From what I loosely gather (heard, not claim), it was something about mortgage loans lended to applicants who couldn't afford them or mortgage interest rates suddenly rising on already established homeowners (I'm not sure how that one would be, unless mortgages weren't at fixed rates).
I really don't know because "explanatory" (exculpatory) articles play hot potato and shrug, and I wasn't old enough at the time.
Anyone here know?
(Had to stare at my ceiling for a minute to take in the cardboard world.)
Thank you for the explanation. (Sincerely, thank you. I've wanted to know.)
tl;dr jews & niggers
Jew money magic kaballah
I see it.
God, there needs to be death.
@grey @Ash_Kvetchum 2002 changes to the community reinvestment act allowed for lones with no income verification. backed by billions in gov funds in guarantees. people only talk about what happened after 2007... they never bring up the billions allocated in 2002.
@grey @Ash_Kvetchum https://youtu.be/ZL5fT5nkcgM how many time does he say, home ownership is no longer just for white people...
Thank you for the explanation (sincere)
It's good to have this in my pocket. Thank you
>bank notes are just a promise to pay from the government
errrrm guys… have we been had!?
@weaf @Ash_Kvetchum @grey Don't forget the part where the banks said,
Oh, the loans are guaranteed, eh? Then, we won't vet the borrowers' incomes vs the loan-amounts AT ALL!!
It would have been good if poor people could get loans to buy cheap houses in poor neighborhoods, instead of being rent-slaves. Folks like Larry Fink HATED that idea.
NIxion took us off the gold standard, and this idea of houses as investments had taken root. creative ways to reduce supply and "increase affordablity" at the same time were flying around.
30 years later, new buyers were needed; unsustainable fake luxury houses were in the mix.
You can debate for hours about the exact path the money took, but the reducing supply but "increase affordability" is the same grift as elsewhere. Paper isnt real while supply and demand is.
