Consequences are for the poor and unpopular. The legal system is just there to protect the wealthy owners, it's not there to deliver justice.

Nothing is ever black and white. This is just a stalling tactic or another attempt to reduce the penalty or mitigate the situation until he's past voting time.
If he wins he'll just wheel and deal to get others to pay for favors. He's not banking on losing.
You're calculating it based on take home pay or something? because 1/3rd of 700,000 / 12 = $19,250/mo
Household income is about 230k. Mortgage comes out to less than 50% of take home pay. 230k/12 = 19166/mo (gross) 4500 is 23% of gross income.
Afaik every couple around here by 30 with professional experience and a degree is making over 200k (so 100k per person.) I've seen IT support roles for 100k+ (example from the highest paying company i've ever seen, liberty mutual insurance: https://searchjobs.libertymutualgroup.com/careers?location=Boston%2C%20Massachusetts%2C%20United%20States&department=Technology&pid=618496295577&domain=libertymutual.com&sort_by=relevance )
Greater boston area, not inside boston. Malden/Medford/Everett/Chelsea area. Everett and Chelsea are NOT desirable.
The smallest of places are 650k+ here for 2br minimum. You can find 1br condos for 500-600k sometimes.
We're talking about 20-100yo+ homes. Not new construction. There's no "luxury" involved. No yard or acreage. Often no parking included.
lol i'm looking at paying ~4500/mo for a 3br 2ba ~1300sqft.
It really bothers them if others don't work harder than they do for less pay.
yay, another article that uses the term "slammed"
It's just more war on innovation to keep the status quo. The farmers grow the crops with government subsidy to feed the cattle to sell the beef to restaurants to fatten more people up and further prop up private healthcare and pharma subscription treatments (wegovy anyone?)
Heaven forbid anything change. It's important that big farm gets their subsidies and that americans use animal suffering for their profit because that's the way it's always been.
Water is wet and this is just beating a dead horse. I've seen this same topic covered again and again and again.
Isn't there anything more relevant to talk about? isn't this supposed to be an election year?
I mean sure I guess... but brave as a browser is atrocious. I don't trust their bullshit at all.
After all who doesn't want a crypto wallet in their browser? that's the safest place for it right?
We'll probably just get Biden again but still have a broken house of representatives with a republican majority on half, so nothing will really happen for another four years. Neither party is going to land a trifecta.
No matter what it's unlikely that Ukraine is going to see significant US aid and regardless of the feelings of the public in the US. Israel will be permitted it's continued war of aggression as well regardless of who wins.
imo the only change to the status quo will be if dumpy wins and they actually go with the 2025 plan to turn the federal government into a republican hellscape.

A room is basically ~1k/mo here if you're renting with roommates, maybe up to 1500 if the place is really nice. 1800 for a studio, give or take.
Entry level roles are usually 60kish+ but everybody hits 100k very quickly in any kind of white collar gig. With the pharma industry being here a huge portion of roles in greater Boston are pharma or pharma adjacent with 200k-400k salaries(+bonus/options) which drive up the cost of housing like crazy. Plus some finance and legal too. There's a few ad agencies, plenty of healthcare companies and some world class hospitals. Plus a significant amount of highly desirable colleges that lure in the rich foreign exchange students. It makes for a really expensive housing situation unfortunately.
