I heard 7% over 2 years and an extra $2k if you get a booster and stay for a year. Hopefully they'll bump that King County premium pay up tooFortunately, after 2 years of "8%" inflation, it sounds like the workers commune is going to get 4% annual pay raises again
fuck these pieces of shit. Would be nice if we actually lived in a capitalist society and not a centrally planned socialist oligarchy.
AwesomeJust red an article that the feds strategy to reign this in, instead of stopping printing money at the will of the .gov, is to target 1million layoffs so people stop spending and wages stagnate to cool this off, as they are blaming this on wage growth now.
I read that article as my wife was ready to go to the grocery store with me. At the check out looking at the bill I was asking her how much relief we will have on prices when we are unemployedAwesome
That's not regular stupid, that's advanced stupidJust red an article that the feds strategy to reign this in, instead of stopping printing money at the will of the .gov, is to target 1million layoffs so people stop spending and wages stagnate to cool this off, as they are blaming this on wage growth now.
The problem is that the .gov is addicted to the spending, and like a junkie that's been living on nothing but heroin, it's not just that it would be painful to stop, but it could well cause their own collapse.Just red an article that the feds strategy to reign this in, instead of stopping printing money at the will of the .gov, is to target 1million layoffs so people stop spending and wages stagnate to cool this off, as they are blaming this on wage growth now.

Like they say, we're living in interesting times.

Holy shit!
You make that up in property tax.
Yes, 2 or 3 more properties and I'll be at new jersey levels
It's why I don't live in TX anymore.
When I was in TX, my property tax bill was $3200 on a home assessed at $109k. A full 2.9% after exemptions. In 2020, that home's bill was just under $4k on a $127k exemption... apparently taxes increased to 3.1% of assessed value since I left. Meanwhile, I just paid something like $875 on an assessment of $238k here.Yes, 2 or 3 more properties and I'll be at new jersey levels
Exactly. I can easily afford $1k/year in property tax when I am retired. Tripling it on half the value? Not so much.
Also, homeowners insurance is higher on TX side. And as high as property tax is now, it'll be double that after the state goes blue. Anybody remember how perma-red Colorado used to be?
I just checked around me and where we plan on moving next spring at it is at 7%. That is really going to fuck us over. I saw it coming, told my wife it would happen and how the scenario would play out. Soon she will realize exactly how important a few percent can be.Holy shit!
You’ve been preaching the Texarkana gospel a little hard around here lately
Bet mortgages will be north of 10% next year. Good luck!
Simple calculation: Real inflation (not the official, neutered number, but the real number) > interest rate = Keep debt. Real inflation < interest rate = Sell debt.
If that happens and there isn't a dramatic drop in house prices it will not be good for the family, I know that for sure.
I want to see the interest rate go however high it has to cause serious financial hardship among the ivory tower assholes who took out an adjustable rate home equity loan on their million dollar piece of shit on 1/8 acre and used it to drive up the cost of everything. If home values tank that's just icing on the cake.
You’re lucky that you don’t have to carry windstorm like we do on the coast. It’s a royal fucking and there are only a couple of providers.
Where the fuck did the eye go?
It really is starting to feel like there is stratification in the economic class of folks. Top 10% things have been fine and everyone else is just getting more and fucked
I had to check that arse_sidewards wasn't a spoof account this morning since I didn't recognize the picWhere the fuck did the eye go?
I made it my avatar for the internal ticketing system at my employer so I figured I'd change it here.Where the fuck did the eye go?
