Well, it’s not like they need to carry their own luggage

Speaking personally, my brain switches off when it comes to maths. Instruction is like white noise.

Unless you point out the genocide of Palestinians by Israel.

Currently doing my masters thesis and this rings true. I am not cut out for academia.

I don’t get it. If you’re a far-right asshole in America right now, what do you have to be angry about?

I assume everyone living in the vicinity has buns of steel and a resting heart rate of 40?

Beat me to it. Evergreen tweet.

It’s such a badly written and blatantly disingenuous article.

I totally agree with you. What I want is pie in the sky. Without regulation, nothing will change.

You asked for an alternative and I gave you one. You just aren’t happy at the idea that massive lenders can afford to make less.

And of course I’m motivated that it benefits me, and millions of ordinary people, what sort of psychopath wouldn’t be?

Mortgages are not a scam, I’ll give you that. But I’m pretty sure that anyone with a functional moral compass would recognise that usury is immoral.

Hardly. The market still exists, and lenders can still make a profit, just maybe not as much. It’s not rocket science.

Then someone else will take that lender’s place. Mortgage lending will, at whatever percentage, produce a stable rate of return. If anything, preventing exorbitant interest rates mitigates much of the risk involved in lending.

That’s not free. That’s just a less predatory rate of return.

I would further suggest that there is a hard cap on the interest which can be charged on any borrowing.
