We’re looking to buy a place in (because renting here is nigh on impossible these days) so I approached a mortgage broker and they just got back to me with this gem:

“Bank of Ireland will not consider your mortgage application because you run a not-for-profit.”

How bloody lovely.

Congratulations on creating a system that rewards the worst of the worst and fucks over those striving to work for the common good. I, for one, won’t be shedding a tear should it burn to the ground.

@aral I have a friend in Ireland, her husband works for an EU company, but they are American citizens. They’ve applied for a mortgage and they’ve been told that her income cannot be considered toward their qualification because her employer is in the US with no EU offices, but her student loan payments count against them, even though they are also in the US.

@amaditalks As I was saying to someone else, we’re living in the Fuck You as a Service™ stage of capitalism.

@aral that is a magnificent description. I’m going to have to use that one on occasion.
