You outdid yourself on this post....and my neighbors may have already called the paddy wagon (a little benefit of apartment living) as I was laughing so loudly - that camel bedspread on Nick....priceless. If asked, I'm sure they will tell my other neighbors "it was a general disturbance". Both of those articles on housing are shockingly bad, but can you blame Eric? He's a failed fiction writer trying to make a buck ;). This shilling of "low inventory" at some point should bring criminal consequences. Someone told me that they were reading something from NAR from 2008 that blamed everything again on inventory. I mean, don't we have cutting-edge technology that could tell us actually how many people inhabit certain cities, etc.? Sigh.
On regulators: they were gutted in early 90s after failing Bank of New England and had other Boston banks right at the edge. Their next stop was to be NY where Citibank would have been next when Teddy Kennedy among others tackled them. They now work hand in hand with the banks, levying fines when there is, say, fraud. Banks view it as cost of doing business, regulators look like they are doing their job. At least to the uninformed.
People seem shocked by the fraud committed by the Fed. Monarchs did it by debasing their currency after incurring debt for exploration or war, Enriching their favorite merchants and suppliers. Modern countries use the facade an indepdendent bank. Same shit different century.
His movie set in black slums Spike Lee you would have thought would use rap, or blues, or jazz. His choice seems remarkable to me, but he’s a true artist unlike me.
So-called “classical music” when it’s good, as it often is, isn’t highfalutin, shown for example by Spike Lee in "He Got Game“ using almost entirely music by the modern classical American composer, Aaron Copeland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qh6Zshboyw
My brother teaches high school science in a place where frogs are easy to get. His students ask about the boiling frogs urban legend every year or so. So he has them get a pot of water, a living frog, and set up the Bunsen burner to heat things up.
The frog sits in the water quite happy for a while. Then the water gets too hot and the frog jumps out. Every time. The students vary the rate of heating, track the temperature and time. But it's always the case that the frog jumps out. It never sits and cooks.
This may mean that frogs are smarter than some people. Or perhaps propaganda affects frogs differently? Anyway it kinda wrecks the metaphor so I promise not to do this again. . . soon. 😁
I think it’s a myth that the ruling classes of the west are at war with the ruling classes of Russia and China. Seems time they’re are working together on advancing a shared agenda in order to achieve a common vision of the future, one in which they own everything and we own nothing, and also there are a lot less of us and those of who survive the culling will be completely controlled/controllable slaves with their digital concentrations camps (smart cities, vaccine passports, digital IDS, CBDC, microchips/Nuerolinks, etc. etc.). The pseudo/nep-cold war and fantasy of a “multi-polar” future is a fantasy concocted for public consumption to distract from the realities of an international conspiracy being orchestrated by the worlds elites and governments and international orgs they control. All of the recent and ongoing events/agendas (pandemic, war, climate, finance, etc.) are furthering those shared aims of dispossessing, culling, and enslaving their respective populations and setting the stage for the New World Order/One World Government they’ve been dreaming about for decades.
Have you read Riley Waggaman’s - an American living in Russia - blog? He’s been meticulously chronicling the Russian ruling class/government’s ties with the WEF/Big Pharma and their eager participation in the exact same policy agendas as their western “enemies”. Nothing is as it seems.
A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY: SYSTEMIC COLLAPSE AND PANDEMIC SIMULATION by Fabio Vighi was a fascinating read!
He did a good related podcast I'll look for.

Amazing work as usual!
Housing units divided by population seems pretty simple to me, but I'm not a BLS math PhD. What good is a hammer if you don't use it?
Agreed and simple enough for most to understand one would think. I'll be stealing that particular hammer and using it :)

There is a photo of Putin and Klaus Schwab being chummy.
