Dude. Even with good credit they will fuck with you. I've been with Wells Fargo since '84.

Started a business in 2014. Asked them for a business loan in 2023.

My credit score was over 700. I have multiple credit lines I pay on time and have been for years.

WF said I was pre-approved for a business loan of 100k.

After 6 weeks, they denied my application.

Simply because of one missed payment (by 15 days) on a credit card in 2020. (I incorrectly thought this card had a no payment forgiveness grace period due to the pandemic.)

Its a broken system that only works for those that already have capital. They will find a reason to deny you no matter what.

"we aren't kings"

Cries when parade isn't dictator-y enough.

I'm aware of your opinion. I just don't agree that now is a bad time to talk about kids dying. Because it's never been a good time. I've been told to wait for a better time to have this conversation for two decades, and in that time there's now hundreds more dead kids making it an even better reason to have this discussion.

We're adults. We can talk about all the bad things that need fixed, and we can do it all at once while other bad things are happening. Thinking otherwise is how we let this problem grow this big. Becuase it's been easier to be distracted by bigger priorities (9/11, 2008, Covid, etc) rather than actually work on a solution.

I'm not even advocating for banning guns at all. Just that we should have a conversation - one where we discuss what policy options could fix the accessibility problem of guns while still making your gun owning friends happy.

Yet, I can't even seem to get close to having that conversation with you without you somehow feeling insulted. Followed by you threatening me with violence you assume will occur to me despite me already saying I own guns and know how to use them.

Why is it that the biggest 2A supporters are the ones who run the fastest away from the adult conversation we need to have about guns in this country? Because at least Hogg isn't running away from the topic like you are just because it's a "bad time"

So of course you don't agree with him. The point I'm making is that if you don't, it should be you talking about it instead of postponing the conversation further. That's how kids die. And from my position, at least Hogg is trying to stop it instead of burying his head in the sand as you have advocated for.

So let me make this very clear: Fuck Democrats who want to ban guns, I just want them to be at least as hard to obtain as a car.

And that unfortunately makes me more closer aligned to Hogg. But at least I'm talking about it.

I'm a liberal gun owner. Also go to ranges. Also see that the majority of people there are right leaning.

That doesn't mean they support fascism. That doesn't mean they will use their weapons to kill those that oppose fascism.

No one on the right actually wants a civil war, but the people they keep electing say they do becuase they're stupid enough to think it would be profitable.

In reality, the dumbest people imaginable are in control of our government. And the people that eat Fox News corpo-governemnt propaganda on the daily are likewise just as stupid, but only in that their ability to reason has been compromised - so they posture about killing liberals for clout just like previous generations postured about joining the military despite never serving.

In the end, the people that are actually stupid enough to use their guns against other Americans are in the vast minority. But also, they are stupid enough not to use or operate their weapons correctly.

The people I see at ranges that regularly threaten their lives with poor trigger discipline are usually the ones that support Trump, so I'm more afraid of them killing their friends from incompetence than a left leaning American.

My dude.

Literally the rest of the world doesn't have this problem. So let's start in that reality, unless you have a bunch of school shooting data to prove me wrong.

Australia is a great example of gun control policies and how they can be used to stop public shootings like they did in the 90's. It worked there, and literally everywhere else it's been adopted, including here in the US with the Brady Bill. (That lapsed long ago).

I own guns and use them. I also work in a field where they are used often.

So I know what I'm saying when I say that there absolutely should be compromises on what types of weapons are regulated, how they function, and we should without questions require a license to get one like a car. But a conversation about these things needs to actually happen for better options to be brought to the table.

Without Hogg and others, we're left with a bunch of idiots that think doing nothing as our children get executed in schools is a necessity if we want to have fun with guns.

So I find it hard to agree with anything you just said as it's mostly a made up terror fantasy you're substituting as factual to skip over the actual conversation about gun regulations that need to be had.

The difference between your opinion and Hoggs is that his will effectively save children, and yours will let them die.

There's absolutely a middle ground. And if you don't like his policies, you should be the one finding that middle as you weren't the one who was shot in school as a child for the crime of being American like Hogg was.

Maybe consider why he has that position on Firearms? Considering he was the victim of a school shooting as a child during one of the dozens that have happened since Columbine. Funny how school shootings are now old enough for their survivors to run for office. So maybe their stance is respectable, even if you don't agree with it.

I love the complete lack of self awareness in what you're saying - as if it doesn't also apply to you and how you talk to others.

It's actually:

4. To ensure the corporate real estate market doesn't collapse like the the consumer real estate market did in 2008 despite the same problem with massive loan fraud inflating the value of business real-estate for toxic bank loans that are rated AAA, but are actually worth shit as no one needs corporate real estate post - Covid.

It's the 2008 housing crisis, but with corporate real estate. COVID forced work from home, which caught banks with their pants down, having no way to actually drive the demand back up for these buildings that will continually house less and less people from less and less businesses (Work from home + businesses not surviving Covid, now Tariffs.)

Our entire banking system is backed up by debt packaged with corporate real estate that's rated as AAA, but is just more toxic cat shit no one wants wrapped in dogshit that banks need. It's a bomb that's been growing as giant corporate buildings become ghost towns, and city centers become more horizontal than verticle.

Big companies with big loans from banks know they're fucked if the corporate real estate market collapses. So they force work from home as a band aid that gives their corporate property some value, or at least justifies it on paper. In reality, the cost to force workers into the office always offsets the billions in losses if their corporate office real estate ever followed real market forces and depreciated in value.

Pretty sure you'd care if I built a casino on the mass grave your mother was buried in after I publicly helped dig it.

But hey, she'll be dead no matter what, so you don't care right?

I mean, honestly, why are you even trying to use a moral compass when you clearly don't have one to begin with.

It's funny we live in a world where people like you waste so much of their time on the internet arguing a lost cause. Mostly because everyone outside the bubble of bullshit you're addicted to being a part of isn't so gullible. Honestly, amd I mean this sincerely. You are dillusional.

It is objectively pointless to have a conversation with you, as the outcome is always decided for you before you even type.

Your comments and every one like them are just the same bullshit white noise being perpetuated by people addicted to their lizard brains chemical reactions to the fear, anger, and hate they've buried themselves in.

You're a literal junkie high on hate, and any conversation with you is pointless because you aren't even a part of it.

Don't forget about the casino Trump wants to build there after bulldozong it! That certainly wouldn't have happened under a Biden presidency either.

My favorite part about this article is that he first wrote it around 2021, and then had to update it constantly during the 2024 campaign as more passages from the Bible started lining up.

Then Trump was almost assassinated, and that lined up perfectly with yet another passage in the Bible about the antichrist "suffering a mortal blow to the head, but then rising back up appearing fine."

I believe he stopped updating it after that, as he already showed how 35+ passages from the Bibles book of "Revelations" fits Trump almost perfectly.

I find it hilarious Christians aren't reading this article, because it's quite possibly the best "proof" the Bible is real (if you're inclined to believe that).
