Mains electricity is highly regulated because it can and regularly does kill people and start house fires.

The amortization length affects proportion of principle paid down, but it doesn’t eliminate it entirely. At the same interest rate, you end up having paid more in interest at maturity of a longer amortization, yes. In practice, this can be mostly mitigated by negotiating a lower rate, or negotiating and exercising prepayment privileges.

It has to be this fucking stupid, because the weapon of choice against democracy is idiocracy.

Unhappily married couple, so focused on avoiding misery for a few months of divorce proceedings, decide instead to live miserable every day for the next 30 years.

You, the people, out in the streets, rioting, en masse. That’s how democracy was won, and it’s what is needed to maintain it.

A piece of paper means nothing if people with guns disregard it.

Why, the same people in support of Netenyaho, of course.

There’s only one reason to get a cybertruck, the one thing it is excellent at: grabbing attention.
