President Joe Biden has proposed a plan to cap annual rent increases at 5% nationwide, aiming to provide relief to renters struggling with high housing costs. The plan, expected to be announced on Tuesday, would disincentivize landlords from raising rents more than 5% per year by removing tax benefits. The proposal would only apply to landlords who own more than 50 units and would not pertain to units that have not yet been built.

Key Points:

The plan would cap annual rent increases at 5% nationwide The proposal would remove tax benefits from landlords who increase rent more than 5% per year The plan would only apply to landlords who own more than 50 units The proposal would not pertain to units that have not yet been built The plan would need to be approved by Congress

Reactions:

The National Apartment Association (NAA) has denounced the plan, stating that rent control is a "failed policy" that does not work and would exacerbate the affordable housing crisis. The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) has also expressed concerns, saying that the plan would discourage more home building, which is the key to a more affordable rental market. Some experts argue that the plan would provide short-term relief to renters while new construction comes to the market.

Background:

The median U.S. asking rent was $1,653 in May, the second consecutive monthly increase and the highest level since October 2022. The proposal is part of the administration's efforts to address high housing costs and mitigate the impact of inflation.

Next Steps:

The plan is expected to be announced on Tuesday and would need to be approved by Congress. The proposal would likely face opposition from the real estate industry and some lawmakers.

The plan's effectiveness in addressing the affordable housing crisis remains to be seen.

Money is created when banks lend it into existence. When a bank provides you with a $100,000 mortgage, it creates only the principal, which you spend and which then circulates in the economy. The bank expects you to pay back $200,000 over the next 20 years, but it doesn't create the second $100,000 - the interest. Instead, the bank sends you out into the tough world to battle against everybody else to bring back the second $100,000.

Sovereignty and Dominion

The original idea of Sovereignty and Dominion dates back so far in human history that it is almost impossible to date, however the historical concept has always been applied to a king, who has Sovereignty and Dominion over their subjects.

However this has always been a deception as the people are the ones, and have always been, the holders of true Sovereignty in Status, with the King holding Sovereignty in Title only. This is depicted within the Bible, and regardless of any religious beliefs the truth still holds true today.

In layman’s terms, Man is given Royal Dominion, to be stewards of Earth where Man is appointed king over creation, and is expected to manage, develop and care for creation.

The title “King” has been stolen from the many individuals and consolidated into one, usually as a dictator. Consider this the ring within the Lord of the Rings, the novel written by J. R. R. Tolkien.

Within the Bible the story portrays “God” creating Man and giving Freewill, Dominion and Sovereignty to Man over the Earth.

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth.”

Note: Although Man had dominion over the Earth, an individual did NOT have dominion of another, meaning you only have Sovereignty in Your Dominion. You only ever have sovereignty over your jurisdiction, not someone else’s.

The story then goes on to tell of Mans expulsion from paradise for eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge.

This is a metaphor for taking from the future; with the change from Paradise to Hell being the loss of Freewill, Dominion and Sovereignty.

113 sats \ 2 replies \ @Hamstr 16 Jul

I have a theory! Because Guam is unincorporated territory, which is also a "State" by definition:

but D.C. has made it clear we're their possession, so if I'm reading the History correctly, it was the United States of America that bought Guam from Spain. So Americans technically should have rights to this land-- they made the Chamorros Americans and U.S. citizens. So all they have to do is not claim U.S. status.

so I went digging into text for land. Because apparently everyone is paying for land that belongs to the federal gov't.

for the link it made me think.. Except in cases where existing treaties with foreign countries grant specific rights to citizens. Could this be referring to nationals? If so then this Nulls the reason to pay tax. What is your interpretation?

60 sats \ 0 replies \ @Lux 16 Jul

This is NOT American land, US, DC and territories are foreign corporations to the Union of states. They give you the legalese definition of State. US citizen is an employee of a foreign corporation. My interpretation is that it's a land grab (from sovereign people). Maybe it's called unincorporated coz it wasn't part of the incorporation doctrine https://rumble.com/v2zvxc2-the-rights-of-a-us-citizen.html

The capture of Guam by the United States during the Spanish-American War in 1898 marked the beginning of American rule over the island, which would last for over a century[1][2][3]. The U.S. Navy governed Guam from 1898 until 1950, with a brief interruption when the island was occupied by Japan during World War II[1][3].

In the immediate aftermath of the capture, Captain Henry Glass entrusted the governance of Guam to a small contingent of American troops and a naturalized American citizen named Francisco Portusach[4]. However, Portusach's role was more of a balancing power with the Spanish treasurer José Sixto, rather than a formal governorship[2].

The period of political ambiguity ended in August 1899 when Captain Richard Leary became the first naval governor of Guam, establishing the first naval administration[2][4]. Under U.S. rule, Guam underwent significant changes, including the adoption of American systems of governance, language, and culture[1].

The naval governors made many contributions to the island, though their rule was not without controversy[1]. The U.S. Navy's governance had long-lasting impacts on Guam, including the construction of infrastructure, the rebuilding of the capital Hagåtña based on a California model, and the establishment of large military bases that still dominate much of the island today[1].

Some people know how to provoke love in the other person, serial lovers as it were, men and women alike. They know what buttons to push to get loved. But they don’t necessarily love, rather they play cat and mouse with their prey.

To love, you have to admit your lack, and recognise that you need the other, that you miss him or her.

Those that think they’re complete on their own, or want to be, don’t know how to love. And sometimes they ascertain this painfully.

They manipulate, pull strings, but of love they know neither the risk nor the delights.”
