Are you impressed when the Dow drops 6%? When your savings account magically shrinks by 6%. Many in the reality-based world use their homes as their main investment medium, and also as a source of cash via loans.

Of course, despite the new “affordability,” many in the US cannot find housing, and many who have it are losing it.

Sorry to let the facts intrude on your wonderful stream of consciousness rant – you were doing so well! Now go lie down and take your meds.

AIDS only infects .004% of the US population. Obviously not a significant problem and one we can simply ignore, especially since it primarily afflicts teh Gays (eeek!) and those shiftless black and brown folks, not decent, god-fearing, hard-working, straight, white folks like us.
