If America's housing crisis is hitting a breaking point in 2026, think of how it could be in 2027. Pitchforks and shotguns? Any presidential candidate in 2028 will need to not only focus on health care, but will also need to build policy around the truth that housing IS health care.

That kind of regulation wouldn't be too far from something like keeping records on who invests in oil. That way, presidents and their friends wouldn't be able to manipulate global prices based on what the president decides as policy. Passive investing in common housing. Who owns what-information.

It wouldn't be a cap on the rent. We would instead be tightening the screws on who owns what.

Common housing is anything below $2100 in the US.

I introduced a solution to that some time ago. If it's 30% that we're supposed to spend on housing and current US median income is $83,730, then "common rent" is everything below: 83730*0.3/12=$2093 Therefore, landlords who rent below $2000 should not be a passive owner.

This does a very good job at the objective facts behind the recent surge in vehicle homelessness. It's about landlords getting greedy. youtube.com/watch?v=iGVD...

If he's mentally ill, then half the country is as well.

What is especially shocking about homelessness in America today is the recent trend in RV encampments. Why can't cities dedicate land with basic utilities for this? We'd be spending less if we just worked with the encampments instead of doing sweeps and impounding the vehicles.

Questions led Trump to tell one reporter, “I hope the fake news are going to be able to write about it accurately,” saying to another, “You’re such a disgrace. Did you hear what I just said?” and calling a third persistent reporter a “wise guy.”

Dear Canada, Vietnam invaded Cambodia to get rid of Pol Pot. Just saying...

If the nation is so divided that it didn't even give a coat tail to the generational leader... The only metaphor which makes sense is the one where Trump grabs the American Collective Mind by the p*ssy and in response, she smacks the GOP and runs fast and far, like FOUR or FIVE terms for the left.

But I swear it just seems like something is coming to a head soon. Don't you think so?

It may be a long time after Trump before the crux event occurs. Ultimately, PONs are indicators, not causes.

Now, someone might say "There was a good deal of time between the end of the second PON (1896) and 1932." But I would argue that the decisions which McKinley made helped to bring about the top-heavy economy which led to the Great Depression. The temporary fix of monetary policy was the crux event.

Canada, please annex the blue states. Please, please, please! Please annex the blue states.

Like one night, we'll have vegetarian lasagna and the next night, something Mexican. A different nationality for each night of the week. Like $150 a month with senior and family discounts. Bluesky the company wouldn't be preparing the food. Just creating the menu and paying the neighborhood cooks

Uhhhh...yeah! It's about Epstein and the war. youtube.com/watch?v=-UPO...

Who wants to be a Bluesky cook for their neighborhood? For example, a Bluesky member pushes for the Bluesky option on Uber Eats or Grub Hub. Flat monthly fee. Every Bluesky member would eat the same thing across the country. If someone doesn't like what's offered, there's always the next night.

Like a BlueSky option in Uber Eats?

I would like to see Bluesky in my dining room. Like... "This is what we're eating tonight. If you want it, we can have it delivered to your door." Having one kind of food each night. Then we KNOW it's ethically-sourced and nutritional. Like long-distance community.

SHARE THIS SHIT.

Don't like being the subject of jokes? Get out of the public eye. Resign. No president is beyond potential ridicule. Don't like it? Don't be president. The Oval Office is not a place for the thin-skinned.

I think it was staged to save Trump from being humiliated by the comedians.

Well, since I am now a social media influencer, I will limit my posting to once or twice a day Feel free to re-write anything I post in your own words. You're the greatest followers anyone could ever have! 👍

The downfall of Trump doesn't mean that MAGA is "wrong." It simply means that he failed to carry out their wishes.

Once we get past the midterms, I'll be in a much better position to forecast. But if you think 2026 is bad, just wait for 2027. Whatever this crux event is going to be, it's going to be a real doozy!

We most closely resemble the first period of Instability (1836 - 1852): Jackson (1828), Jackson (1832), Van Buren (1836) Then the period of instability ensued. This time... Obama (2008), Obama (2012) Then the period of instability ensued. No coat tail.

To define a European-American identity would require them to increase social spending and they can't do that because that would help the minorities.

They complain because their daughters are marrying black men, but they will not define what it means to be an American or if they do define it, it has to do with the empty transactionism of business and money. They want a cultural identity but, yet...they don't.

The first period was about slavery. The second, gold. This period is about identity itself. What is an American?

What's good about this current period of political instability of 2012 - 2028? We get to know what it feels like when America has a period of Instability. We get a glimmer of what 1836 - 1852 and 1880 - 1896 felt like. Granted, each of those periods had their own issues.

The Confederacy is alive and well. Just pay the blue dots to move closer to the mainland.

These Democrats who voted against the war powers resolution.... Grrrrrr... This is not about the "most effective" solution. This is about right and wrong.

If it was the other way around, and a Democrat was doing a war without congressional authority, do you think the GOP would care if voting for such legislation was only "symbolic?" Of course they wouldn't. They would vote for it anyway even if they knew they were going to lose.

Do non-alcoholics get this defensive if they're accused of being one?

The way you pay for a UBI is by taxing the shit out of the companies that laid off and continue to lay off all these workers. They tell us all the time that there's no free lunch. So, why doesn't that work for them?

Musk is a dumbfuck. Integrating AI into our economy will only result in a 0.5% increase in productivity. Instead of admitting he made a mistake in fucking up our government, he digs himself into the hole even further. He's just a fascist piece of shit finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...

"Xavier Becerra, former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (2021–2025) and California Attorney General, is a long-time advocate for a single-payer, "Medicare for All" health care system." - Politico

Aristotle considered the human being to be a political animal. My cyclical approach to American history adds credence to that assumption.

Don't even think the Lego videos are going to stop after the war. They are going to only continue, but they will finally put to rest any assumptions that the rest of the world doesn't or shouldn't have influence on our society and its politics. If our decisions impact the world, then it has a say.

There will never be robot customers.

The hippie commune may be the most sustainable economic model ever presented. Really.

They fight nationalized healthcare and transit to protect the status quo, but the Soviet Union fell and now it’s our turn. That little campfire of inflation is about to be swallowed by a tsunami of deflation. It takes money to have inflation, and the money is drying up.

Laying off thousands for a 0.5% productivity gain over a decade? I’m still looking for this "great American capitalism." 📉 Manufacturing is being hollowed out by outsourcing and AI, while the rest of the economy is just government-subsidized businesses, finance, and real estate.
