Maybe voluntary is the wrong word, but do they not get paid for the exports?

Interestingly something like 41% of women identify as pro-life. I know you and the person you were responding to probably wouldn't, but my point is just that there are a lot of women who would see their conservative male partner vote for anti-abortion candidates and not be bothered at all. Not because they're rationalizing it, but because they don't see it as a negative in the first place.

If you have enough savings, sometimes they don't even look at your credit score and history.

I do like nuclear, but of course the costs matter regardless of profit seeking. If you have two options that are same benefit but one costs more, to go with that one is just wasteful.

The last several GOP speakers have been ripped to shreds by their own party. It very well could happen again.

I've run in largely Christian circles for most of my life, and that's how the conservative Christians I know have been talking about communism as long as I can remember, that its most important feature is that it's atheistic. I don't think it's actually indicative of any change or advancement of their position. Also, I'm pretty sure the GOP is technically less Christian now than it's ever been.

PolitiFact article about it

Pretty much a fact, with slightly fuzzy details.

That would not surprise me, but prices could still crash if that happened. Bail outs happen after that.

I was kind of joking, but I did see this recently which made me wonder if the institutional buyers/investors thing is a bit overhyped and coming to an end not that far into the future:

I don't remember exactly, but it was probably not far off 20k saved with more like 50k income. House price was quite a bit lower than that, no equity from any previous homes owned.

I'm going to assume this is a made up story for the sake of my mental health.
