Hey, how about housing? See how when we build more units, it gets way more expensive? This is because housing is both a commodity and an asset. But financialization means the pressure is on to treat houses as "sources of generational wealth."

Hey, quick question: did rents in Minneapolis rise or fall since 2020?
I know your graph makes a big deal of a post-COVID drop in rents
*RELATIVE TO INFLATION WHICH REACHED A 40-YEAR HIGH*
but
RENTS INCREASED IN MINNEAPOLIS, NOT DECREASED
(see below). Why not measure rents relative to wages?

He was always soft on abortion, and the calculation was made not to pack the court, instead saving Roe as a wedge issue to use against Trump in the election.

That was in response to the Irgun and Lehi's Zionist terrorism in the British Mandate, after the war, when it was already too late... Here's an account from August Grabski's "Rebels Against Zion" by Jack Jacobs, a scholar of the Bundist history: www.academia.edu/42727822/Aug...
!["Who is to blame for all these tragic events? It is certain that British Imperialism which has exclusively followed its own interests in Palestine, is playing an unworthy, a hypocritical game with the Zionists and with the Arabs [...] It has calmly left the Zionists to revel in their exaggerated hopes, and prepared for itself in the Jewish colonization in Palestine a scapegoat, a lightening conductor against the anger of the Arabs [...] It must be conceded to the British that they have not failed to give clear signs that they do not take the Balfour declaration [...] seriously. Have then the Zionists, with their insane plans for transforming the small Jewish minority in Palestine into a majority [...] not stirred up with their own hands the fire of Arabian and Moslem fanaticism? Was it not only
anti-democratic and reactionary, but almost mad and absurd to support the Jewish colonization by the power of British bayonets instead of by an honorable understanding with the Arabs? [...] We must make not only British Imperialism, not only Arab fanaticism, but also Zionism share the responsibility [...]."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f6zutsbduyps2tmtcqiegb4a/bafkreihdylphqsquql6g363krckyqik32xm2ldtn4u3ka336morsyujhsq@jpeg)

If you want more proof that rent increases are the result of market manipulation, not some supposed housing shortage due to anti-YIMBY zoning, just look at the actual numbers.
As financialization of housing assets decouples the 'housing' from the 'asset' prices, new builders take houses off-market

Nothing on earth will convince supply-siders that ROI demand is relevant or that permitting more private housing doesn't lower rents. Not even this handy graph showing that private home-building follows rent prices, not the other way around. There's more supply, more new units, and higher rents.

The Oil CEO running this environmental conference sure got a lot of slack for saying there was "no science" behind limiting fossil fuels to combat climate change. He was only talking about the "dismal science," folks

Since they haven't been released as part of what you suspect is a cover-up, we can't know for sure, but we might be able to do a back-of-the-envelope calculation by comparing rates of sexual abuse perpetrated by settlers and in Israeli detention centers. Do we think there may be more than "dozens?"

No, the Bantustans did not have seats at the UN. Are you saying the military regime in Israel doesn't qualify because the PLO's 1974-era seat was converted in 2012? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palesti...

Each Bantustan had its own government and South Africa tried very hard to convince everyone that these were separate nation-states from White South Africa. This is not a new strategy for apartheid countries. www.sahistory.org.za/article/home...

Enforcement happened before being overturned, which means anyone who gets disqualified during an election is immediately disadvantaged while they appeal. The fact that these enforcement actions will be overturned by an embattled Supreme Court is part of the action: www.jpost.com/opinion/arti...

The Bantustans were supposedly states, too. In reality, they were simply a legal fiction created to absolve South Africa of its rights toward those it oppressed. The Occupied Territories do not have the rights of states. www.google.com/books/editio... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bantust...
