Granted, I’m sure people who hate the health industry are saying, “Where’s the change? We’ve been trying and it’s still awful.” And that may be true. But when you use political violence, what you’re doing is you’re trying to fix something in the house while smashing through one of the house’s support beams. And if you keep doing that, now someone else will assassinate someone on your side, and before you know it, it’s the road to hell."</blockquote> This Tim Urban guy comes off as remarkably obtuse about a lot of things in this interview, not least of which is the regular everyday political violence perpetrated by the health insurance business. The fact that it happens at industrial scale and fattens the wallets of the CEOs doesn't make it less deadly to millions of victims of such political violence. This mentality tends to render political violence against working class people invisible (and therefore approves of it) but condemns them if they ever fight back. <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#healthcare</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/structuralviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#structuralviolence</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/politicalviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#politicalviolence</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/timUrban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#timUrban</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/bourgeoisie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bourgeoisie</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/classwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#classwar</a>

That’s a historic high, up from an average age in the low-to-mid 40s in the early 2010s.The median age of first-time buyers also rose from 35 to 38, while the share of first-timers dropped from 32% to 24% of all buyers for the year ending July 2024. That marks the lowest percentage since NAR started tracking the metric in 1981.That’s largely due to rising homeownership costs, he says. The median U.S. home price is now $435,000, per NAR — <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MSPUS" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">up 39% since 2020</a> — while the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MORTGAGE30US" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">more than doubled to over 6%</a> in that time.An 18% down payment — the median percentage buyers put down, according to NAR — on a $435,000 home comes to $78,300. That’s a significant expense, nearly matching the annual U.S. median household income of $80,610, <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA672N" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">per U.S. Census Bureau data</a>.Younger buyers are also competing with wealthier all-cash buyers, whose share of home purchases has increased from 20% to 26% in the past year, the study says.</blockquote><a href="https://convo.casa/tags/classwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#classwar</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#inequality</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#oligarchy</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/gerontocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gerontocracy</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/classwarfare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#classwarfare</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/anticapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#anticapitalism</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#poverty</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/proletarianization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#proletarianization</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/structuralviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#structuralviolence</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/austerity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#austerity</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/wagestagnation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wagestagnation</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/studentdebt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#studentdebt</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#healthcare</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/healthinsurance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#healthinsurance</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/housing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#housing</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/rent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rent</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/homeownership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeownership</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/firsttimehomebuyer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#firsttimehomebuyer</a>

Mix Mistress Alice💄"Content moderation, censorship, and shadowbanning facilitate sex worker erasure and normalize the digital and physical opression of sex working and AOP communities. Sex workers are disproportionately losing access to social media platforms, having bank accounts seized, being banned from major payment processers, and being used as test subjects for facial recognition databases. These are forms of structural violence that predominantly impact populations already vulnerable to state and platform policing’s access to resources, community, and harm reduction materials.
