Housing Market Crash 2008 Explained: Causes and Effects​


The subprime mortgage crisis was a significant contributor to the housing market crash of 2008. Banks and other financial institutions gave loans to people who did not have the creditworthiness to repay them, which were then packaged and sold to investors as mortgage-backed securities. When homeowners began defaulting on their mortgages, the value of these securities plummeted, leading to significant losses for investors.

It’s not a mystery . It was my job . I was in the industry ,on the legal and financial side.

In a nutshell, banks and mortgage companies were shamed into offering mortgage loans to people they knew couldn’t afford it, and would default in short order.

That’s it. Not really any need for further discussion.

It's primarily because he's still young and his parents paid for him to go to an expensive Liberal Arts College. so he is the product of his education and will claim nine ways to sunday that colleges aren't indoctrinating kids.
I’m a product of my surroundings, absolutely. But that’s been basically from the jump. Was a rabid lefty long before I made it to college. You know Thomas Crooks’s classmates’ story about the time they lined up by political affiliation and he was alone on the conservative side? That was me in AP Government, just in reverse. I’m been getting called a dirty commie since long before I went to college or got on this thread.
 
See the picture of Kim Jung Un? In a room with NK children. The big fat man holding food in both hands laughing while skinny children are gathered around him crying. Made me think of Biden, Harris, Walz, Obama, Shumer, Pelosi, etc sitting there instead of the socialist fat man. ALL they care about is power. Trump cares about the American people. But half of the Americans don't care. They want all the bad things for the country and people. How did so much ignorance build up in this country. Literally need to send those 48% of the people to Venezuela since they like socialism so much and replace them with people from a country that believe in what America was built on.
“All they care about is power. Trump cares about the American people.” This is another level of brainwash than most. Trump has never cared anything in life but himself. Look at his whole life. Family hates him, you can’t find anyone with something nice to say about him. He only does what’s best for him. Except now you think he’s doing what’s best for others? Jesus, this has to be a troll post.

This is full projection. MAGA is roughly a third of the country. That is nowhere close to a majority. You only have a chance at elections when you bring in average people.
Very close to a majority. And that’s with rino, never-trump establishment types with TDS being gaping vaginas (see Vhnetcat). He appeals to the average American. That’s literally his base. Maybe you should travel more.

Worlds biggest grifter. Remember when he said he supports the legalization of weed? Then in 2018 supported the death penalty for drug dealers?


Trump will tell you what you want to hear.

Ras always seems to like Trump but I won't call it a bias.
Rasmussen tweets out stuff about Jan 6th being just a sightseeing tour all the time. Are you serious? Do you not know about their history?

Good call on the wrestling. Can’t think of a more apt descriptor of his vapidity. Garbage in, garbage out.
 
You want me to get in a pissing contest about stupid shit career politicians have said and flip flopped on? I’ll go by what Trump has actually done (first step act) rather than some off the cuff comment he made. Grief, you people are thick.
Did Trump not call for the death penalty for drug dealers, leading to Jeff Sessions saying this?

”At the Department of Justice, we have made ending the drug epidemic a priority,” Sessions said. “We will continue to aggressively prosecute drug traffickers and we will use federal law to seek the death penalty wherever appropriate.”

Hey man, if you wanna vote for a grifting authoritarian, go ahead. It's either him or a socialist. Not good prospects in America.
 
It is. Already been decided by the SC.

''Schenck v. United States established a nuanced approach to free speech, requiring a direct and imminent threat to public safety before restricting speech.''
Schenck was overruled by Brandenburg v. Ohio in ‘69. You’re not quoting the correct thing to support your argument.

Partially. It's still not illegal to say that on it's own. If someone stampedes and dies because of it. Then you can be charged. But if you just yell fire, nothing is going to happen.

What did Trump *do*? Hard question for thick headed, arrogant assholes, right?

''Authoritarians can behave very aggressively towards people whom their leaders have marked as enemies, or whom the authoritarians perceive to be threats to the proper social order. Anyone can become the target of authoritarian aggression, but it is more frequently outsiders''.



How about printing 5.2 trillion dollars for starters...

If you honestly believe this you’re in deeper than I can rescue. Sorry, MAGA is nowhere close to half the country. Or y’all wouldn’t be having these problems. You are a loud, large minority.

Careful, he'll call you a sheep. While he keeps ''voting'' year after year.

Wasn’t disputing the content, as you can tell from my phrasing. Just the citations. Brandenburg in practice expanded Schenk, but it still technically overruled it and is the operating precedent that should be cited.

legalizing weed has nothing nada to do with death penalty for drug dealers. Kamala’s pandering is some of the all time worst. 25000 for first time homebuyer? She’s a definite economic lightweight: she seems to not understand simple economic principles. She was an AG so on the economy she is untested and it showed today.

Trump could bury her if he wanted to frame lámalas inflation as a tax that will never go away.

I may be many things, many of them not so nice. But one thing I am not is a sheep. Almost all my positions are so radical they aren’t being discussed in American political discourse at all, let alone part of a narrative being fed to the masses.

Kamala sucks ass. Literally a socialist.


If you support legal weed use. Why would you puruse the death penalty for weed dealers? Kinda retarded.

You're a communist right? Just go to reddit or any college...
 
It's basically a 2-party system locally as well.
If it's local you tend to know the politicians.


The ''2'' party system is a one party system. It's just what flavor of government overreach do you want? That's basically what people bitch about nowadays. Which ''party'' will trample on their freedom for the next 4 years?


People really treat this shit like football teams too.

Democratic socialist, but yes. Does reddit or any college have any sway in our political system? Protesters on college campuses have been punished, brutalized, ostracized, silenced, and called antisemites for months just for having the nerve to not approve of American bombs being used in genocide. What're the Republican and Democratic party positions? If you think they're in line with reddit and colleges you have another think comin'. My positions are my own, as clearly evidenced by, for instance, my men's/women's sports take. Not gonna find that on many college campuses.

I don't agree with what you just wrote. And I think socialism and a centrally planned economy is stupid. And a death cult. But I respect you for having your own ideas.


One of the biggest failures of the west. Is not pushing onto Moscow after the nazis and Japan put down their guns.
