I personally replace 'small business owners' with 'appalling jizz piss boners'

For 'pro-business' read 'swingeing privatisation' but yeah the whole thing is a mess, and I'm not sure it's possible to have 'free and fair' (whatever that means) elections under such conditions.

Wrt reasons to doubt the result, electronic vote counting/voting machines are reason enough imho — but that throws a load of other democracies into question 🤷

Not saying that nothing fishy has gone down, but that 'exit poll' was conducted by the opposition, and that margin seems ridiculous considering the crowds that Maduro has been drawing

On the contrary, it's often new hardware that causes the problems because the drivers won't have been reverse-engineered yet

There's a difference between ideology and affect. I'm sure plenty of Nazis are "nice"

I mean, it's pretty self-explanatory, right?

But, just in case: it's basically impossible to save for a deposit when your income is getting gobbled up by rent. If you are lucky enough that a family member can help you out with the deposit, then not only do your monthly outgoings go down (mortgage payments + taxes, maintenance costs etc are always going to be less than rent in an equivalent abode), but most of that money is going directly into your property i.e. it's still yours.

So, obviously, anyone would choose owning over renting, apart from in some very specific circumstances. It's not that people are too stupid to come up with the genius idea of buying a house. You're flushing money down the toilet every time you pay a rent cheque, and everyone knows this. But that constant haemorrhaging of money is what makes renting a trap.

P.S. I can be more condescending than this if you still aren't getting it
