And Trump was pretty clear about it…and yet, he gained with black and Hispanic voters, mostly men, at least a bit.

I’m not sure this blog post is saying what you think it is saying, in any case I wonder if there is a straight forward way to fix this highlighted point.

I’m very confused. They want them to appreciate so they can sell the vacant properties to someone else who will also keep them vacant? And if some new ones are built which brings the prices down, he will buy them and remove them from the market? You know this really isn’t happening, right?

Most of this is on the level of tall tales that people tell each other around campfires. Tax shelters; the rich greedily sitting on vacant properties for vague, sinister, reasons. There are housing problems in many areas which would be greatly alleviated with a lot more housing.

Well, to be fair, we were never going to implement Sanders’s plan considering that it is significantly more generous than any system in Europe.

If by fixing it you mean lessening it, sure. If by fixing you mean ending it, no. Any country that is economically strong enough to provide any reasonably acceptable level of health care will have income inequality, many less than we have, but it will be there. Probably more than you want.

Income inequality, in and of itself, should not be “fixed”. It maybe should be ameliorated and I do support progressive taxation, but income inequality is not a primary reason we have scarcity.

If you read the article, it’s not the fact that mass produced tortillas are bland, but that part of the problem is that the development of masa harina, giving us the ability to make tortillas with just water and salt, is also a problem. I make fresh at home and they are great.

No, thank you. I like to live with facts. How you react to honestly stated facts is a different manner.

They’re going up, as they have done so in a functioning, non-depression, economy forever. But the rate they are currently going up is at a level that is historically correlated with a decent economy.
