Honestly, act blue is the worst. I have stopped giving to all liberal candidates and causes that use it because it means act blue will share my info with a million candidates running for Congress in states i don't live in.

Yeah, what is up with that? The sparrows in my yard gang up on each other like a prison yard fight.

And the thousands of companies like me that sell services to those small businesses. If they start closing up, there will be a big trickle down effect to service providers.

Wasn't the deadline set by Congress? What actual authority does he have to keep extending it?

This is all an effort to consolidate wealth at the top of the economic food chain. Kill off small businesses, destroy any capital owned by middle and lower class people so that mega companies and the ultra rich can buy it all up for pennies on the dollar. We're heading towards Rollerball, people.

These tariffs are a regressive tax. Small businesses and poorer people will be much more affected than large companies and wealthy Americans who can absorb higher costs. This is going to kill so many independent retailers.

We had coed bathrooms in college almost 30 years ago. No problems whatsoever except having to listen to the occasional sex in the shower. Parents got used to it pretty quickly when visiting.

It sounds like you believe that the only solution is building more units, even if they are all too weekending for most people. I just don't believe that, sorry. I am not against building but it needs to be a more balanced approach to avoid displacing people who already live in affordable units.

I'm only talking about multi family. If you were to build a million units, yes maybe costs would come down. But that is impossible in the short term. All we're doing is building housing that people can't afford *now*. Any lower costs won't be felt for decades.

You're talking about long term housing price increases being less. That may be true but it doesn't help actual people living in affordable units now that are being torn down to build units they can't afford.

Building more market rate housing doesn't lower costs of existing housing. Ask anyone living in an apartment in any major city if their rent has gone down or if they were able to find cheaper housing than their current rent without moving out of the city. The answer will be no.

It doesn't in enough of a measurable way that makes housing actually affordable for real people. Not in the short term during an individual's lifetime.
