Old Man Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 2 hours ago, Cancer said: No I need these. After the false unemployment claim last spring I locked down our credit. We're starting to look at a house to retire to, and that sort of thing needs a lender, so I have to undo some locks. Which I could not do easily without those two pages of notes made at the time. Now’s a good time, rates are apocalyptically low. My ‘12 refi got me down to 3.25% and I’m looking into doing it again at 2.625%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Are you guys thinking of taking advantage of those poor, poor banks?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 I’m still not sure the banks are the ones being taken advantage of. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 After what the banks did to everyone in general with the housing bubble of 97 to '08, I don't think even an Auschwitz-class elimination program would be enough for me to think of banks and bankers as "poor" and undeserving of further penalties and regulations.

Pariah Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 That bit from Rowan Atkinson's old "Welcome to Hell" bit seems appropriate here: "Looters and pillagers over there.

Cancer Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 If you go back and read The Devil and Daniel Webster ... something I had to read back in middle school, I think ... usurers were second only to slavers in terms of being the Devil's people. Which I think is arguably true, and makes a clear indication about what you're worshipping when you're into standard success theology.

Pariah Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 “Interest never sleeps nor sickens nor dies; it never goes to the hospital; it works on Sundays and holidays; it never takes a vacation. … Once in debt, interest is your companion every minute of the day and night; you cannot shun it or slip away from it; you cannot dismiss it; it yields neither to entreaties, demands, or orders; and whenever you get in its way or cross its course or fail to meet its demands, it crushes you.” ~ J.
