Removing Trivia (already mentioned in explanation)

Hawthorn: Slight expansion of explanation. Also, the comic doesn't mention the United States housing bubble specifically, so I'm not sure why the explanation does, unless this is something easily inferred from the context. I left it in anyway.

 ==Explanation==
-One common annoyance of American renters is their inability to make simple changes to their dwelling &mdash; for example, drilling a hole in a wall to hang a picture &mdash; without having to ask for permission from the property owner.  In many cases, if the renter drills the hole without asking permission, they are charged for repairs.  This is one reason that home ownership can be empowering, as it allows the owner to do anything they wish with their property. This can lead to mishaps however, as shown in the comic when [[Cueball]] drills holes in the house to prove his ownership, to the point of structural instability.  Cueball's last statement expresses the fact that he was actually better off having someone who could dictate what could and could not be done with his residence.
+People who live in rented properties often face the annoying problem of being unable to make simple changes to their dwelling &mdash; for example, drilling a hole in a wall to hang a picture &mdash; unless they first gain  permission from the property owner. In many cases, if the renter drills the hole without asking permission, they will be charged for repairs.
-The title text references fictional research showing that 60% of the {{w|toxic assets}} involved in the {{w|United States housing bubble}} were created by power drills. The implication being that Cueball is not alone in his hole drilling tendencies which created not only structural collapse of the homes, but also the financial collapse of the market as those houses would now be worth far less than the mortgages placed against them. Note the double usage of the word collapse.
+This is one reason that home ownership can be empowering, as it allows the owner to do anything they wish with their property (at least, within the limits of the law). In this comic, we see [[Cueball]] (possibly the same Cueball seen in [[616: Lease]]), struggling to come to terms with the realization that he now owns a home and can do anything he likes to it, such as drilling holes in the wall.
