Republicans don't care about consequences. All they care about is hurting people. They know that in 21 Months, Screaming "Look at the Fucking Mess the Democrats have Made!!!" will resonate with All of their voters, and far too many people that claim to be Independents.

> Republicans don’t care about consequences. All they care about is hurting people. Except in this case, they’d be hurting themselves—and, more importantly, the rich assholes who keep them in power. Think about it: if the US dollar becomes worthless, who hurts more, the people already barely getting by, or the people with millions of dollars at stake? The Republicans are bluffing, and always have been. Call their fucking bluff and see if they have the eggs to piss off their lords and masters.

> The debt ceiling fight of 2011 was different. The Obama administration did negotiate with House Republicans, resulting in the Budget Control Act of 2011. When the debt ceiling had to be raised again in 2013, Obama returned to negotiations. During this standoff, the government was partially closed down. Here again, Republicans took the brunt of the blame. During that time Biden advocated not negotiating with the GOP and was pissed that Obama didn't let them take the blame like Clinton did. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds now that Biden is the President rather than an advisor.

> Is the debt ceiling stupid? Yes. Should we borrow and take on more debt? Probably not. When Republicans refuse to raise revenue, i.e. taxes, then you already put yourself in a hard place. Raise the taxes on the wealthy, which is easier said than done. They can't avoid taxes if they are a US citizen. They complain about paying high taxes and pouring more money into elections. They already do that. They aren't going to leave the country and renounce their citizenship.

> It's one of a variety of extreme ways people have come up with to avoid default if Republicans refuse to pay the bills. There's a law giving the ability to mint coins without additional congressional approval (unlike paper money, it's intended for commemorative coins, but no such restriction is in the bill). So mint a trillion dollar coin and deposit it with the fed. No congress needed and we avoid default. There are other related approaches. Because the debt ceiling only applies to the face value of any debt, not unpaid interest accrued on it and that Treasury has full autonomy in how they structure debt, there are also loopholes there. For example, sell a one year $100 bond with > 100% interest for $200. For purposes of the debt ceiling, we added $100 to the debt, but the Treasury received $200. Can obviously structure those for longer durations or higher multiples as needed, just a bit of math to get equivalent interest rates. There's also an argument that the debt ceiling is simply unconstitutional, so Treasury/Biden should ignore it. All of these plans are on somewhat shaky ground in that they've never been tested in court. But trying one or several also seems better than default if it comes to that.

For example, sell a one year $100 bond with > 100% interest for $200. For purposes of the debt ceiling, we added $100 to the debt, but the Treasury received $200. Can obviously structure those for longer durations or higher multiples as needed, just a bit of math to get equivalent interest rates.\nThere's also an argument that the debt ceiling is simply unconstitutional, so Treasury/Biden should ignore it.\nAll of these plans are on somewhat shaky ground in that they've never been tested in court.

tl;dr the actual owners of the house decided to move back to Japan and let the tenant live there rent free in exchange for him being responsible for the upkeep. The owners now want to sell the house, tenant is trying to buy it for nothing by claiming he spent over a million dollars repairing it. The invoices appear to be fake. Court rules tenant has no right to the house and has to leave. ​ Doesnt sound very 'onion-y' to me, its just a wierd landlord tenant dispute.
