In practice, what this means is a combination of personal bankruptcies and people continuing to live in the highest-risk locations where they will get wiped out in the future.
I bet if everyone stopped paying those mortgages the govt would swoop in to help those poor lenders pdq
they could seize the house!
Isn’t that why Americans wanted guns? Talk about pussyfooting.
Bitches should just stop paying and wait for the bank to come knocking to see whats going on and then have a reeeeallllllyyyy friendly chat with the mortgage broker. They’re just bankers - its not like they’re real humans or anything.
friendly chat with the mortgage broker.
it will be the police that will evict you not your banker, also the cops have way more guns and people than you do.
They don’t have to. Organize with your freinds, family and neighbors, make them all sweat bullets when they come knocking and 45 people come out armed to speak with them.
Make the Fascist Enforcers think really fucking hard about where they’ll be if they try shit.
Affected states:
It’s almost like divine punishment or something
Why would all the [insert current “out class”] do this to those states?
But they’re good Christian people with good Christian morals… haha I’m sorry, I couldn’t say that with a straight face… what was it they love to say? Oh yes…
Fuck your feelings!
I thought “the gays” were causing the hurricanes or whatever? Or was it the Jewish space lasers controlling the weather?
It was Teh Gheyz colluding with the Jewssssz - the gays are having all that gay sex in the blue states, but the Jews built space lasers to direct their god’s righteous anger about all the gay sex AT THE RED STATES!
Unfortunately NC is mostly blue/purple but gerrymandered to hell and has establishment repubs who won’t relinquish control of anything to let anything new happen. The GOP legislature over the last several years passed bills and regulations stripping the governor of power because they knew they were going to lose that seat. Many more congressional seats will be flipping blue next year.
The people allow it they are weak.
I’ll be sure to let everyone know at the next game night.
Please do. When was the last time you actually held your General Assembly accountable? Start actively protesting them. Lol
Mind you if you don’t then the contents of this article will spread to the next time there is a hurricane.
It ain’t rocket science. They dgaf. They even openly act like it. The medical MMJ was voted for in NC. The General Assembly just refused to put it in law. Right there you told them there are absolutely no consequences to your actions. And they are taking that to the bank.
See the stripping of the governor of his powers. The whiny bitch of a judge that tried to throw out voters ballots.
They keep slapping you in the face and you say thank you please may I have another. The scary part is this is the “research triangle” you are supposed to be intelligent.
People have been protesting across NC all year and last year, thanks for showing your ignorance.
Thanks for showing your reading comprehension is lacking. I know they have been protesting all year. They have been protesting the wrong shit.
Make life hell for your elected officials not for the like armed poor folks also trying to make ends meat. Like it or not the economy fucking sucks and people need work.
This is the elected officials fault 💯 not the ICE agents. Now do you need to watch both? Absolutely! ICE needs to be held accountable.
But if you want to effect actual change then protest the actual power. They have given you all the reasons to do so. See the documentary Crip Camp. Something like this in your General Assembly.
I apologize if I am coming on hot. You guys are doing great work I was just very disappointed by what I saw in the last 2 years. While I was there.
Seems like they’re getting what they voted for.
Too bad, so sad /s
This but without the sarcasm.
I don’t care about people red states, I’m their declared enemy so they are mine.
Never interfere with an enemy while they are making a mistake. It doesn’t matter than this is a mistake they’ve been making for decades. The art of war didn’t specify a time limit.
Because every single person, in every one of those states, is completely deserving of having their homes destroyed, livelihoods upheaved and bankruptcy at the hands of a government that doesn’t care about them… Because of the way their state voted.
Thanks for displaying your complete lack of empathy, apparently justified in your own mind by the fact that the majority of residents voted for an asshole.
Merry Christmas ya miserable bastard /hj
Most of them voted for a government that doesn’t care so…
And all the ones that voted for a government that doesn’t care only did so to affect people they don’t like. When it comes around to them, woe is them. They gleefully tell everyone “fuck your feelings” when it isn’t them hurting.
The great divide is here brought to you by Republicans once again. They’re dissolving the union.
And the ones that didn’t vote for this, the ones who voted for something they were lied to about, the ones that didn’t vote, all deserve the same fate?
Every single person in those states deserves to suffer because some bigot lied to them and sold them on a deal that they were never going to fulfil?
It’s alright to mock them for being homeless, or having to pay two mortgages for one working home and the wreckage of their life after a natural disaster because “Most of them voted for a government that doesn’t care”?
They want to complain, not find answers. The person you are talking and people who act like them behave like teenagers who don’t care to understand how the real world (capitalism) works.
I know someone that was 8+ months pregnant live in Asheville when Helene came through. They went over to their neighbor’s brick house as the hurricane caused extreme damage to theirs. The next day it took them a couple hours trying to drive out of the city to get somewhere safe. After they got out, one of them went back to get some possessions the same day and the road they escaped on was gone. Completely washed out and didn’t exist just hours after they drove on it.
In the end, they all survived, but the pregnant lady couldn’t live there anymore, physically due to damage and mentally from the trauma of having been so close to dying during the hurricane. They got the repairs done and moved to Duluth MN and carried a double mortgage until they could sell. They were fortunate to be in a financial position where this was an option, but that’s certainly not the norm. They are bleeding heart liberals that were living in the conservative South who were affected by the shit policies their neighbors voted for and representatives inacted. It’s unfortunate that the innocent bystanders are affected by things like this, but I have little to no sympathy for any conservative that put themselves and others around them in this situation.
Y’know it’s shit like this that will ultimately destroy the power of the feds. As they become less and less relevant to folks daily lives and unreliable on top of that eventually people just aren’t gonna listen.
So these are the real FEMA camps: still pay on a non-viable home, and go camping (live out of a tent).
