Well, you gotta find a good realtor who is actually going to give you impartial advice, but yes, otherwise you're just going to pressured to put yourself into the meatgrinder. And yes, there are significant local components to real estate price, but prices also correlate with larger economic downturns that occur at a national level.
Good luck finding one (if you're not related/family friends). Save for unforeseen policy changes or economic meltdown you'd be better served focusing at the local level imo.
But so long as you're not using your house as an investment vehicle then it doesn't really matter. At some point in the next 20 years your house will be worth less than it is right now and at another point it will be worth more. So long as the paper loss doesn't matter to you, then it's better just to focus on the direction the neighborhood is heading.
I wouldn't let national economic factors influence a home purchase, based off of what's on the horizon, other than buying before the off-shore money comes back, that's guaranteed to spike prices.

newsflash morons, how do you fight this incredibly corrosive and unjust phenomenon without international governmental institutions and laws?
The rules and laws at a nation state level are already in place in the USA.They just need to be followed and criminal charges need to be made where appropriate.
You talk about international government like the UN but when a country can just veto any action it's pointless to talk about.I mean we saw Saudi Arabia head the UN human rights council in the first half of this year - totally indefensible.The UN is a total mess.

What the hell's going on?

I am glad I have no part in this election, wouldn't want to vote for either option. How could it come down to two ugly choices?
|
From what I can gather, a lot of pollsters are pretty dismayed by this year's polling state, so I'm not sure if I can give polls as much credibility as I would in a normal election year
|
Some generally credible pollsters felt that they aren't really up to the task and they curtailed their polling activities. I'm not surprised polling is down.

Comments say it all, absolute desperation from the democrats.

Lol I almost tried to reason with Nettles about the state of the election, caught myself at the last second.

m8 they literally plan(ned) to send people wearing badges that seem official to interrogate minorities entering voting locations.
They have been successfully litigated for this in the past. It's not like the good ol boy party is clean.

Can you mention the fact that Trump has 0 integrity whatsoever please?
And second question: you put capacity to change the status quo as a pro. Wa can agree than things could be a shitload worse, right?
So I would change your "pro" for at least "???"

No parody, just history repeating itself.
The same happened to the Roman empire what is now happening to the American empire.
These are the candidates America deserves for where it is at.

Yes. America may not get the hero it needs, but it gets the hero it deserves this election. It's like a reverse batman movie.

Kept away for a long time from this thread an teamliquid in general, coming back for a rather simple question that was asked in the pub last weekend. Between two pints, a couple of mates raised the point that the election is rigged, ironically, considering the US is the self proclaimed "democracy spreader" of the world.
My opinion is/was, that there won't be any rigging at the voting ballots. That's just a retarded idea. But the argument that the election is rigged came from the behaviour of the DNC and ("connected") media.
Would "very one-sided media" and a party that actively denounces/undermines efforts of certain candidates make the election "rigged"? Since i took a break, roughly 1500 pages were added to this thread, if it was discussed already, my bad - friendly pointer to roughly the right point would be nice then.
Trump now seen as more honest than Clinton in new Post-ABC Tracking Poll
That's not surprising to me, honestly. Although "more trustworthy" is relative. Less than 0 trustworthiness is still 0 trustworthiness.
