If supply is supposed to lower prices, why are rents rising with empty units?

Because in a financialized housing market, homes and rent rolls are used as collateral, so vacancy can pay and prices stay high. That’s why adding supply alone doesn’t drop prices.

#WolffBites: "Affordability" depends on your income and what it lets you buy. The employer class (3% of US) sets most wages/salaries and likewise sets most prices we must pay. Employees' "affordability" issue is caused by capitalist employers.

Hillary Clinton claims TikTok is influencing young people’s views on Israel-Palestine Former secretary of state complains young Americans being swayed by unreliable media on TikTok, making it difficult to have a ‘reasonable discussion’ about events in the Middle East

Hilary Clinton calls young people who disagree with her (on Israel vs Gaza) misled by TikTok. They should, of course, rely instead on mainstream medias' "truth." Next she may call to censor one so the other gets a monopoly, what ruling classes do.

People living along polluted Thames file legal complaint to force water firm to act Residents claim raw sewage and poorly treated effluent as result of Thames Water’s failings are threat to health

#WolffBites: Right-wing UK leader Thatcher privatized London's water system. Private owners aimed for profits, sacrificed everything else. Now extreme pollution or sky-high costs confront London's water-users. Privatization often fails.

Schools urged to trial four-day week to ease pressure on teachers in England and Wales Advocacy group tells education secretary ‘working smarter’ can protect staff wellbeing and help students

#WolffBites: UK teachers quitting because of "crippling" working conditions. No "Labor gov't" plan for pay increases, more hires. Instead, plans to reduce teacher work-weeks. Capitalism's crisis deepens as it undereducated its own.

"Dr. Strangelove" predicted the future President Trump and everyone who supports him acts like the insane general from the movie.

"Dr. Strangelove" is relevant.

The anti-fluoride nuts of the '60s begat the anti-vaxxers and climate deniers of the '20s.

The kids aren't alright – Economic health of Gen Z Unemployment is rising and wage growth is declining for young adults, which could have a long-term scarring impact.

#WolffBites: Gen Z (born from 1997 to 2012) suffer heavy economic distress. American dream unattainable. US capitalism hugely disappointing. Oxford economics presents the economic statistics proving it.

I spoke w/ Choctaw historian A.S. Dillingham about how the Thanksgiving myth helps the U.S. avoid reckoning w/ its own history.
