You see this in Spanish a lot too. Diaz is son of Diego, which is still a common enough name. But there seem to be many more examples where the corresponding name is now rather uncommon from what I can tell. I am thinking of examples such as Menendez, Ortiz, Juarez, and Ordonez.

OP stated he was hoping for more supply, or at least leas demand relative to supply. I stated why that may not work out. I said nothing about supply declining more than demand.

Yes, high mortgage rates should temper demand somewhat, all else equal. But the effect may not be as large as you might expect given the increasing prevalence of all-cash buyers.

Unfortunately, high mortgage rates also work to reduce supply. A lot of homeowners who locked in 3-ish% mortgage rates in the last couple years don't want to move unless absolutely necessary, because that would mean refinancing at a higher rate.

Looking for a home is stressful, but keep saving and be patient. I wish you good luck.

The Spanish language uses the same word to signify "wife" and "handcuffs" (la esposa/las esposas).

Many of the examples make this article hard to take seriously. For example:

> Your landlord is telling you what colors can be used for paint inside your apartment (if you live in a rent-controlled apartment): You should be able to do what you want with your property.

If you have a landlord, it is by definition NOT your property. Also, what difference does it make if its rent-controlled or not?

> Being required to get an ID card when getting on an airplane: People shouldn’t treat innocent individuals like criminals simply because they want peace of mind.

"Being required to get an ID" does not equal "being treated like a criminal."

I also would have expected to see some mention of civil asset forfeiture.

"Desde la puerta de La Crónica Santiago mira la avenida Tacna, sin amor: automóviles, edificios desiguales y descoloridos, esqueletos de avisos luminosos flotando en la neblina, el mediodía gris. ¿En qué momento se habia jodido el Perú?"

"From the doorway of La Crónica Santiago looks at the Avenida Tacna without love: cars, uneven and faded buildings, the gaudy skeletons of posters floating in the mist, the gray midday. At what precise moment had Peru fucked itself up?"

> Ray Dalio's radical transparency idea is one example

May be worth to note that, as far as I know, radical transparency at Bridgewater does not extend to salaries. (Source: Was offered a job there about a decade ago). Maybe I am wrong or it has changed since I last checked, but even the link you posted is just a small sample taken from the H1B database, not something published by Bridgewater.

I'm not arguing for or against the idea, I just think its interesting that one of the companies most associated with the idea of radical transparency in the workplace doesn't extend that philosophy to compensation.

I can't reply directly to the poster who asked:

> why wouldn't that apply to credit card debt?

So I'll just leave an answer here. Credit cards, when they are issued to college-aged kids with little to no income or assets, are typically issued with very small credit lines (i.e. we're talking much smaller amounts than students loans) and/or require a co-signer, like a parent with an established credit history.
