For a long time, when I'd read a comic with Lex Luthor in it, and he'd be... I dunno, conspiring with a guy who's super power is that he is mediocre at riddles, and maybe Solomon Grundy or someone like that, in order to launch their army of poison turtles into Metropolis, I'd scoff and say, "it's unrealistic that the world's richest man would waste his time and money on something that's only going to showcase to the world how incompetent he is."

I owe DC comics an apology.

A few years ago, some lending firms began offering an “interest free” way to buy a home. Word spread in #Minnesota’s #Somali community.

But "contract for deed" or seller financing lacks protections for buyers. Until final payment is made, the seller holds the deed & can cancel the contract if the buyer falls behind. If that happens, the buyer forfeits all $$ they’ve put in. The seller could then evict the buyer after as little as 60 days.

Especially during the holiday season, remember to be courteous and patient with those who are working. It’s the busiest time of the year for many of them.

It doesn’t take a lot to be respectful. ❤️
