Spending 20% of MSRP on incentives is not profitable or sustainable

How about we just make tipping rounding and pay people a living wage? You know in Europe, eating out is not more expensive than it is in the US and they don't beg for tips. It's such bullshit here

But if this scenario were the case, then they likely would have visa sponsorship to work a white collar job. That would thus make them documented. Many banks have lending guidelines for this scenario, which again makes this law even more useless

Right, it is a loan, which means the principle is spent to buy a house for someone and they pay you back over 30 years. That is a huge capital investment with a long repayment period.

California also has low supply of housing for citizens, so why specifically help undocumented immigrants get housing when their claim is far less solid than a resident with proper standing?

This data is bullshit. The results were from 1 week after Biden announced he was stepping down. As of this week, Harris is consistently polling over 50%.

Also, voters have to choose from "Let's find a ceasefite" Harris and "Fuck them, Isreal should nuke them" Trump. It's not even a question, stop pretending it is one.

My dad and my stepmom would love to do more for our 2 year old, but my dad still works, my step-mom has a lot of health issues that they have to maintain appointments for, and they also have like 6 other grandchildren from my stepbrothers. My wife and I live an hour away and do very well financially, so they not only don't have the time, but could not realistically care for him that often.

My mom is well meaning, but my step-dad is a moron and they own like 4 vehicles and only 1 works. They are not poor, just dumb when it comes to cars. My mom is also a narcissist and it does not occur to her that if she asked to help more that she could. We've talked to her about it, and she just doesn't attempt to do anything.

My grandparents, now in their 80s, love every minute with the little guy, but they don't have the energy they used to.

Contrast that with out daycare: the facility is run by two sisters and their retired father helps out to keep busy. They hire teachers at a living wage and absolutely love the kids that attend. Our little guy has not yet had his 2nd birthday and he knows almost all of his letters, he can count to 14, he knows his shapes, and he has a great vocabulary already. He has a best friend, he is very social with the other kids and they all share very well. The older kids are all very well spoken, polite, and respectful to each other. We are so lucky we found such a great place.

Grandma and grandpa simply could not provide him with that. He is in a place where he is safe and loved at all times, and the cost to put him there should be tax deductible. We burn through the child care tax deduction by February.

And anyone who thinks Trump/Vance is the right choice for families is a fucking moron. It's ridiculous

Well, on average each state has 2% of the population. So, you could say any state with more than 6m people represents an above average population

Good luck, looks like the priced it by the pound

The Biden administration is actively working on brokering a cease fire. Did you know the US is not one of the combatants in this war?

Also your alternative is Trump. Kindly fall in line unless you think that Trump would provide a balanced approach. Spoiler alert,he 100% would not

Boromir would have patiently listened!!

He lost his reelection a while ago. His district changed due to redistricting. I met him at the Huntington Woods 4th of July parade. Really seemed like a great guy
