That there's a Spee-nard MANSION!
Nobody needs a car that goes over the legal speed limit, too.
Some say we don't need guns with 30-round magazines and semi-auto capability.
Right, but most folks accept that if they want a performance car it is A: going to cost more to buy than an economy 4-banger, and B: they will be paying more for gas and maintenance over the long haul.
They don't go into the car dealership and plunk down $600 a month for a payment and then claim they were "misled" when the non-hidden-at-any-time payment, gas and insurance costs catch up to them.
If they do complain, we roundly heckle them for being so patently stupid.
Folks who do the equivilent financing on a house deserve similar scorn, not hand-wringing over "evil lenders" and an "out-of-control market".
That big farmhouse in the sticks
should be affordable. The problem is the idiots who think they can, or even should be
able to, get the same house within 30 minutes of a major downtown core in a nice neighborhood with nice schools and a good-sized yard.
That isn't realistic thinking, market be damned.
