Welp. Interest rates are staying steady (at least) until the next announcement in October.

I don’t feel like inflation has decreased. Housing is still exorbitant. But there haven’t been mass layoffs, so we’ve got that going for us.

    An aside but one thing I do/don’t like with lemmy (yes on fence) is the editorializing when posting links.

    That said, I’m happy rates stayed for now. We are now in wait and see mode. Will it go up more? Who knows. Rumour is another .25 hike this year and done. Time will tell.

    Edit - oh and housing prices by and large won’t be impacted unless the litany of other underlying issues are addressed which no party is currently doing.

      I really wish people would do more than post links. Summarize. Editorialize. Blather. I don’t care. Just make the community more interesting.

        Lol wut?

        I go to a party because it’s a social agreement that as adults we defer decision making to the politicians and parties we agree on. Activism is good, but like charity it shouldn’t be needed if the system worked properly in the first place.

            I have no idea what you are saying or going on about and I’ve read it 3 times. Nothing you’ve said is a counter argument. At best you’re shifting the goalposts to what I said.
