You know what really annoys the shit out of me?


That FAST talking they do at the end of car commercials on the radio (I know, who listens to the fucking radio anymore but I do when my alarm clock goes off).

It's so ghey because you know they're bound by some law to include that language in the commercial but you can hardly understand any of that bullshit and the fast talking bullshit is just as long as the actual commercial itself.

incorrect. by spending we are putting money back into the economy, helping businesses stay in business and hopefully grow, which creates more jobs. the more money we spend, the better off the economy is. as long as it is actual money and not credit (debt).

I think it depends on what your rent to salary ratio is and also the circumstances of the person/company you're renting from. If you're paying a good chunk of your salary in rent, there's not going to be a lot left over to stimulate the economy once you factor in utilities, internet, cell phone, transportation, student loans, etc... And if the person you're paying rent to has a mortgage on the place, which these days a lot of people do, they're throwing all of your rent towards the bank so there's not much stimulating happening there either other than the bank raking in more cash.

One of my econ professors was always chirping about how during times of economic strife, us uppity city slickers (his words) should be thankful to those who live in suburban areas or smaller towns/cities as their rent/mortgage payments per month are normally quite smaller as a % of their household income so they have more disposable cash to spend. Actually low income people are the same. A lot of them are already living in subsidised housing and don't have a mortgage or credit card debt that's affected by a shitty economy/rising interest rates/rising unemployment so they still have cash to spend whereas we're stuck living in densely populated places with soaring rental prices, sometimes having to accept lower wages than our previous job because of the number of people in competition for employment.
