Looking forward to watching this. It's a topic of interest to me. Housing is a frustrating topic. The issues can be very localized but the patterns aren't complex.

From what I have read, seen, and heard from people in the real estate market there is a massive housing supply shortage which is worse in California which never has really recovered from 2008 crash.

Zoning in many areas make the issues worse. Local rules I fluenced by the World Economic Forum has played a part. Some of the rules might have come from a good place but the impact is driving prices up. Of course there are plenty of people that wanna see this. And it's not just BlackRock. It's home owners that use their house as a savings account.

Yeah, Fiat is probably the biggest issue. It drives people into stocks and real estate as well as the BlackRocks. Removing or at least reforming housing regulations could massively help but sound money (bitcoin) is the real solution. Your home should not be your savings account.

Yeah, I dig it. The truth is, as Thomas Sowell says, there are no solutions, only tradeoffs. But tradeoffs are rarely considered let alone discussed.

I'm a broken record on this on every team I have worked with. I'm always the guy talking about the tradeoffs of different directions/decisions. Especially when I really want to do one of them more than the other. It's easy to get in a rut and get tunnel vision. But trailblazing is often far more risky.

Would love a review

He probably writes this but they can also happen organically. Just as in nature there are times of upheaval.

It is helpful for me to think of the state as an external force that manipulates a system that is self regulating. By that I mean that businesses that fail to meet or satisfy demand fail. Those that abuse their power over a market sector invite new entrants into their sector. When you actually think about the way free markets work it's beautiful.

The ugly thing is when an external force uses monopoly power to manipulate things to favor those that have bribed the unproductive class(politicians and "civil servants").

Cory in interviews always gave me bad vibes.

There is the attitude that this is somehow weak on crime. I think it's just stupid and wasteful. Even if you don't care about the criminals we should care about those they take advantage of and the tax payers that are paying for their housing.

I don't talk about anarco-capitalism much but I do think private parties would do a much better job of this than the state. Prisons are incredibly wasteful, and ineffective. They actually do a better job creating crime than stopping it.

I agree. Its barbaric and dumb. They should be forced to make things right and put to effective productive work. They aren't dummies that should be sitting around. The only people that should be locked in cages are those that can't exist peacefully with the rest of us. And even they could be managed more effectively.

As government crumble the best case is free markets allow the more wealthy to fix their own problems. If people don't wait until it gets this bad we could have much nicer things.

Its what annoys me about the Somalian argument against anarchism. A failed state is terrible but the state failing is at least removing a barrier to improvement. I think the US is far from a failed state but many localities are not.

Most arguments against Anarcho-capitalism simply describe the status quo. Sadly, society is no where near ready for the kind of freedom and responsibility we need to have nice things. I believe we still have to learn just how bad monopoly state power is before we can have something better.

Who let this through the filter?

To be fair, both sides of the circus do it. It's how it keeps being perpetrated

I wonder... do people ever get tired of being shocked and offended by Trump? Seems like most of his haters live off the emotions he evokes.

When I observe Trump these days and try to think about being in opposition I think, how did we get here and what needs to change? I don't think those that love to hate him think like this.

In other words. They focus on the man. They focus on now. They don't see the problems that led to his rise to power. He's a result. Not a cause. Most politicians are. Almost all of them IMO.

Thats not a comforting thought though.

Yep, they would be dumb not to do this.

Pendulums swing. The problem is that lessons are rarely learned. The best path is also rarely offered to the masses. Most political movements are reactionary.

Yep, you nailed it

If any do it will be few

Wecome to SN. Funny that you are in week two writing a comment like this.

You are correct though. The algos and "news" breaks people

I love that joke.

There's one thing that is clear. I don't know. I just know this isn't all real.

There have been bigger ones but the number active right now is kinda wild to me.

I know.

No clue. But, my game would be based on his superlatives.
