Those executive orders were implemented, right?
They need the president to sign it, to do so.
So what you are saying makes no sense. What's your argument?
He could explain them, but could not write his signature? Why?
Trump seems to think it is very 'presidential' to sign papers,
but it's the easiest part of being president. You could do it.

They don't need the president to understand it, just sign it.
Biden explained them, while Trump needed to get them explained.
That shows clearly that Biden understood what he signed and Trump doesn't.

Recently, Trump did start to explain some of them, very poorly.
He probably heard that 'autopen' argument and understood it applies to him.
It never applied to Biden though. You were doing projection, like always.
As soon as you see something you don't like from Trump, you need to
project it onto a Democrat, or your head will explode.

OMG he cannot talk, aaaahhhhrrrggg, Biden, Biden, sigh.
OMG he cannot walk, aaaahhhhrrrggg, Biden, Biden, sigh.
OMG he's fucking stupid, aaaahhhhrrrggg, Biden, Biden, sigh.
OMG he's fucking scamming me, aaaahhhhrrrggg, Biden, Biden, sigh.

It's so sad that you need to make-believe to support a side that you willingly chose
and can willingly change. Who are you fooling, besides yourself?

Mutual funds are managed by some finance company, making profits and giving you some of their profits. What is left for you all depends on how much they charge in "fees and operating expenses". It's outsourcing of the knowledge that is needed
to do investing yourself.

A bond is just a loan with an interest rate. You have a fixed interest rate, and you take the chance that it stays higher than the inflation rate. The only thing you own with bonds is someone else's debt. It's "investing", and it's better than saving money in the long run, but it doesn't require much knowledge.

Do you think Warren Buffet is "playing" the stock market?
The difference between playing and investing is knowledge and skill.
If you don't have it, you are right to never invest in stocks.
But, it's not rocket science. Many people who are successful traders are not geniuses and do not have Master of Finance degrees. It just requires some knowledge, skills, patience and discipline. They are not teaching that knowledge
in school, because your politicians don't want people to understand the economy.
It would be immunization against their lies. They're only teaching that to rich kids,
in expensive schools, so they keep their advantage over the sheeple.

I have been fooled once. I signed a contract with Annuity policy a long time ago. After about two years, I saw that the value was about 40% of my deposit, because their costs were very high. I then stopped depositing in it.
That's when I started investing in (mutual) funds and a few years later in stocks.
I never bought any bonds, mostly because my pension with my employer is around 80% bonds already.

I only sold stocks at a loss ONE time, loosing about $300, because the company went bust. I own around $20,000 in stocks right now, but that is the result of about 60 transactions over 20 years, from a total original deposit of about $7000 over that time, most of it in the last 5 years. It's a hobby, but I'm slowly expanding it, while I learn, which is what I plan to do for the rest of my life.
During and after the 2008 crisis, I could not sell my stocks for a while, because some of them had tanked before I could sell them. Instead, I bought more, which partially resulted in that $13,000 accumulation. I am now saving more than investing, building up cash, for when the next crisis hits.

If you trade stocks, no one can fool you, besides you yourself.
If you trust some finance company, you are always getting fooled.

Thanks for the book endorsement. I hope to get around to that one
at some point.

They are confusing the dictatorship of Russia with Marx's ideals.
You can try to correct them, but they don't want to be correct.
Understanding politics doesn't serve their ruling class.

Socialism isn't the first step to communism, that is Grog parroting
decades of indoctrination. It just summarizes what's available.

Capitalism and communism end up at the same place; wealthy and powerful people controlling everything and the people owning and controlling NOTHING. That's because power and wealth corrupt everything. It doesn't matter where you start to centralize money. If it's the government, they will accumulate money and power and strip it away from the people.
If you let private citizens take too much money and exploit everyone else, they will accumulate money, buy more and more power, strip it away from everyone else and take over the government. The result is the same.
If you then combine it with stupid cult-like followers, who are willing to fight and die for their leaders, because they will get a bit more scraps than the rest, that is very similar to the 'communism' of Russia. The best term to use for that is totalitarian state-capitalism.
With the billionaires now entering your government, when they are not satisfied with buying politicians anymore, turning a corrupt democracy in a sham-democracy, while only allowing speech that they like, ignoring the Legislative Branch and the Judicial Branch, you're heading at mach speed to the same thing: totalitarian state-capitalism. I just call it 'communism',
in the comment below, because that's how it's known by the masses.

Marxian communism (theoretical):
- Economic power: fully distributed
- Political power: fully participatory

Socialism of the Dutch Socialist party (Idealism):
- Economic power: extensive redistribution, strong public control
- Political power: high participatory input and grassroots movements

Socialism of the Dutch Socialist party (current pragmatism):
- Economic power: highly redistributive, but constrained by status quo
- Political power: supports optimizing normal parliamentary politics

Stalinist USSR / Pol Pot’s Cambodia ('communism' as the masses know it):
- Economic power: extremely concentrated
- Political power: extremely authoritarian

Putin’s leadership (Russia, 2000s–present):
- Economic power: highly concentrated (state-control and oligarchs)
- Political power: extremely authoritarian (centralized, repression)

MAGA capitalism:
- Economic power: highly concentrated (billionaires = job providers)
- Political power: strongly authoritarian (cult-leader Trump rules all)

Kristi Noem PANICS as ICE Stats Reveal Total Failure

She's cutting the training to SIX weeks. They are letting in:
- recruits that have failed drugs test and have disqualifying criminal backgrounds
- people who's doctors signed forms that they are unfit for any physical activity
- people who are failing open-book tests, because they can barely read or write
- people up to and over the of 60, while it was previously 37
They are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

From the people who get arrested nationally, only 7% has any violent criminal conviction.
In Washington and Massachusetts it's 2%. In Washington, 84% do not even have a traffic violation. People understand that this is not about fighting crime.

The cruelty was always the point and the incompetency is making the cruelty visible.
That's why only 37% of Americans agree with how Trump handles immigration.

Just another stupid lazy flip. Is that all you are capable of?
I just showed you Biden explaining it and Trump needing it being explained to him.

Sure, humanity is emitting more CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O than nature can ever absorb resulting in climate change, polluting the world and all our bodies with micro-plastics, destroying nature with Ammonia (NH₃ )/Nitrates (NO₃ )/Nitrogen oxides (NOₓ ) from livestock waste, “forever chemicals” like PCBs, DDT, Dioxins and PFAS, heavy metals from fossil fuel extraction and combustion, and CFCs/halons destroying the ozone layer (even though we mostly banned them).

Do you think an environment where the bees die, is not damaging YOUR health?

That's indeed all a more serious and more imminent problem than the current little increase in the background radiation, I agree. But it took hundreds of billions of dollars to keep it limited to a little increase in the background radiation. Those are the downsides of nuclear energy, which make it a stupid alternative for fossil fuels.
There are better alternatives, that are not linked with risks of country-disrupting costs for eons, making large areas of the earth uninhabitable and easy access to nuclear weapons or dirty bombs. Why support expensive and dangerous solutions over cheap and safe ones?

If you care about it, you are supporting the wrong party/president.
They care about wealthy people being allowed to exploit you,
at whatever cost to your livelihood, health and life period.

They show you daily how much they hate poor people with brown skin.
They hate poor people with white skin, only a little bit less.
If you think that you don't qualify as 'poor', don't worry, you will.

Wow phart, you are actually showing principles and taking the argument
to someone on your own political side. I am SO proud of you.

Why do you guys always show how dumb you are, by not understanding
the difference between communism and socialism? You are really proud
of your ignorance, aren't you?

Your orange buffoon is literally forcing big companies (like Intel) to sell off
part of their ownership to the government. If a Democrat did that, you would
be shouting "COMMUNISM!" from the rooftops. I predicted that MAGA would
go communist, you just don't understand it enough to see it happening.
You let Elon Musk, a South African immigrant (probably got his citizen status illegally, if you check it) rummage around in your government finances and your private citizen data, without any oversight or transparency.
Your VP serves a billionaire who own a mass surveillance tech company.
You're blindly supporting a future where the trillionaire techbro's join with
your (next) billionaire president and corrupt politicians, and rule over the poor masses with mass surveillance and an iron fist, just like East Germany before the fall of the iron curtain. There is no difference between the government owning the means of production, and the owners of the means of production having full control of the government. It's both COMMUNISM.

YOU are the COMMUNIST!!!


I am a SOCIALIST: I want to maximize democracy and decentralize ownership of the means of production, making everyone who participates in it benefit
from it directly, without owners exploiting the working class. I would be content with Social Democracy, but I prefer Democratic Socialism, which is the flavor
of Socialism that I like. What you call "socialism" isn't Socialism, and it is definitely not communism as it is known from history.

When phart is talking about Ukraine, that's my business more than yours.
Europe is close to war, with your former enemy. We chose your side in the
cold war, joined NATO with you, gave you control over most of the world
and it's resources, and now your hanging us out to dry, because your
fascist wannabe dictator loves every horrible dictator in the world and
hates democracies. You follow that traitor like he is Jesus.

Until your dictator bans all speech that he doesn't like, I'll be here
crapping all over your cult of hate and ignorance.

How about the internet being the open marketplace of ideas, little snowflake.

The difference between Biden and Trump, when they sign an executive order:

then signs it, making a big fuss about signing papers.

Pretty pathetic that senile Biden knew better what he signed,
than your excuse for a president.

Investigating, like looking up information about him.
Do you have anything else than the internet?
Did you ever do business with him? I guess not.

The internet is a jungle with everything between absolute lies and accurate science. It's up to your critical thinking skills and knowledge to know what's what.
It's easy to recognize when right-wing media is lying. If they are very vague,
you can be sure that they are lying. When journalists are adding lots of details,
it makes it easy to verify those claims.

I don't like Hilary Clinton. Why bring her up? It's a 'whataboutism'. In any case, she is horrible, but not nearly as vile, evil, criminal and corrupt as Trump.

I don't care about a D or an R, because there are lots of D's that I hate.
That's the thinking of an American, who is used to only 2 parties. We have 27. That requires lots more political insight.

Trump was an asshole when he was a Democrat too. You should learn to look beyond party lines. It makes you an easy victim for scamming.

OK, he is narcissistic enough to think he needs to be president.
The problem is that you agree with him.

He didn't, and it's fucking ridiculous to think so.

He ran for president for self-aggrandizement and then found out that too many people are actually stupid enough to vote for him. He never wanted to be president, but his narcissism prevented him from quitting. Then he got hooked
on people worshiping him. It's so ridiculous that no one ever came up with a story like that, but it's real life. It's your stupidity that made it possible.

In 2024, he was forced to keep it up, to escape his own crimes.
He is now on a rampage vengeance campaign to hurt everyone who elected him.
You're just dumb enough to not understand when he tells you.

Iowa's Abortion Law Turned Against This Conservative Mother

One day, your pregnancy goes catastrophically wrong. The baby cannot live,

Suddenly, all those "pro-life" laws that you supported are the reason that the doctors
are too afraid to save your life.

The problem with Chernobyl is that it takes constant effort and money to KEEP
that radiation isolated.

only registered users can see external links

If they don't disassemble the reactor (which would be incredibly expensive), they will need to keep it covered for many hundreds to thousands of years, which would be incredibly expensive. Since Ukraine will probably not be able to pay for it, that means the rest of the world needs to, unless we want it to spread all over the earth.

At least Japan is capable of paying for their "little accident" themselves. They made the whole of earth a little bit more radioactive, resulting in accumulation of radioactivity in animals on top of the food chain (humans), but at least they are doing a reasonable job of containing it now. Still, it will probably cost them much more than nuclear power ever made them. That's the constant gamble being taken, by every country who is using nuclear power. The slightest accident or inevitable natural disaster can damage your country more than nuclear power ever benefited it.

If your country is ever at war, or there are some terrorist who don't like you, you could just paint a big bullseye on every nuclear plant, because that's the reality of it.

It's much better to use that big nuclear reactor in the sky for energy. It's cheap, it's safe, and it doesn't blow up for another 5 billion years.

Domesticated honey bees are not the only bees that would go extinct, they will
probably be the last to go extinct. It's wild bees that you need to worry about.

Other pollinators, including flies, butterflies, beetles, birds, and bats, would continue
to help pollinate plants, but they generally do not pollinate as effectively as bees for many crops. Some plants that depend heavily on bees would produce much less fruit or seeds without them. Humans wouldn’t necessarily go extinct without bees, but agriculture, food diversity, and ecosystems would face major disruptions.

Would humans go extinct without bees?

Did you actually READ anything, or are you just saying shit that you want to believe?

Hearsay from his own mouth. That alone should have been enough for you
to not support him. If you don't see Trump BEING a horrible piece of shit,
on a daily basis, then you probably think behavior like that is normal.
That makes me question your morality and how you treat other people.
If you don't, then why do you think people like Trump should be president?

Are you kidding, Trump has been a criminal all his life.
I knew him to be a piece of shit, long before he ran for president.
I didn't know the extend of it, because he was keeping under the radar, but as soon as he went public, I started investigating him and found an almost unending pile of shit, that each on their own should discredit him to ever vote for him. His character alone should be a reason, but you support him despite everything combined.
Either you have been living under a rock, or you just like horrible people.

Didn't you have investments in only one company?
That means you were just lucky to still have some.
It takes zero skill to do that, only some will.

A "cd (Certificate of Deposit) or money market account" is not really "investing".
It's basically trusting a bank to give you some of their profits, while THEY invest
with your money, making the real money for the wealthy who own the bank.
It's just another system designed to transfer more wealth to the wealthy.

The only chance you have to win in capitalism, is directly investing in stocks
or real assets. If you invest in stocks without skill, it's just g@mbling.

The reason for that money saving you from homelessness and starvation is your own aversion against "socialism". You could have been on disability benefits.
But you probably believed that only fraudsters got it, so you supported the grifters
for the wealthy to take it from you. And now you are doing that for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, remaining Disability benefits and Education support.
“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.”
I don't know how much shame you should feel for being fooled a dozen times.

Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Alabama, and Tennessee consistently rank among U.S. states with the highest murder rates per capita. It's mostly the shithole red states.
I guess it matters a lot to you that the person killing you has an American passport.

If you don't like to be killed by Americans either, you're the safest in New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. You know, those horrible blue states.

How will you ever see, something that is clearly a lie.
If you cannot even understand simple numbers not adding up,
you will NEVER see anything.

There is always someone cheating any system.
They are using that to destroy all systems that are important to people.
What alternatives are you getting for it?

In the case of social security, your alternative would be either working till you die,
your own investments or some private insurances. Do you think no one is cheating
on your investments or some private insurances?

Sure, some native Americans sometimes ate people.
Still, their morality beats what MAGA shows these days.
If there would be any culture adopting cannibalism, it would be yours.

Obama forced insurances to cover 'existing conditions'. That's probably why they increased the premium. But it also protects you from getting fucked over.

You are correct that Obama Care sucks. That's because it is an original Republican plan. It still allows insurances to make a lot of money by exploiting the people. The only way to solve that is to create single payer healthcare.

Republicans have no plans, besides making healthcare worse.

I agree, this is pure entertainment. It is hilarious that someone can think this.

"refuses to use his public office to enrich himself?"
Are you talking about Trump?

Enriching himself was his second goal, besides staying out of prison.
Trump is putting African dictators to shame, with his record corruption.
With every tariff announcement, his friends and family made a fortune
on the stock market, with insider trading, which is a crime. If he didn't
control the DOJ and the FBI, this would be investigated right now.

He has been given a 28 point agreement that was dictated by Russia. It is an agreement to give away a big part of Ukraine and to not create a defense force to prevent Russia
from taking even more of Ukraine, the next time they feel like attacking Ukraine.
How can you expect Zelensky to agree with that?

Let's say he does sign it, how long do you think the "peace" will last?

At least I will have healthcare, you won't. It's DIE for you.

Trump is bringing in completely unqualified numbskulls to replaces those
"DEI hires". He is actually doing what he is accusing DEI of doing.

✅ What Is Factually Documented

The object known as the “London Hammer” or “London Artifact” is a hammer made of iron and wood, allegedly found in London, Texas in the 1930s by a couple walking near Red Creek. Its wooden handle was protruding from a rock-like concretion.

The hammerhead is about 6 inches long (15 cm) and made of an iron alloy with a reported composition of around 96–97% iron, with traces of chlorine and sulfur. The wood handle shows some partial mineralization or carbonization, which can happen gradually over time.

The hammer is currently exhibited at Carl Baugh’s Creation Evidence Museum, which promotes it as evidence of ancient human civilization.

⚠️ What Is Not Scientifically Supported

Claims that the hammer is “millions or hundreds of millions of years old” are not based on any reliable scientific dating of the hammer itself. There is no verified scientific analysis proving it was encased in genuinely ancient strata.

The often-quoted narrative that it was encased in 400-million-year-old Ordovician rock is inaccurate, since:

The hammer was likely found in a loose rock or nodule, not in situ within dated bedrock. This means its association with “ancient” layers cannot be confirmed.

Concretion (minerals hardening around an object) is a well-known process that can form quickly — within decades or centuries, not millions of years. Many modern objects are found encased in limestone-like mineral crusts because minerals in water deposit and harden around them.

There is no properly documented geological context (exact location, layer, or stratigraphic record) confirming the hammer lay embedded in ancient rock before retrieval. The original finders never documented its stratigraphic position.

✅ What Scientists and Skeptics Conclude

Most experts consider the hammer to be a 20th-century or late 19th-century tool — stylistically consistent with mining or machinist hammers from that era.

The concretion around the hammer is likely not as old as nearby rock formations. Instead, it probably formed after someone lost or discarded the hammer, and minerals in the local environment hardened around it. This explanation is supported by geologists familiar with limestone concretions.

The only reliable way to estimate the hammer’s age would be through carbon dating of the wood handle, which, if done, points to a much younger age (~hundreds of years), not millions. However, comprehensive independent dating has not been widely published.

The Cheapest Curry You’ll Ever Make — Costs Pennies… and Tastes Unreal!

Curries are a great way to eat vegan, healthy, cheaply, and tasty.

If the boats that got blown up were actually carrying drugs, your border security would wait until they reach American waters, arrest them, threaten them with life imprisonment and then use their "knowledge to catch bigger fish".
That you blow them up, destroying all the evidence and witnesses, is reason enough for me to not believe that these boats are transporting drugs, even if
it wasn't done by the most dishonest, self-incriminating regime you ever had,
that is clearly saying that this is just a ruse to topple Maduro and "take the oil".

Someone who has been rotting in prison for years doesn't know shit.
Trump just thinks that corrupt drugs criminals in foreign governments are OK,
if they are right-wingers, who will serve the US, instead of left-wingers who serve their own people. Here is an idea; send Hernández back to Honduras by boat,
so the Honduran authorities can blow it up.

They are not too dumb, they are too corrupt.

If that is what it is, then I like it. I'm not against good things, just because a political adversary is doing it. Hell, if Trump only did things I liked, he wouldn't be my political adversary anymore.

You cannot teach kids "investing". You can teach kids about the economy, the financial system, logical thinking, emotional intelligence & self-control, ethics & social responsibility, and practical life skills, like goal-setting and research skills (how to gather information, evaluate sources, and make informed choices).

Investing isn't some trick you can just teach. There are some investment options for people who don't have the skills I just listed, but that is just trusting some big investment firm to invest for you. It can make you some money, but mostly you are lending you their money to make money for the big investment firm. If it goes well, you get some money too, but if it doesn't you take the loss, because the big investment firms do a very job
of taking most of the profits for them and shifting the risk onto the clients.

If you start out with a system of health insurance that is too expensive for people, then trying to fix it with subsidies is creating complexities and the possibility for waste, fraud and abuse. You can eliminate the subsidies, but then health insurance will be too expensive
for lots of, or even most, people. The logical solution is to create the simplest form of healthcare funding, which is a single payer system, that pays for everything that people need, and letting doctors decide what people need.

This is a ONE TIME stimulus. Even $250 per month would be a drop in the bucket,
for people who are going to lose their Obama care subsidies.

About 1.25 million federal workers went unpaid during the shutdown: they missed paychecks after it began Oct 1, either because they were furloughed or working without pay.

Among them: roughly 670,000 furloughed employees, and ~730,000 who continued working without pay.

Social safety-net users were also hit hard: about 42 million Americans rely on the food-aid program Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), many of whom experienced benefit delays or disruptions during the shutdown.

Beyond direct government workers or SNAP recipients, many Americans felt economic ripple effects: cancelled flights, disrupted travel, deferred purchases, lost income or income uncertainty, which weighed on consumer confidence and spending.

Great idea, let AI spy on everyone, so you can call the slightest discrepancy fraud,
and destroy those people's lives. This is clearly what people have been asking for.
Americans LOVE government control, and permanent surveillance.

Maybe first start with letting AI check if the wealthy are doing their taxes correctly.
That might result in catching some bigger fish, don't you think?
Trump's fraud alone would easily pay for the SNAP 'fraud' they found.

"The deal’s inclusion of mineral exploitation and economic interests, with U.S. companies potentially entering the DRC’s critical-minerals sector, raises questions: some fear that economic incentives may overshadow justice, accountability, or genuine peacebuilding."

The Nobel Committee, a five-member body appointed by the Norwegian Parliament,
is not going to give Trump a prize for trying to steal another country's resources again,
by helping some dictator in power, even if that results in peace (temporarily).

True, many of them did leave the Democrats.
And now most of them see what a big mistake that was.
If you're fired from your job, because Trump called you a DEI hire,
that tends to sting a little bit.

True, but "forgotten about" is not as bad as "getting screwed hard".

"Trump, 79, Falls for Foreign Trolls Posing as MAGA Influencers in Embarrassing Self-Own"

There are lots of these accounts that pose as American MAGA,
which now are turning out to be located in countries that do not
hold democracy in high regard, to put it mildly. Isn't that strange?

What's woke about it?

McGovern was Chief Creative Officer / Design Director, responsible for:
- Vehicle aesthetics (exterior & interior design)
- Brand identity (logos, marketing visuals, and overall “look & feel”)
- Concepts and styling of new models

McGovern did NOT decide the powertrain or corporate product strategy,
e.g., whether Jaguar becomes fully electric. That is the role of:
- CEO & Board (corporate strategy)
- Chief Product & Technology Officers (engineering, EV adoption)
- Marketing & Finance teams (market positioning, budget, risk)

He was responsible for the shift of Jaguar’s image away from its older, traditional base (classic luxury/“old British car” buyers) and instead reach a younger, more global, possibly more fashion- or lifestyle-oriented clientele: “a newer, international elite,” as some branding experts put it. There is nothing 'woke' or 'progressive' about that. The change felt too abrupt, too radical, and too detached from what made Jaguar; engineering pedigree, British heritage, the “soul” of classic carmaking.

Did this upset old conservative elites? Sure, but that doesn't make it 'woke'.

The heads of the company decided to make Jaguar 100% electric.
This designer probably thought that the customer base of Jaguar, didn't fit that strategy, so he tried to appeal to a younger customer base. I don't think he was wrong, but I am willing to agree with Jaguar that this is a big risk. The people who have the money to buy Jaguars tend to be 'older', affluent, conservative-taste luxury buyers. You can convince them to drive electric, but if you combine that with Avant-garde fashion, the old clientele will leave.

There is NOTHING 'woke' about trying to cater to the nouveau riche.

You cannot teach life experience to kids who grew up wealthy.

What you usually see, is that the kids of the wealthy just step back from leading the company completely, and just leave it to a CEO and a board of directors,
to squeeze as much profit from the company as possible, so the dumb, spoiled, useless brats can live their lives of luxury. There is absolutely no merit involved
in their ownership.

It's a nice one dude, but you cannot survive on belief in your cock, alone.

Racism is dead to you, because you want to say racist things,

You don't think that society should be based on merit.
You think society should be based on classism / inherited privileges.

There is one very important difference, Biden was supported by many competent, experienced lawmakers, diplomats and experts in their field, who he trusted and who could be trusted to do the right thing, if Biden was going to be crazy.
When Biden would order them to break the law, they would surely reject it.

Trump surrounds himself with completely unqualified, incompetent morons.
They better be loyal to Trump, no matter how stupid the things are that he wants them to do, and they never push back. Trump is ordering people to break the law, while threatening the death penalty if they refuse him. All of these people swore an oath to The Constitution and not to the president, but they are now following orders to break the law. It will require Neurenberg trials after this presidency.

"The average mechanic gross salary in Netherlands is €46.189 or an equivalent hourly rate of €22."
That's $53,918.27/year, $25.68/hour. Google can easily convert it for you.
Just ask "€22 in dollar" and it tells you.
There are of course many types of mechanic, at different levels of education.

At $53,918.27/year, the mechanic could get a mortgage between $215,656 and $269,570. There are still some houses in some areas of my country for sale at that price, but the house of my parents is 3 times the value.
