Reminds me of when a dude I knew was posting on Facebook how gas prices were too high and filling up his two new Cadillac Escalades was getting way too expensive because of Obamacare or something.

God damn we are a country full of idiots.

I'm in the process of purchasing a house. The current resident used a loanshark to buy the house for her as she could not qualify for traditional financing. After a few years she still could not get traditional financing and the loanshark wants to sell the property. The current tenant is a little upset at me as she views me as stealing the house from under her.

Part of why she can't afford the house and I can is that she drives a Cadillac escalade and I drive a tiny 5 speed hatchback car.
