The house may have been worth $200000 when you bought it. But when it becomes more valuable it increases your net worth. That’s my point. It’s not cash in hand.

Reply to EU Parliament votes to effectively ban new combustion engine cars by 2035 by saltyswedishmeatball
Great, now create recyclable batteries and with materials that do not come from mines that totally destroy the ecosystem, created cost-effective and environmentally friendly green energy, make electrical car cheaper, apply this to any cars that drive in the EU, make electric cars that have as much range as thermal engines, and that last as long over time.
​
I don't really see it as a uplifting news... As usual, it really look like that they voted this to please "3 or 4 eco people" and give themselves a good image. Whereas basically, it's impossible to apply, and it won't be done on the date indicated.

My son never had friends until he moved into a group home. I guess his roommates are his friends.

What is uplifting about crapitalism, which ruined the environment, now making profit off of it? Why are we happy that companies can make profit off of destruction? What is this timeline?
And are companies actually doing what they are saying? I highly doubt it because lying and cover up is the norm these days.

Reply to comment by elpajaroquemamais in Tyler Perry to donate $2.5M to help older Atlanta homeowners by AmethystOrator
I'm saying that $625 is a typical expense we are already used to paying. What's one more of them? I'm saying if you have $250k of the house paid off, chances are you can drop $625 without it affecting you. And no, we shouldn't save all of our money. Buy a PS5 and enjoy if it doesn't hurt you financially.

You are describing exactly why you need to save that money instead of spending it on a PS5 or charity. Thanks for proving my point.

The Earth is not in any way going to cool in the near to medium term. Fact.
Who is having a future of "living within one's means" profitable? Less consumerism, less energy usage, personal carbon footprints etc.

And you, a westerner, is the one to pass such judgments with no self awareness or irony.

Reply to comment by Trucker58 in Gov. Moore announces $9.1M for oyster restoration in Maryland by citytiger
I met several people in my area that specifically cited cost of living.
Does that mean our anecdotal experiences cancel out into a null data set?

Reply to comment by MagnumBlunts in Gov. Moore announces $9.1M for oyster restoration in Maryland by citytiger
My take:
Moore just appointed the former executive director of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (which is a legit conservation organization) to head Maryland's Dept. of Natural Resources. ORP and other fisheries groups flipped out because they don't want actual regulations and environmental laws might prevent them from making the maximum amount of money.
This is Moore throwing them a bone.

Hundreds of books if not more are released everyday. Just because because 2,000 different books might get that distinction in a year, does not mean that it’s not an absolutely amazing milestone for someone to hit.
