Yeah it’s a cropped AI upres of a video still, this is the original.

It’s the Curiosity Rover team celebrating a successful world-first rocket crane landing.

No, but our Treasury Secretary recently floated the idea so it might become a thing soon. I believe there are already some 40-year mortgages, but they’re rare and non-standard. The 30-year mortgage has been an American institution since it was standardized under FDR’s New Deal in the 1930s.

They’re considering offering a 50-year mortgage product to a market where the average first time buyer age is 40. Like no joke they’re aiming to lock people into a mortgage that would cost more per month than renting the same property until they’re 90.

Probably because it’s a cropped section of a shitty AI upres of a video still, here’s an original.

It’s from 2012 when the NASA JPL team did a successful first-ever “rocket crane” landing to get the Curiosity rover onto the surface of Mars. It was actually a really touching / exciting moment, there’s lot of other photos out there of the team hugging and celebrating.

The guy who facilitates your mortgage contract isn’t getting your mortgage payments. The corporation that employs them is. The guy is making a wage or maybe just an hourly salary, plus commission.

By your logic, the checkout worker at costco is skimming off your wages to gate your access to food and clothing. The only difference is that you wouldn’t personally object morally to that line of work, but your personal morality isn’t a class distinction.

All companies are “capitalist AF”. It’s not just banks. But even a sleezy car salesman who is trained to convince you to sign an extortive lease isn’t oppressing you. He isn’t betraying you at a class level. He isn’t the one getting your monthly payments. His plight is exactly the same as yours.

This isn’t “wacko lib”, it’s literally Marx. And if we can’t understand that and stomach the differentiation, we will forever collectively stay oppressed.

Being able to tell the difference between a fellow worker and a class traitor isn’t bootlicking!

I wasn’t even the person who generalized and nazified, the comment above me did. What in the actual heck, buddy?

Not a single rips or shreds in sight.

No, they’re not. A lot of them don’t even have a degree in anything.

Your personal financial advisor is a person you should be able to trust with your important financial decisions. They guy at the bank handing you a contract to sign is an employee with a script on rails, a manager, and a commission structure.

In a better world it wouldn’t be like that but in a better world I don’t think I’d be going to a bank in the first place.

Yeah every commissioned salesperson you don’t like is literally nazi ss. Go off, you galaxybrained god.

Bank workers are, at best, getting a small bonus when you sign that mortgage. Your fellow worker isn’t the enemy.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never come across this.

I’ve known people who aren’t too keen on growing flowers, if only because it takes up space where they could be growing something more productive.

Guessing the real story is that the show didn’t sell enough tickets to be profitable.
