For the few who see this. Rent control is always a terrible idea. Nearly EVERY economist agrees. History agrees.
The solution to high housing costs is building. That's it. No more, no less.

I'm playing #Skyrim again.
It may be too much of a punishment, but when someone wants to extort or attack me, I like being able to shout their soul out of their body, then trap their soul in a crystal.

A'ight, how does selling*all* of your possessions to give to the poor solve poverty?
Yes, it is beautifully generous and can uplift some people, but it also puts another person into poverty.

Do not rejoice when you see lower gas prices. They come at the cost of a nation's democracy and sovereignty.

At the moment, I'm livid at Naveen Manga, director of IT for Marriott. It shouldn't take 25 minutes of arguing with a bot to get a human to tell me "The next huttle is at 7:15, Zone 2". I'm cold, travel weary, and hungry. And now my shuttle is missed do to a shit AI bot.
I hold Naveen responsible.

I'm a big fan of complaining. Complaining is how attention is brought to things than can and should change for the better.

Necessities should be cheap, whereas luxuries can/should be expensive.
We have made the opposite true.
Food & housing have become the greatest expense for nearly every household. Meanwhile, electronics, coffee, watches, etc. are more affordable than ever.

The market is very down this morning. Why? Because fucking 2 companies saw losses, so people got scared and sold everything! (Not all of everything)

Giving up little joys is hard.
Living under fascism is unacceptable.
I cancelled #Spotify today because F*** ICE.
Also, I'm buying a put option on $SPOT once I see them dip just a little bit. I'd be glad to profit from their bad decisions.

"...the number of single-family rentals has declined, from 15.2 million to 14.4 million. As a result, the share of single-family family homes being rented has fallen from roughly 1 in 5 to about 1 in 6."
This is wild to me. THIS is the housing shortage!

Business idea:
Buy student loan and medical debt for pennies on the dollar.
While it'd feel great to forgive the debt, it would feel good to reduce that debt by a few percent more than you paid for it, just so you can afford to keep doing it.
