I'm thinking something along those lines. It could be another 5-6 months before inflation cools down to where the Fed is happy.

Anybody else remember there being 5 year CDs at 5+% years ago? I could have sworn I saw those advertised back in the late 90's - early 00's. I didn't get one because stocks were all the rage.
Nowadays, banks won't offer 5% for more than 18 months or so. It seems like they're expecting interest rates to come back down in the next couple of years.
First time I heard it was on The Daily Show (sorry about the ads), but in the archives, they bleep it for some reason. I think they just allowed it because it was the name of a book. Brickleberry was the first show I saw use it regularly.
Sadly, Lemmy is a very polarized place. I will say people are pretty good at keeping their comments in appropriate communities, or the mods are doing a great job of policing it.
Trust me, I know about small and inactive. I moderate the Chip Stocks channel and that place is about as unpopular as you'd expect it to be, lol. Maybe one day we'll attract more of a following here.
Anyone else get discouraged by all the anti-capitalist rhetoric on Lemmy? https://lemmy.world/post/7989808
It's like they're saying "It's not possible to become a millionaire, so no point trying. It's best to just hate on people who have money."
I get the feeling that a channel like /c/landlord or /c/dividendinvesting would never take off on Lemmy.
disclaimer: not a millionaire(yet)
So true. Where I am, a podunk town in the deep south, most of the homes being built are 4 bed, 1800sf+. The 'starter' homes with 3 beds, 1200sf are still like $185k which is ridiculous compared to what people make around here.
Even building condominiums would be an improvement. Personally, I hate condos (because I own one) but at least it gives people the chance to own something.
I don't think it will burst. It'll just slowly deflate as new houses come onto the market and demand eases. The main problem (at least where I live) is that there just aren't enough houses being built. I don't think we'll see a sharp price drop anytime soon because there are so many people waiting to buy.
I know these are old and obscure choices, but my main games are Railroad Tycoon 3 and Planetary Annihilation: Titans. Occasionally, Civilization IV, Empire Earth, and the original Theme Park.
I guess I love any game where you can put in a lot of work in the beginning, then just coast the rest of the way to the finish line.
Damn, you beat me to it. Randolph and Mortimer would be pissed to hear about this.
You could try Dolphin. It's the default file manager in KDE, but I think you can install it by itself.
It should be available as an apt package in Ubuntu.
Wow, Canada really is nicer. In the US, that wheelchair would have been smashed, and they'd cut her a check for like 30% of it's replacement cost.
Were are the houses supposed to come from? I don't see many being built around me. Sellers aren't just going to put their house up for sale unless they have someplace to move to.
