I'm either not drinking, or I'm drinking this. There is (almost) no in-between.

Cost of Buying Housing vs. Renting Housing, over time "This gap represents the largest difference between renting and buying in U.S. history."

A graph comparing the cost of renting vs buying (housing) over time.

Cost to rent is a red line.

Cost to buy is a blue line.

Both were close to $200 in 1970

Buying housing became more affordable than renting following the Housing Bubble of the early 2000s.

In the last year or two, the cost of buying housing has skyrocketed relative to the (also rising) cost to rent.

"Anarchist Voices from Armenia and Azerbaijan On the Violence in Nagorno-Karabakh" crimethinc.com/2023/09/23/a...

An excerpt from the linked article.

[As we anticipated, war is continuing to spread around the region, from Yemen and Syria to Ukraine and Armenia:

"The invasion of Ukraine is likely an indication of things to come. Over the past several decades, governments worldwide have invested billions of dollars in crowd control technology and military equipment while taking precious few steps to address mounting inequalities or the destruction of the natural world. As economic and ecological crises intensify, more governments will seek to solve their domestic problems by initiating hostilities with their neighbors."]

It's officially autumn.

A painting of a pumpkin on a wooden table with a cottagecore style mini cottage sitting on the table in front of it.

There is a green pumpkin and a variety of orange pumpkins decorating outside the cottage.

There is a jack-o-lantern to the left, and one to the right, of the cottage.

The overall color scheme is warm and orangish in hue with a soft lighting.
