Immigrants aren’t buying up all the housing, private equity assholes like JD and his billionaire puppeteers are.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.
