I think that's the point? That even this couple who looks successful at a first glance still can't meet the bar where a mortgage is financially responsible for them. America is struggling.

In the 70s this couple could have easily owned two houses.

Sure, they're not poor compared to someone in an undeveloped region of Africa, but they are absolutely poor compared to their parents and compared to what is right/just/fair.

And 30% is a sound limit for what you ought to be spending on your mortgage. This isn't them whining about price, it's them recognizing that it's not financially responsible to wage-slave themselves for the sake of buying a home.

There is absolutely a consistent worldview that believes Trump is awful but that killing him is wrong. All you need is a Kantian or similar set of morals that doesn't allow for murder as a preventative measure.

Like a pizza fresh out the oven - gooey and even sticky on one side, crusty on the other
