Theres very few actual burns/trump types out there. Most wealthy people worked their way up
And ironically the types i do know like that are the ones calling for socialist reforms. Only difference between them and Burns being that they like to hide their affluence
Idk maybe its just an Austin thing
Sorry, that's just factually incorrect. Most wealthy people were born into it, although for sure there are plenty of stories of people coming from poor backgrounds and making wealth. It's just that the vast majority don't.
Anyway got stuff to do, and this is all off topic. Carry on with the war(s).

Most of the fat cats i know did it with a career in real estate and tech. They didn't inherit their wealth. Jobs like that would bore the shit out of me, and probably you, but they DID earn their way up.
The people i know calling for stuff like socialism are mostly the younger hipster types(from well to do families ofcourse) who can afford to have an activist mentality about everything and a lot of them didn't actually earn what they have. One of them comes from one of those royal families in Saudi Arabia. If you can believe that

IDF, the west Bank 'settlers', and the militant Zionists fear the light of the press the same way cockroaches fear light in general.

Palestinian Journalist Mujahed al-Saadi Violently Arrested by Israeli Forces in Home Raid
Al-Saadi is being held in administrative detention at Megiddo, a prison known for abuse
Sharif Abdel Kouddous
Sep 24, 2024
This month, we published a dispatch from Palestinian journalist Mujahed al-Saadi documenting the IDF’s siege of hospitals in Jenin. On Thursday, al-Saadi was violently dragged from his home and remains in Israeli captivity.
At around 2:30 a.m. on September 19, several Israeli military vehicles surrounded the home of Mujahed al-Saadi, a well-known Palestinian journalist in the West Bank.
Members of an Israeli special forces unit broke down his door and stormed inside, according to Mujahed’s brother, Hamadah. Using the butts of their M16 rifles and their bare fists, they beat the barefoot al-Saadi in his face and chest. Al-Saadi’s wife, three young children, and father also reside in the house. When his wife tried to hand him his shoes, the soldiers beat her as well, according to his colleague in Jenin who asked to remain anonymous out of fear for their safety.
The Israeli soldiers then took Mujahed to Jalameh prison to interrogate him before transferring him to Megiddo, a prison notorious for abuse and mistreatment of prisoners. At least four detainees have died inside the prison since October as a result of severe beatings by prison guards or medical neglect.
Since al-Saadi’s arrest on Thursday, he has had no contact with family members or his lawyer. Hamadah said he is being held in administrative detention, a policy under which prisoners can be held without charge indefinitely.
The Israeli military did not provide a response in time for publication.

A veteran journalist based in Jenin, al-Saadi has covered the region since 2012. He reported a story for Drop Site News earlier this month on Israeli forces laying siege to hospitals in Jenin during its invasion of the city and refugee camp. In the course of his reporting, he and a group of colleagues came under fire from Israeli troops, who proceeded to charge at them at high speeds with bulldozers. On May 11, 2022, al-Saadi was reporting on the aftermath of an Israeli raid on the Jenin refugee camp. He was standing only a few feet from Shireen Abu Akleh, the renowned Al Jazeera journalist, when an Israeli sniper murdered her. (You can watch al-Saadi’s account of that day in the Fault Lines documentary, “The Killing of Shireen Abu Akleh”).
Since October 7, Israel has arrested an unprecedented 51 journalists and media workers in the West Bank, Gaza, and Jerusalem, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Israel continues to hold at least 14 of those journalists under administrative detention.
“Israel has been arresting Palestinian journalists in record numbers and using administrative detention to keep them behind bars, thus depriving the region not only of much needed information, but also of Palestinian voices on the conflict,” CPJ Program Director Carlos Martínez de la Serna said in a statement.
On Sunday—three days after al-Saadi’s arrest—armed Israeli soldiers raided Al Jazeera’s bureau in Ramallah and ordered the network to shut down operations for 45 days. Walid al-Omari, Al Jazeera’s West Bank bureau chief, said the Israeli military’s closure order accused the network of “incitement to and support of terrorism” without providing evidence. The network later aired footage of Israel troops tearing down a banner of Shireen Abu Akleh on a balcony used by the Al Jazeera office.
In Gaza, the Israeli military has killed over 160 journalists, over the past year, making it the deadliest place in the world for journalists in living memory.

Yes unfortunately audiohi. In capitalism failures need to be allowed to fail . It's sad ,but it allows others the opportunity to own a home. I am not the courts . We just put in a bid and clean up the property cut trees haul trash trees and debree.
A big part of the problem is that the left forces people to give mortgages to people that can't make the payments. This is unfair to everyone involved. No one should have to pay for someone else.

The Left does that?
I suggest you study a bit on who controlled what at the beginning of the housing implosion that began under GW, before Obama took over.
The FACT is that Wall Streeters and investment bankers get their cut from closing on deals that often/sometimes defy the existing laws and regulations, which is what happened in 2008.
And guess what? After the TARP bailouts, most of those brokers and related occupations weren't required to sell or forfeit those private jets, expensive sportscars, country estates, etc. that they'd purchased with the ill-gotten gains they received by closing deals that defied the law and regs, which the public covered the tabs on when they put their own businesses into heavy red ink.
Left? Pfft...

The TARP began under GW, as did the housing implosions which were heavily contributed to by dishonest/illegal activities by Wall St.
While Clinton was a scumbag and helped to repeal Glas-Stegal, the wrong-doing that crippled the housing market was largely on Wall St. and their investment bankers and mortgage companies.
They were violating the regulations governing the Act you refer to and profiting from it, and were able to retain ill-gotten gains.
Check it out, if you would.
I suggest less half-truth AM partisan hate radio.
