There is a strong correlation between unaffordable homes and people voting strong men and far right. It's a policy choice to stop the "homes as an investment", a policy that advantages the rich the most. But that policy choice determines where society will go.
Where I live, they're now taxing people that own properties where nobody lives. It won't be enough, but we'll see.
Okay well we've had three years without a strong man president and all we've gotten are higher interest rates and a letter telling us the economy is doing great. Not even an acknowledgement of the problem, let alone expressed interest in solving it, or a plan, or action.
This is on the blues right now. They need to do something fast if you don't want a strong man president.
We're still recovering from the impact of a previous President who openly and regularly promoted a complete disregard for public safety during a literal pandemic.
