It’s one thing to build a house and sell it, it’s another to build it for the sole purpose of renting it at peak market rate.
Corporations use to build company towns and rented them at higher rates than they paid the workers.
People fought to stop this but there are always people who insist on relearning these lessons the hard way.
They want to remove nimby laws. I don’t know how to read that as more regulations.
And that kids is how I ended up I owing my soul to the company store.
Correct. In capitalism one must profit off the necessities of life.
Also, when you buy a house, the cost of the mortgage is locked in…assuming you don’t do an adjustable rate mortgage which were never designed for long term homeownership.
Do you like HOA’s because this is how you get more HOA’s – if the laws won’t protect the desired community development, people will work together to create it and the result is something less efficient and less open.
This is why libertarianism is nonsense. People will quickly recreate all the old rules when they relearn the lessons that lead to the creation of those old rules.
Claims he encourages concerned employees to speak up.
Hasn’t talked to any of the whistleblowers who have spoken up.
One solution to this logic problem is that the concerned employees he is encouraging to speak up are not the whistleblower but rather the employees raising concerns about whistleblowers.
There are apparently rules in America that require a minimum size
Although sizes can vary from state to state, 70 to 80 square feet in size is generally the acceptable minimum
Confusing segregationist with racism. It’s a common error among racists.
I am always amused at how normalized it has become that political leaders need to advertise themselves as if they are a bottle of coke or some other brand.
We don’t pick leaders anymore, we pick brands so of course they need vast sums of money because how else does one push brand awareness and convince people they need to choose a brand.
Your subservience.
Yep. Comorbidity. The combination of these two is sometimes referred to as schizoaffective disorder.
My vote is bipolar schizophrenic.
If I end up on try that jury, not guilty.
But companies will have to lay off workers! Oh wait, they’re already doing that despite record profits.
Companies will stop giving raises! Oh wait, they’ve been doing that for decades.
The economy stopped working for the average person. It’s been going on so long now that it’s normalized. People are afraid. We need to wake up to our exploitation.
And I say this as a person who is well paid, at a company that treats its people well. I’ve worked enough other jobs to know how abnormal my situation is and will gladly fight alongside those who aren’t as lucky as me because I refuse to accept the “fuck you, I’ve got mine” mantra.
Per the article deflations caused people to put off making larger purchases such as house because they’ll wait for prices to fall. As opposed to inflation when people put off large purchases such as houses because they cannot afford it with out saving longer.
It’s about protecting capital. The government literally ensures inflation so that accumulated wealth doesn’t decrease because profit is more important than you surviving.
Anyone that believes their survival relies on capitalism has been sold the narrative that benefits only those with wealth. Some are convinced that owning a billionth of a percent of the market makes them part of the game; like a younger brother handed a second controller that isn’t hooked up to the system.

Oh, is that where I left those.
I downvoted because it encouraged people to down vote opinions they don’t like. That is how we all end up bubbles.
If they wanted to truly take an unpopular stance they would be against opinion based voting on comments.
Being against downvotes on posts is simply misunderstanding how communities form.
Yes. That’s the joke. They can’t do it now because their constituents are morons.
These articles are speculative on the cause. I don’t see any data on the supply increases.
Some of these cities, didn’t increase supply. For example San Francisco saw similar decreases it they offer to exploration there.
The rents decreases are year over year but are flat over a two or three period of time, it’s just as likely the rent increases were a bubble that popped and not because of some unspecified change in supply.
