It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Do they really belive that it would be good to give property developers a bailout?

It's CNBC, a news channel by finance bros for finance bros.

The mere concept that rich people should not be coddled in literally every way imaginable is like hell to them.

Good point. Imagine how rich people must feel when they get no treats.

Oh were gonna spend billions of dollars bailing out all the people who thought it was a good investment to buy a bunch of rental properties and charge people more for rent than they make in a month.

Rent can't keep going up 20% every year for too long before something breaks.

It's really easy, renters can just make more money to pay rent. I don't see any problems with that. smuglord
