In a twisted way, Trump is inadvertently trying hard to prove that more guns in the hands of untrained people with no background checks are a bad idea, something NRA was hoping to keep down. The cat is out of the bag now.
I get the irony but if he managed to actually enact some form of gun control in this country it would be the hardest pill in the world for people like us to swallow who just can’t stand that fucking idiot.
As much as it has zero chance of ever happening, he pushed for a max 10% on credit card debt. It’d all but destroy some banks, and people that dont have excellent credit would largely have zero credit availability, but I think it’s a good idea.
Credit cards is a money trickling up system. Banks charge the sellers and give a rebate to their customers. Sellers increase their price to compensate for the credit card fees.
And then the poor are denied credit cards and pay the marked-up price on everything, or are given credit cards knowing they will fail to pay back on time at some point and then pay huge interests.
It would be better for most if that system disappeared or was at least severely trimmed down!
Agreed. Short term pain for long term gain is something we desperately need to change but today’s culture is too lost in the system to ever deal with it.
If it meant a better life for my daughter when she grows up I’d do what I had to. I’m doing what I can but it isn’t much.

Anyway, fight girls.

He’d be doing the right thing but for the wrong reasons and in this case, for more authoritarian control
