Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I think it might be time to stop blaming the boomers. We own this mess now.

[–] fern@lemmy.autism.place 68 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, boomers do still own most things.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 81 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We rent this mess now

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We lease this mess now, for $0 down payment and 5.6% APR*

*For 3 years, then APR subject to change on the whims of the owner

Real talk, I honestly don't get the point in leasing, or even how it's different from renting. Sounds more like renting with a different name.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Lease has a specific term, generally long. Rent implies short term or indefinite length.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Typically, leasing is long term and renting is short term (contract length I mean)

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

You're correct. They are the same. Loan may also apply.

However, depending on where you are, there are regional differences in where the terms get used. Locally, you rent an apartment but lease a warehouse (why?). Also, if you rent an apartment and turn over your lease agreement to another person, you are sub-letting the apartment. And "let" also means lease in this context. Err rent. Fuck, I've gone cross-eyed

mandkind knew they could not change society, so instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the boomers

Yeah, but it easier to blame others than accept reality.
