Really often you can do nothing or next to nothing. But we so many people are so arrogant they think anything can be defeated by willpower. Even the sun changing the climate, well we can just do it. I find a correlation that the more someone is an atheist the more they think that we can just do something.

In the end it is what it is.

I find a correlation that the more somebody is deeply religious the bigger idiot they are. "Hey, drink this kool aid!"

Doing "something" is a helluva lot better than thinking everything that happens is part of a plan so we should just do nothing. "It's God's plan"...tell that to the family of 4 killed by the drunk driver on Christmas Eve. Or the people inside the FedEx facility last week. Or the people in the grocery store in Colorado.

Or the 567k Americans that have died in the pandemic.

Those people coming here in search of better lives are one reason my property values and rents both increased 36% between 2013 and 2016. If you think the costs of real estate and rents are high now, just wait.

Most of those two million new homes Biden wants to build with taxpayer money, are going to be purchased by the same big money interests that donated $3 billion to influence Washington in the last election.

“One acquisition manager told me that one of the many hedge funds he is working with is buying 500,000 residential homes,”

They are stealing the American Dream and turning the U.S. into a nation of renters, and Washington is helping them do it.

Washington is also allowing visa workers to take two-thirds of the new tech jobs each year.

Rents are so high, young couples will never be able to save for a home and build equity for retirement.

On top of that, the U.S. dollar it at a record low with regard to purchasing power. Every dollar they create out of thin air, to pay for things they can't afford, decreases the value of every pre-existing dollar.

More and more wealth is being concentrated in the hands of a few.

Blackrock (BLK), the world’s largest money management firm, with $ 9 trillion under management, and two former execs in Biden’s cabinet, reported a 49% increase in first quarter profits, thanks to low interest rates and stimulus spending.

Their real estate fund BIREX has a good YTD return.

The crowd that shouts "we must do something" often causes something to be done that is worse than just doing nothing. Related to that is one of the stupidest mantras that you hear now is 'if it saves just one life it was worth it'.
