Over time, things will balance out but for now, you can have your 20 million immigrants and higher rent prices. It is an either or situation. What else do you think was going to happen you unicorn farting soy boy?
And I blamed Biden for letting in the immigrants not the immigrants themselves but do not let facts get in the way of your rant.

BlackRock is an unapologetic advocate for ESG, which has come under fire from Republican politicians who have accused corporations of going "woke" by basing investment decisions on climate impact, diversity, or other factors they associate with a liberal agenda.
End of link.
Ah yes, those wealthy Wall Street types are not just Democratic douches pushing up rents. These are the assholes who brought politics to investing. An ESG score is another way of saying how Democrat friendly your company is.
So while Blackrock is stuffing its portfolio with real estate investments pushing up the costs of renting and home ownership on middle America, they dole out a few $ to pols and promote this ESG bullshit and douches like you fall for their crap. Oh, Blackrock is soooo great.
Hey, Soy Boy, can you read a map? You do know Wall Street is in the bluest of blue states right?

Let's recap the idiotic, unprincipled, spineless and opportunistic Repub mindset on war vs intelligent Dem handling of it from just the 4 most recent presidents, shall we?
GW Bush's astonishing incompetence with regard to ordinary National Security measures and Response plunges us into two Wars in the Middle East based on at least 900 lies told by him, his VP and others in his administration. The Repub response?
"You are either with us or against us. Bush is great! He kept us safe! Only America-haters oppose these wars"!
Obama takes office while both of Repub Bush's wars are raging and accomplishing nothing, as predicted. The Repub response?
"Obama is a Warmonger! Why are we still at War? Obama loves war and his fecklessness is plunging us into more wars"!
Obama pulls us out of one of those counterproductive Repub / Bush quagmire wars. The Repub response?
"Obama is a coward! He pulled us out of that war too soon, too late, too big, too small and not in exactly the right way"!
Trump gets appointed so-called president by a handful of Electoral College appointees against the obvious will and wishes of the majority of the American electorate and proceeds to happily preside over the second USA war the previous Repub plunged us into for every minute of every hour of every day of his so-called presidency. The Repub response?
"Trump is a Great Man of Peace! He kept us out of war! There were NO WARS anywhere on Earth under Trump because every world leader feared and respected him! He kept us safe! Oh, and his economic and National Security policies and stewardship results made sure the USA economy was the greatest of any country ever and not one American died from a foreign force or danger the entire time Trump The Good Shepherd watched over his flock. Trump is The God of Peace, Good Health and Prosperty"!
Biden takes over in the midst of the ongoing Repub war still raging under Trump for the entirety of his miserable 4 year term and, oh by the way, the absolute worst economic and national security conditions in USA history but still manages to finally pull us out of that second counterproductive Repub quagmire war. The Repub response?
"Biden is a Warmonger! Biden pulled us out of that glorious Repub war too soon, too late, too big, too small and not in exactly the right way! Oh, and he destroyed the perfect economy Trump handed him too! The Biden economy is Crashing so badly, jobs are being wiped out by the Millions and millions, wages are plunging, buying power is down to zero so of course the only thing on Biden's mind is to plunge us into another counterproductive Repub er I mean Dem War! Like the USA War in Ukraine. Er, I mean the USA War in Gaza. Er, I mean, well, whatever war and conflict is happening anywhere even though the USA is not really directly involved. Besides, remember there were NO WARS anywhere on Earth snd especially NO WAR involving the USA throughout Trump's glorious, best economy ever 4 years in office! Never forget that".
LOL. No sane, peace-loving, prosperty-loving American should waste one brain cell or one minute of their life giving serious consideration to anything any Repub has to say about War, Peace or the Economy.

Meanwhile, the real culprits, the REITs, the billionaire class and the greedy corporations buying up single family homes and driving up rents as much as 30-40%, in some areas are laughing all the way to the bank, as gullible Americans (and some Aussies it would seem), drink-up the Kool-Aid over at FOXY Muse and spread disinformation and misinformation about, "You Guessed IT...it's the IMMIGRANTS fault!"

Presidents are credited or blamed for a lot of things that are beyond their control. I am not sure the economy is going to be great even if Trump gets elected given how much debt has been racked up, but you can see presidents make huge changes in foreign policy and relations between leaders.
Look at the twitter feed on this article of Biden talking to the Iranians about their rumored attack on Israel. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitic...-attack-israel.
I have seen gnats more intimidating than Biden is. Is it any shock that Iran did not heed Biden's warning and launched an attack anyway? Now we are going to have pro-war douches like Xpartan saying an attack on Israel is an attack on the USA and want us to go to war with Iran.
With Biden and his administration, they have thought more of parading around military men in dresses than showing off the power of the military. What impresses their constituents is being laughed at in places like Iran. The reason we have a strong military is that you project such power that others are afraid to face you. We have the opposite now. We are projecting weakness.
Someone put up a meme on Twitter. On one side you have the face of Trump and the word peace. On the other it is the face of Biden and war. Biden was preparing to go to war from the day he got into office. That is something I saw with my own eyes. In fact, a buddy of mine told me that no president had not been re-elected in the midst of a war, and that seems to have been what Biden's plan was and it has blown up in his face.

Gee it is just like I see on Fox.
A lot of people in the US support Crooked Joe. Ha. He can't even read and falls over all the time and lets millions of people in to destroy and kill your own. Wow. You Yankies are different.
Then there is Nancy. Ha.
And Hillary. Ha ha ha.
And Hunter. Give me a break.
And the insurrection. People still locked up. But Black Lives Matter. Um.wtf.
I know I am a racist. Ha ha. The answer to every argument.
Gee you Demolunies have tried every thing including 91 joke charges.(if one of the charges were not a joke. He would be locked up) but he is still free and WILL be the next President of the USA.
Thanks God for making my life so much fun. And especially for Mr Donny Trump. And the funny dudes on this site.
Whilst ever Donny Trump is around and the Demolunes are not in power. The world has a chance.

Posts: 1110Vietnam Trump like R/E billionaire cheat and fruadster, gets the DEATH sentence...
Vietnamese R/E developer sentenced to death for fraud of $12.5 billion dollars, the countrys largest financial fraud case ever.
Vietnam sentences real estate tycoon to death in $12.5 billion fraud case
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/v...aud-rcna147329
I see now, what billionaire, Kevin O'Leary, meant when he was talking to FOXY Muse Business, about Trump's R/E fraud case and says :- "...everything you've just listed off, is done by every R/E developer, everywhere on earth, in every city" {...when referring to the over evaluation of Trump's tax R/E fraud claims...}
But was oh so wrong, when he then goes on to say "...and this [type of thing] has never ever been prosecuted."
The Vietnamese judicial system is sending a clear message, that billionaire fraud, will NOT be tolerated and a DEATH sentence, awaits those who would entertain such brazen criminal behavior.
In light of these events in Vietnam and big mouth billionaires telling the world, this type of fraud is perfectly normal, one has to wonder, if the DOJ, IRS and FBI need to take a closer look at R/E over evaluations and fraud in general by R/E developers?
But the DEATH sentence, for criminal fraud on this scale is an interesting deterrent, for the billionaire class...well at least in Vietnam, anyways!

But the instant Biden took a commanding lead on Predictlt, historically the most accurately predictive of the group, RCP hustled in a 6th site with a closer rating between the two candidates in order to keep Biden's current lead over Trump a wee bit lower. LOL.
Mind you, that cute skyrocketing upward trajectory for Biden and fish hook shaped decline for Trump as you see in that Pic I posted previously began right after Biden's SOTU Address, has been happening for weeks, well before the latest Arizona and Florida events in response to Trump / Repubs' recent victories in their mission to Outlaw Sex For Pleasure, as has been a Classic Repub Party mission for several decades.
Ah. Here it is. See what demonstrably Winger-leaning RCP did there? The pic with only 5 Presidential Betting Odds sites factored in was from just a day or two ago, when Trump still held a 0. 2 point lead over Biden. By contrast, the pic showing Biden with a 0. 5 point lead over Trump is from today. And a 6th site showing Biden and Trump closer than that has suddenly, mysteriously and magically come out of nowhere to join the group and be factored in.
LOL. So funny.

Posts: 5447I thought everyone loved polls?
We haven't had an update on the polls lately but some interesting changes have been in the works since Sleepy, Can't Put Two Words Together, Doesn't Know Who or Where he Is, Laughing Stock Joe Biden delivered his State of the Union Address and began campaigning in earnest.
It seems the typically pro Repub Mainstream Media got it a tad wrong when they were insisting Biden's speech and presentation didn't earn him a bump in the polls and, oh my goodness, might have even made them worse for him.
Remember when that same typically pro MSM was getting everyone all excited about those polls showing Trump 5-7 points ahead of Biden in the head-to-head, the 5-way and the battleground state poll consensus?
Hmm. As of this writing, just 5 weeks after that terrific SOTU Address, Biden is now 0. 2 points from Trump in the head-to-head consensus, less that 2 points from him in the 5-way contest, 2. 7 points (less than half of what it was 5 weeks ago) in the battleground states. A statistical tie and well within a normal +/-MoE on all counts, cutting Trump's pre SOTU Address lead at least in half and way more than that on most issues.
And that is in the RealClearPolitics' consensus polls on those topics, a demonstrably Winger-leaning site.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/
Oh, and this is the most interesting item in that regard. The Presidential Betting Odds sites were showing Trump way ahead of Biden ore SOTU. Not anymore. Now their RCP consensus shows Trump only 0. 5 point ahead of Biden. And take a gander at the trajectory of that Blue / Biden graph line vs the Red / Trump graph line! LOL. Wow.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/el...024/president/
See, those Presidential Betting Odds sites don't merely look at a consensus of polls. They factor in everything they deem important, such as the direction of the polls, money, the expenditure of money, the ground game, the competence of each campaign and so on.
Interesting, huh?

Well, it isn't Biden's war, but Biden's position on Gaza is to encourage a cease fire for the sake of the people of Gaza and Israel.
The George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump of Israel, Netanyahu's position is to keep whatever slaughter his spectacular national security incompetence allowed to begin going as long as it takes to provide the distraction from his criminal charges he was hoping for.

That would be after all of Trump's fine economic and national security policies and stewardship results came to full fruition and were very, very busy decimating global supply chains, destroying worldwide economies, wiping out millions upon millions of jobs, mass murdering millions of people, etc, etc, etc. But it was sure as hell well on its way to those ultimate Worst President in History results.
Nice try, though.

"The average worker's "real" hourly earnings their pay after accounting for inflation increased 0. 6% from March 2023 to March 2024. It had earlier declined for two years during the Covid-19 pandemic as high inflation eroded workers' paycheck growth, but that trend has since reversed. ".
Oops, sorry, Mr. Lefetz, you are right. Thailand Tooms is just cherry picking the data.

Production and nonsupervisory workers make 7 cents more per hour than a year ago, 15 cents more per hour than two years ago, 6 cents less per hour than three years ago, and 37 cents less per hour than in March of 2020 during the pandemic.
Gee thanks, Joe.
And there is more in the article with 57 to 66% of the people in the seven swing states saying the economy is not so good / poor.
Who knew that letting in millions of immigrants would cause rents to skyrocket?

Posts: 5447LOL. Brave Stock Market Investers ran in mild panic over that Inflation report
Really funny. After months and months of positive reports and all time record high closes, one Inflation report came in a whole 0. 1 point "higher than expected" and stock market Nervous Nellie's ran for the hills. We'll, not as much as MSM tried to spin it. Actually, the broad market simply swung by a bit less than 1% in a day. Which is not uncommon in an environment of repeated All Time Record Hogh closes. And daily 1% swings up and down are not all that uncommon anytime.

There are some bright spots, such as food prices, though. Household buying power is also up over the past year as wage growth has outstripped inflation.
Luckily, Biden's post-State of the Union Address bump in the polls, which typically pro Repub Mainstream Media worked mightily to convince us did not happen and perhaps even made it worse for Biden ("Don't you want to side with those loveable Repub Winners"? LOL), strongly suggests more and more Americans are realizing it now that they are paying attention, finally catching up to me and my awareness of it, even though they live right there in the neighborhood of my rental property and I live in exciting, sexy Bangkok.
