Nope didn’t say that at all, nice try though. You can be authoritarian and not bomb other countries and you can be authoritarian and bomb other countries.
Foreign affairs dont necessarily effect that determination.
The US I’d say is authoritarian and imperialist.
A country like Saudia Arabia or North Korea is just Authoritarian and tend to at least only meddle with boarding nations.
That’s cool and all but still irrelevant to the original point. You can be authoritarian to your own citizens domestically without invading other nations.
The US is both imperialist and authoritarian.
Look up the definition of authoritarianism. Bombing other countries is not the defining feature of an authoritarian government.
I would fully accept a law that allowed companies to advertise nationally the pre-tax price with a small disclaimer saying applicable taxes vary by location, and then require the in store price tags to reflect all taxes.
There’s no excuse not to anymore. Yes it does vary, and a computer can easily adjust the price.
In this case I understand not downsizing until your kids are established with a job/place to live.
Depending on equity and their mortgage payment it may not even be possible to downsize without paying more per month. That’s the insanity of the current market.
Remember this is an occupied family home with an unoccupied room. Not a whole property.
What would you suggest?
A lot of kids move back after college. I definitely wouldn’t downsize until my family was secure and for sure no longer needed the space.
Now the question is it better to allow that space sit vacant or rent out the space.
I think there is a defensible position for renting out a temporarily unused space in your primary home versus buying vacant properties solely to rent.
Sure you can argue they dont need that space, but a lot of kids return after college. If I had kids I’d only downsize once they are well established. It’s about ensuring the security of your family and ensuring they have a place to come back to.
Is it better to let that sit vacant for 4+ years though
Not an apartment complex, but a building makes sense.
I’m not saying it’s just, but there are some loans that allow you to buy a quadplex but you have to live there. You are free to rent out the remaining units.
Yeah stealing from random people to “survive” is not okay.
This isn’t stealing food from a store this is taking money from everyday people’s trying to rent an apartment
If their goal is to lose weight eating sugar doesn’t matter.
When I lost a ton of weight personally I just counted my calories. There were some days around holidays I just ate sugary junk, but kept it within my daily calorie limit. I was a bit hungrier those days but it was fine.
Now talking long term health monitoring sugar intake it important but worrying over fruit is silly. Like you could eat as much as you’d want until you couldn’t eat any more watermelon and still be below the amount of sugar in a can of coke
