Haha, basically the same. I actually bought another 4a 5G a year or two ago to replace my old one that died because I want to run GrapheneOS and it was the last model with a headphone jack.

Nope. Once the bubble bursts the squeeze-out of the middle class will be truly begun as pensions fail and governments on the edge of default are forced to squeeze them to repay their debts to the wealthy.

lol do it. Watching the accelerationists burn their own house down's kind of poetic.

That's the point. With the government nearly broke, he's trying to pump out the last of the wealth there by gutting the welfare state to free up more capital for his investments. He's since been mostly sidelined, but the corporatist wing of the MAGA coalition are working on a lot of the same plays behind the scenes still.

Duh. This is what unchecked wealth inequality is doing. As retirees sell their house to fund retirements and new properties are built, people with already sizable passive income streams are buying them up to increase their passive income streams by turning them into rentals. If you want to build more, developers need to bid against that same wealth for land, driving up the cost of the units and further driving them into wealthy portfolios. Governments are pretty much fully leveraged after covid, so they've got few assets to help subsidize affordable housing, which is often being privately sold anyway and will be sold by those owners later at market prices when these cash strapped families need the money (for retirement or unexpected troubles).

The squeeze-out of the middle class has begun.

Not much different than a link to change your password that had those two random values added as a query parameter (which is what the link you get effectively does). Uncommon way to do it, but no real difference in the security model. Good to see they have a way to expire the password and force you to reset it if they ever had a compromise (since they note it has less than 1 day's validity). Another upside is that by having already changed your password to this new random value, your account should also be locked until the password is changed. That one's a mixed bag. Could be nice to know someone tried, could be frustrating if someone uses this to mildly DoS your account.
