Bloody Fool

Architecture, Real Estate

Good grief.  Try this idiot on for size:

A woman who bought THREE of Italy’s €1 houses has warned of the real price of renovating the bargain-priced properties.
Solar consultant and business owner, Rubia Daniels, took up the fantastic offer in Mussomeli, Sicily – but quickly realised that it would total a MASSIVE €60,000.

No doubt she thought that the houses were going to be in pristine Islington-style condition, and that she could just move in and start enjoying the bargain.  (She bought the other two for her children, by the way.)

 

Of course, what she got for her $3.90 were three houses that were in a state of disrepair approaching write-off — hence the low price — in a dying village without, say, a Home Depot (US) or Homebase (UK) outlet anywhere nearby.

And frankly, even if the whole tripartite reno does cost €60,000 she’ll still have three houses that cost €20,001 each, in this place:

…which quite frankly looks like any shithole town in Sicily where even €1 is too much to pay.

Explanation

Marxists

Via Insty, I read this:

Stephen Collinson is well-known among conservatives as the most hackneyed of the hacks at CNN. The CNN Politics Twitter account promoted his latest online essay with the words “President Biden to showcase his moderate radicalism in his big congressional address.”
“Moderate radicalism”? Doesn’t that make about as much sense as “quiet loudness”?

Well, no.  Basically, “moderate radicalism” is when radical ideas and positions (i.e. extreme leftwing, in this case) are talked about and explored, but there are no actions associated with the activity.  Here’s an example:

“Racial equity is going to be our social goal and policy”  —  moderate radicalism.  Then there’s this:

“Racial equity is going to be our social goal and policy, and anyone not supporting it will be sent to reeducation camps”  — that’s pure (immoderate) radicalism.

Just don’t kid yourself that the latter is an impossibility in these here United States.

Never forget that socialists, of whatever variant, are utterly convinced of the rightness and purity of their ideas, and that opponents thereof are evil and should be suppressed, by force if necessary.

Now onto the the (ahem) “hard” news…


…but that means they’ll just hate us up to 11 now !


…no doubt celebrating the news of America’s withdrawal, in their traditional manner.


…and in all those years, she never once thought of, say, leaving his freako ass and going home to Momma.


…not to be unkind, but the only way this chick could “sizzle” is if you dropped her onto the griddle at Waffle House.


…it’s not crazy:  you are, you fat trailerpark sow.


…we’re not “allowing” it, as none of the poxy car manufacturers has ever actually asked our permission.


…I didn’t think I could like these three guys any more than I already do, but this is epic.


…and when Mr. Sex Pistol himself calls you a moron…


…don’t too excited, folks.  This has as much chance of getting past President Braindead’s veto pen as Ted Nugent has of getting a handjob from Oprah Winfrey.  In Madison Square Garden.  On stage.


…see the item above.


…serves ’em right for being rude.


…oh.  My bad.

Silly fools even draw the swastika ass-about-face.
