That’s the one. The possessed one.
That’s the one. The possessed one.
Any megachurch, to be honest. Any thing Pat Robertson did, that guy with the crazy demon eyes, Joel Osteen, etc
That was France, not the EU
… about fucking time?
But all politicians are equally at fault for not leglislating to ensure workers have livable salaries and encouraging the “outsourcing” thing that moved jobs overseas so people could buy cheaper Walmart stuff.
I guess both given the massive scale of the business and its massive impacts on the whole economy is reasonable
When banks loan against property and the collateral is the property itself, there should be an independent revaluation of the property to ensure the bank is not running into excessive risk by lending say, $300, on a property that is worth $200. In case the borrower default, then the banks sells the property for $200, but losses $100 because the property was only worth $200.
Trump claiming that banks never saw losses indicate that bank relationship managers were complicit in using distorted valuations to lend, potentially violating internal credit rules established by their own employers.
Another possibility is that Trump actually defaulted multiple times but banks do not publicly admit it.
The root cause that all comments here in Lemmy miss is the Chinese approach to tax funding, which is entirely built on cities and provinces being expected to generate tax income through land sales to property developers, and then public officials competency and rise inside the party being measured by the size of that tax income generated trough land sale.
China needs to adopt a western style of income and consumption taxation if they don’t have one but I understand that internal enforcements is very lax (to prevent popular protests) and corruption (that ends up siphoning off any revenue raised through taxes).
In short, that housing stock will remain unused and, without maintenance and continued use, will only deteriorate over time, leaving cities with a terrible burdensome legacy
Me too, but at least business casual should be expected?
Open elections when there is only one party in practice are moot
Apple can’t or Apple won’t?
I know but wearing olive drab is good for his soldier’s morale… “I’m on this with you” kind of thing
Zelenskyy I guess has no other choice as his country is in war and he is the supreme commander of his forces
Amazing how he has not been killed by a disgruntled business partner or investor yet
He must have based it off that Goebbels picture when he realized the photographer was Jewish
Great opportunity to sentence the orangebutt in absentia for treason
One developer was so broke, but it still tried to make do:
The group’s real estate development income plummeted from 1.1 billion yuan in 2021 to zero in 2022, according to China Chengxin Credit Ratings. It has even started selling corn and jujube fruit as a new business.
The attitude of the medical director is so British
GOP is so remarkably despicable
Worse, some of them are Ethical Altruists, just like Sam Bankman Fried of FTX
