I’ll pay cash.

I’ll give you $300k if I can have the property by the end of the day.

If that’s not enough time for you to vacate, I’d be happy to rent the place back to you until you do.

And don’t try to deter me, bro! Just realize the upside of your property value increasing.

I actually had this happen to me. Eventually was actually forced to sell against my will.

Gummint is inefficient largely cuz they’re in the pockets of the moneyed interests.

As far as Merica being broke, perhaps it’s cuz we’ve been giving away the republic to billionaires and corporations since at least like, the Reagan administration now?

And if we don’t fairly tax the wealthiest and most profitable folks and bidnesses of all time, where else are we supposed to get the money from? poor folks?

That, and overhaul the budget. Stop buying up war weapons like it’s avocado toast, and shit like that.

But if you really wanna go down the lefty rabbit hole, many would say “tax the rich” looks cute on a dress but still ain’t enough. Yes comrade, we must seize and redistribute!

…the means of production, at least. You know how pissy rich folks get about sharing the labor value they’ve already stolen. So let’s implement a new economic system - one that benefits people over profits, all stakeholders over just some greedy shareholders, communities over corporations, and conservation over consumption.

Like for real it’s crazy how many socialist communist types think AOC is a joke, but for entirely different reasons than pubs

I think about it often.

Got some friends in Norway, though that as much as anything else would be a pilgrimage to the motherland for the sake of my Nordic ski career.
