the other guy that actually wants to minimize the civilian loss of life

If this were the case he would be doing the things that actually, obviously would minimize civilian loss of life like putting boots on the ground in Gaza to protect aid shipments, to say nothing of stopping the JDAM pipeline.

I don’t see how you can look at Biden’s actions and statements and feel that minimizing the loss of civilian life is an actual desire, unless you just mean “wants that, but wants it less than all the things that cause the entirely avoidable civilian loss of life”.

Yep, I'm in Canada.

E: I'm told fixed-rate went away here some time in the last 10-15 years (i.e. after the crash of 2008), but I don't remember the details.

Nope, fixed-rate mortgages are still very common in Canada.

Eh...

We just got a one-year mortgage on a property and the math was definitely in favour of an ARM given the range of plausible interest rates over that time period, and the amount that it was discounted from the fixed rate.

There would definitely be some risk if rates went up more than 2% over the next year, but as you say the risks of that in this economy are pretty clear.
