We have many times more empty houses and apartments than we do homeless people, but America can’t have laws limiting investments in single-family residences (which are being snapped up as passive investments by foreigners and Wall Street) because the industry owns so many politicians. Investment companies own about a quarter of all American single-family homes: last year, investors bought 22% of all American homes sold and “donated” millions to politicians. Many were purchased specifically to leave them sitting empty, because real estate goes up in value faster than even the stock market. By pulling all these houses out of the housing market, these investors and speculators are driving up — intentionally — the price of housing. And as the price of housing goes up, so does homelessness: there’s a linear relationship between the two when the price of housing in a community exceeds one-third of the community’s median income. So why can’t we regulate that? Why can’t there be at least some disincentive, some penalty, for this destructive form of investing? Citizens United.

This Supreme Court decision is destroying America — and no one is talking about it

A couple thoughts on that debate:

Trump talking about the events in Colorado like they arent spurred by racist conspiracy theorists and have been disproved by locals and their testimony

Kamala still has not denounced the genocide outright, despite the biggest issue from undecided voters being that Joe Biden dropped the ball with it.

The moderators would talk over kamala, but never trump, despite him repeatedly going over time and speaking out of turn

Kamala needs to stop respecting trump any more than he is respecting democracy itself.

Abortion hangs in the balance. There have been 3 major times in this country when states rights was at the forefront of discussion: the civil war, the civil rights movement, and now the modern abortion movement. And in all past cases, the objectively moral choice was to not leave it to the states and end persecution of people in need.

We are about to enter a part of history where the office of the president decides global fates. Vote, because the conservatives wont forget to in November.
