Rob Robinson calls it like it is:
 Gentrification → Displacement → Homelessness → Criminalization.
After losing his home, he developed a powerful analysis of how the system was designed to fail communities of color.

Empty Homes = Big Profits

Investors don’t need you to rent, they just need the houses in their portfolio.
This is how we get skyrocketing rents, people without homes, and neighborhoods full of empty units.
🏠 It’s not a glitch. It’s the system.

Our systems weren’t built for everyone.
 But they can be rebuilt, if we’re willing to look honestly at how we got here.
Let’s talk about what a different future could look like.

Who holds the power in our economy?
97% of us are employees.

Only 3% are employers.

That’s not a workplace stat
it’s a power structure.

We produce the wealth.

We follow the rules.

But we don’t make them.

🎙️ Richard Wolff breaks it down
Watch now & rethink the status quo!

We talk about wealth as if it's just the result of hard work. But for generations, wealth didn't trickle; it was hoarded.
It's not just about personal choices.
It's about policy history.

We’re often told to pick sides: free market or government.
This isn’t a neutral economy.
It’s a political system that serves power.
The state doesn’t check the market. It serves it.
Not to protect people, but to extract from them.

Today is Karl Marx’s birthday. His ideas still challenge us to think bigger:
📌 Who does the system serve?
📌 What happens when profit matters more than people?

At CHE, we study the system behind the system and imagine what else is possible.

CHE is growing because people are hungry for conversations about power, policy, and possibility to make economics make sense for people, not profit.

Too often, we’re handed narratives that disempower us,
that hide the real forces shaping our lives.
We need courageous ways of seeing.
At CHE, we confront the urgent economic realities our society can no longer afford to ignore.

Most people think economics is about charts and money.
But it’s really about how we live, work, and take care of each other.
Let's rethink what economics really means and who it should serve.

The systems shaping our lives weren’t built by accident and don’t serve everyone equally.

Understanding how the world works is the first step to imagining a better future and building one that prioritizes people.

Losing Your Home Is the System Failing You

Rob Robinson debunks the myths.
 He’s been without a home. He’s not lazy. He’s not addicted. He’s not broken.
The system is. And that’s what needs to change.

We Don’t Need More Housing. We Need to Take Housing Out of the Market.
New units sit empty for investors, not people. 
🏠 What we need is to take homes out of the financial system.
