Last time housing prices crashed in the USA, people's incomes crashed as well or their mortgage obtaining ability did. All it meant was that the already rich and corporations were able to buy up real estate cheap. Did not remotely help 90% of the population.

Was in a foreign country recently. The toilets were marked M/F. Walked in one door and my husband went in the other and they both opened into the same large room with sinks in the middle and fully closed cubicles around the edge.

It's a waste for a D to bring Impeachment charges. Unless Rs do it, it will never pass and will always seem politically motivated.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I understand that Trump might be confused about this. He isn't doing anything that he didn't specifically say he would do when he was asking for people's votes. They loved him before the election. They loved voting for him. I can understand why he might not believe that suddenly they don't like him. Somewhat the same for Musk except he started crashing back with the purchase of Twitter so he should have had time to understand that he was driving his fans away the further right-psycho he got.

This is all polls, given that ballots won't be counted until after 7pm April 28. If you didn't vote this weekend at advance, get out and vote on the 28th. Take your Voter Information card and driver's licence if you have them.

You have to go for the stuff with added fat - barista style - to get anything approaching decent.

It's almost as if many white men in important jobs are only there as "special hires" and not because of qualifications or aptitude.

I'm disappointed that so many people are still headed south. Maybe it is travel that was booked prior to January or they have kids in uni that need to come home or something. I hope April is double the March numbers.

He is a very good example why celebrities shouldn't be worshipped. Yes they are often very good, world class, at some thing. But only that one thing. They may be shit at everything else, including being a decent human being. Enjoy what talent they share - a great goal scorer is a great goal scorer - but don't ascribe more to them than that. They can't topple off a pedestal if you don't put them up there to begin with.

Probably true. It is Trump backing the US into a corner. No other country in backing them there. Americans need to decide, do they get rid of him, or are they willingly sacrificing their family members so he can increase his net wealth (and that of his kids) at average Americans' expense? Unfortunately I expect Americans will be "patriotic" and die to give Trump not only all their money but also their health and lives.

Except, for example many Canadians, who are really fed up with being the kick ball for American Presidents (Trump has a lot of company when it comes to tariffs), who will do their best to not buy anything from the USA. I predict our trade deficit will go in the opposite direction that Trump hopes. The USA still needs to buy electricity, gas/oil, wood, and various other raw products from Canada. We don't have to buy finished goods from the USA since there are plenty of other countries to supply them. We really don't need to vacation there.

A little late for any GOP to be complaining now. This is exactly what they voted for. None of what is happening now is a surprise; it was well known during the election.
