Blackrock isn’t a housing company or developer, it’s an investment group. What’s happening here is that a group that hires a lot of very smart people to manipulate market values has found an easy mark in housing.
The housing shortage is fueled by artificially high prices, not square footage or bedrooms. That’s what you’re missing.
Causing annoyance is one of the more polite ways of expressing your dissatisfaction with the status quo.
Is the shaft folded sheet metal? That’s so interesting.
Can’t have driver issues if you don’t have drivers!
Yeah, are we ready to have a serious conversation about removing him from office yet, or will our republican neighbors wait until the death toll hits the millions, the world is in a full economic depression, and France has repointed its strategic weapons towards us and Israel?
Obviously a rhetorical question, we know the answer.
I was thinking the same thing. If you view each panel as his perception of the pool rather than objective reality, then at least it has a cohesive narrative… But then the overarching message seems to become “ignore your perception and do the thing” which feels odd for a mental health community.
I just love that there are multiple people in Trump’s administration who are credibly accused of “drinking and misconduct” so you need to actually read their names and titles to know which one got canned on any given day.

France has absolutely no qualms about trying and sentencing someone who doesn’t bother showing up for legal proceedings.
The most likely outcome here is a limp dick fine and a lot of hot air about justice etc.
Yeah, I’m with you on that (like, if it were a fake attempt, wouldn’t you want the shooter to not be a Republican?), but there are enough weird things around the shooting that it should give anyone pause.
The big one that I haven’t seen a compelling answer for is how someone managed to get on a roof within comfortable plinking distance of a former president running for reelection and then fire multiple shots before getting dusted. “Incompetence” is the only answer we’ve been given, so I’m not surprised that conspiracy theorists are flocking to this.
I don’t have it handy, but I recommend reading Anthropic’s report about mythos and security. They state that in the long run, models which can iteratively build an attack against a perceived vulnerability will be a major win for defenders, but in the short term, they present an advantage to attackers since they basically expose oodles of new zero days.
Why is it that the proponents of this argument never substantiate it with numbers?
How many troops are deployed to combat from Israel versus other bases in the region? What percentage of our supplies are stored in Israeli bases or pass through Israeli ports on their way to combat forces? Hell, how many airstrikes against Iran departed from Israel versus other locations (like literal aircraft carriers)?
I have a funny feeling that Israel’s military value to America is “impossible to quantify” because all efforts to do so have made it obvious that this relationship is a massive net loss for America.
What an incredibly sad thing to admit.
I’d nearly forgotten how he sent JD “Mercy stroke” Vance to resolve the situation.
If you think about the corporation as a vehicle for investor capital rather than an entity which provides services, the prevalence of this decision makes a lot more sense.
I had no idea he was such an iconic character. My buddy in high school was a gearhead and always had his nose in the latest copy of Jegs, so I was indirectly exposed to RF for years. Pretty cool to see he has a history all the way back to the '50s!
No true leftist would post this
In the current context, where we’re explicitly talking about Epstein and his network of suppliers and customers, we can reasonably infer this and realize that it’s a weird fucking time to lionize the celibate pedophile.
Those of us who lived through the Microsoft vs Linux debacle know that you don’t need a large, popular distribution to manufacture a legal challenge. All you need is something that effectively undermines the opposition’s legal basis.
It’s the sort of move that might look like a clever reversal, but ultimately has a very steep price tag.
A blockade is an act of war, and this one is clearly pointed at the rest of the world, not Iran. It’s predicated on the same faulty assumption that Trump’s administration made when invading Iran: our military is unanswerable, and they will take it lying down.
Escalation paths from this are all bad-- what if an EU ship ignores challenges from a US Navy vessel, or China sends a military escort with a shipping fleet? Are we really about to start another shooting war, or will we stand there with our dicks in our hands as they sail by?
I’m thinking this brilliant idea is abandoned in a week.
I’m saying that companies owning houses is the market manipulation, neighbor.
