    Idk much about real estate but house around my town isn’t going down. Even a half shit of a house with ruin carpets still goes for 200k.

    No. It would create no incentive to work. We could see more shortage of workers. With UBI, we may need to include a minimum mandatory hour worked or other activities. There r already talk about this and how this could be extreme “control.” Imagine if u can watch an ads and make money? That’s the kind of things being talk about. But this can easily turn into a state full control. People too dependent on the government.

    Is the house under your name?

    Personally I still feel good about 2020 and onwards despite all the doom and gloom, half of this is because I'm secure financially and half of it is because I think it's important to not get too clouded up about other people and the macroeconomy but instead focus on yourself and what will fulfill you. For a lot of younger people I think, owning a house isn't as important but of course this depends on your own values, some people value the freedom to pack up and leave without being strapped down to a big debt while others want to have a stable place to raise their family without the threat of potentially being kicked out.

    As for if I think the housing market will tank, I think it eventually will but it might not be an immediate thing as of yet, and the price drop will eventually also be limited so I don't really think a lot of the people wanting to buy property could get in except the ones who were somewhat wealthy even before, for others if they can convince a jittery bank without much savings is a question mark. My personal situation I'll likely never buy a house to stay in till I'm married since I find it a total waste of money but I wouldn't mind picking up a second place for a bargain to rent out. Alternatively, if I really wanted to live in a house what I'd do is just buy it and rent out all the spare rooms so tenants will help subsidise the mortgage kek.

    The biggest issue with UBI is how the economy works. The amount of $ in circulation is equal to the value created. By simply giving out salary to everyone, it is equivalent to causing inflation equal to what you give out.

    "Like you"? You assume anyone who disagrees with you must be from an enemy nation? You sure your name is not Kim Jong Un or something like that? Because that sure is a 3rd world dictator way of thinking.

    By the way, I work in CDC. So if anyone has the right to yell at people for health shit, it's me.
    You on the other hand are just using this pandemic as an excuse to be racist.

    There was some progress. Be it my overall health, physical condition, my ability to write or even my english grammar.

    I still feel empty, but it is not a bad emptiness anymore.

    Someday I gotta get out of the city and do some mountain climbing or outdoor trekking. Maybe this winter when the sunlight weakens a bit.

    Not terrible, but I can't help feel 2020 is just going get worse. Can't really say anything about the housing market, not something I'm particularly informed about, unfortunately.

    Is this real life? Is this a fantasy?
    Everything feels oddly normal and oddly not at the same time.
    I worry about my family
    I wonder if I'll live through it
    I'm oddly unconcerned about possibly dying and it's weird.

    Unpredictable. In crisis, there's opportunity.
