Questions: Society & Politics

President Franklin Roosevelt (FDR) introduced 30-year mortgages almost 100 years ago. Now, in 2025, the Trump administration is considering introducing 50-year mortgages to the housing market, which would make homes more affordable, if you only consider the monthly payment, though the total cost would be higher.

What do you think of a 50-year mortgage? Would you be interested in one? Why or why not?

Zohran Mamdani says he’ll call President Trump before taking office, claiming a relationship is “critical” to NYC’s success. Do you think this phone call with President Trump will work out in Zohran Mamdani’s favor?

Personally, I don’t think President Trump will or should give Mamdani anything he wants. Mamdani is an enemy of the USA who wants President Trump to adhere to his demands by framing it as a heartfelt olive branch that would make President Trump look bad if he denies it. Mamdani wants President Trump to refrain from sending ICE into NYC when it is the city that needs ICE raids the most, and Mamdani wants President Trump to federally fund his socialist agenda in the city. It will not work out in Mamdani’s favor at all. Let people criticize President Trump for denying the snake this olive branch. I have a good feeling the president won’t even take Mamdani’s call 🤣

It’s already tax payer money that pays these cops salaries ( might I add that a RIDICULOUS amount gets taken away from us). But the fact that cops lie in wait just to catch someone who is going 10 miles over the limit or to catch someone doing a rolling stop while there’s no other cars in sight is absolutely disgusting. These are not safety measures. They are milking people for money measures. It isn’t just the court that you have to pay, traffic citations will also inevitably come with higher car insurance rates. The whole thing is just one massive scam. I think this is an area of our society that needs some massive overhaul.
