Re: DIY Real Estate

There are very weird things happening in the residential real estate market these days. Honestly I can't make any sense of it...especially given the interest rate environment and long term demographics of our country. I don't see the attraction. I occasionally browse through listings in oddball pla...

Re: DIY Real Estate

Is OP's post the sign of a real estate top? Why does it seem that everyone and their uncle aspires to become a landlord these days when a decade ago most people wouldn't take a second glance at houses that were being sold off for pennies on the dollar? There are very weird things happening in the re...

Re: Mosler on current inflation...the MMT response

He has other videos where he addresses inflation more specifically but I was looking for his most recent video to gauge his reaction to present economic turmoil. From what I can gather( and I watched video while eating breakfast and getting ready for work... so I would have to rewatch to get more sp...

Mosler on current inflation...the MMT response

Given the confusion and chaos in the markets I was curious about Warren Moslers perspective on our 'inflation' situation. The popular narrative has been to blame this 'inflation' on the MMT crowd so I wanted to see his defense being that he is probably one of the leading figureheads of this particul...

1) Trump didnt push house arrest and inoculations at gunpoint. (Although he is a conman, and may have tacitly supported it. All the oligarchs seized much more power) 2) So we need to shore up the rules right? Close the border, Voter ID, paper ballots, less political discussion in schools, more grid...

I do have to appreciate Bill Maher's live and let live philosophy. Russell Brand is another liberal that has been pro freedom.

John Mackey has never been a 'leftist'

Another head scratcher for me....why are natural and organic grocers and health food stores generally associated with left wing? Wouldn't conservative food practices look more organically Amish than Monsanto and syngenta?
