A Black Woman who was already doing terrible got in a car accident & her car was totaled, she’s on the verge of eviction. She’s behind on rent & trying to make enough to cover the rest of this month’s rent. Let’s each give $1 & she’ll reach her goal. We’ve helped 172 people so far, let’s keep going

It’s the gaslighting. They are exploiting you but they try to make you feel guilty because they are doing you a favor. Yeah, f*** off.
You work for free so they can make money.
People have woken up to this BS.

And the audacity of the people pushing this policy, just so they can say they “own a home.” Many of them look down on those of us who pay rent instead of mortgages. I enjoy my amenities.
I refuse to trap myself in a house just for the sake of saying I own something.

A 50-year mortgage isn’t “help for homebuyers.”
The bank owns you for half a century.
Nobody wants to buy a house at 30 and still be paying for it at 80.
This isn’t affordability — it’s a slow-motion wealth transfer.
Only the banks win. Everyone else just grows old paying interest.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
