the lowest common denominator of american
thinking
mircea_popescu: with culture like
this illiteracy seems an impossibility.
mircea_popescu: seriously,
that's all
they have
to say about
taki,
that he called some simian looking jew "homely" and
that fascists
taking over greece'd be an improvement over
the current sort of socialists ?
mircea_popescu: decimation
that wikipedia article is perhaps
the best indictment of
the "wikipedia" notion of an encyclopedia one could devise.
jborkl: It is
the same density as gold
