Just say no

Kamala is doing to Tim Walz what Biden did to her. Clearly, if Walz was in any position of power right now and not just an affirmative action pick for his race and gender, all those rioters breaking through the fence at the DNC wouldn't be getting mass arrested ^^

Some of these videos could be staged/paid for but honestly I’ve seen too many (even coming from people like Don Lemon who was doing street polling of black voters very recently). There’s a palatable shift. Black people who are over represented in the lower class are some of the heaviest hit by inflation.

Inflation is taxation. Regressive taxation. Quantitative easing is stealing from the poor to give to the rich, pure and simple. Banks and faceless corporations benefit directly, but the entire upper class benefits when artificial growth is stimulated through funny money, as their investments outpace inflation. Mine included. The folks who don't have millions in stocks or interest earning accounts but have to eat what they earn? Well prior to the french revolution daily bread prices accounted for half the daily salary of the average worker

Agree entirely, just would add inflation in US has gotten so bad that most consider housing market unattainable now vs unaffordable. I wonder how long an entire generation of our population will last as the goal posts are forever accelerating away from achievable. Specifically, between builders quoting 600 a sq ft for a home and raw acres going up in price 800percent, even owner DIY is unattainable here. Then there is bloated insurances and property tax. My property tax doubled, yet no new county services or the 5 day school we desperately need.

Hope government addresses this, suspect kill dozer feelings on the rise.

Unless its a bubble. I mean, how can it be sustainable? I helped with the sale of a nearby nonwinterized cabin for over $400k. Baseboard heaters, no furnace or stove in a state where it gets -20, doesn't even have window AC since no double hung windows. One story and 1300 sq ft goes for over 400k? Yeah yeah lakeshore. You can't even habitate for 2/3 of a year.

its not mansions going over a million now

The star tribune did a post about the lake minnetonka owners suing each other over a garage addition on their $11.2 million mansion, one the heiress to a shampoo company, the other an NFL star. A poor person working a $15 mcjob saving a generous 15% of their paycheck would take 2400 years to buy their own lakeside palace

Lake Minnetonka, the elite lakeside community. My peasant ass was allowed in there once, to strip beautiful cedar siding from a decade old Mc Mansion that was being replaced with an even dumber Mc Mansion. These people have no clue. Got hundreds of board foot of stained cedar for hundred bucks.

With housing specifically, the government ought to stabilize it, it's tax base volatility, or worse civil unrest risk. I could rattle off many low hanging easy as hell changes would immediately help regular folk, and likely lead to more stable long term trends.

By importing 4 million people per year to create a permanently and hopelessly oversaturated housing market. A housing market in which the bottom 70% of society will have no other choice than funnel all their disposable income to rent - and thus into the pockets of BlackRock and Vanguard - if they want to have a roof over their head.

If you're a Davosman and your goal is to erase the pesky Western middle class and establish global neofeudalism, there is no better way to do it than making home ownership unaffordable.
