The American dream feels impossible for many young voters, who see no political fix

Tell me this winter when I'm basking in the glow of a brand new furnace.

And then tell me when, in human history, metals stopped being used as tender for any debts. Now, tell us what that represents, from then until now, in the percentage of human civilization.

Fine and dandy...I'm stoked for you.

That still doesn't make selling at a profit an ongoing cash flow.

We're competing with brand new apartments and amenities that we don't offer. We also have limited windows to fill vacancies as college students are our main market. If we don't fill in August the next window is semester break in January, then spring, then August again. It used to be that if we could show our apartments they would be rented, but at these prices the students aren't even looking. Price matters now more than it did in the past.

I hear you. He's stubborn and is now priced above the market.

We park cars on the property for football games and other events that take place at the university. The boys (his kids) raised the price of parking from $30 to $40 per vehicle. We haven't filled once since then whereas before we always turned cars away.

" Allegiances To Us Citizens Through An American School Of Economics For Harmony Of Interests "

* Nothing Against Capitalism Rather Against Absence Of Personal Volition *

The economic libertarian ( economic liberal ) lives in a vacuum of self infatuation , that attributes all economic gains to its own acumen ,while discounting and dispatching any involvement or contributions of any others who are perceived to be exploitable for optimal gains .

Could you please be a little more vague?

Where government is considered by economic libertarians to be oppressive and inefficient at addressing general welfare , when will personal volition of the economic liberal own up to addressing the general welfare before general welfare is perceived by economic authoritarians ( economic conservatives - socialists - communists ) to be the responsibility of government ?

Force -the only tool in gubmint's box- is oppressive and inefficient by it's very nature..."General welfare" is a strawman rubric used by statists in general -and Marxists in particular- in order to rationalize the use of oppressive and inefficient force, while cravenly cowering behind the less fortunate and infirm as human shields, in order to paper over their covetousness.

Should social conservatives extend its calls for moral impunity to include economic liberals against its avarice and greed ?

Odd how you grabby statists never ever ascribe the human failing of greed to yourselves, isn't it?

" State Capitalism Is Nature And Extent Of Engagement Between Bureaucracy And Economic Markets "

* Double Think *

Could you please be a little more vague?

An economic libertarian is an economic liberal , where economic liberalism espouses free market capitalism , with minimal governance by bureaucracy in directing economic development , or for determining winners or losers in supply and demand .

An economic authoritarian is an economic conservative , where economic conservatism espouses extensive governance by bureaucracy for directing economic development , or for determining winners or losers in supply and demand .

A civil authoritarian is a social conservative and civil libertarian is a social liberal .

A general liberal versus conservative paradigm currently includes fools hurling the term liberal as a pejorative while ignoring economic liberalism .

In political sciences , the terms authoritarian and libertarian are antonyms with respect to aggression by government .

The challenge posed when assuming government is oppressive and inefficient is whether necessities of providing for the general welfare actually exist ; and where necessities of providing for the general welfare actually exist , by personal volition , should the economic liberal decrying government oppression and inefficiency then intercede to provide for the general welfare rather than forcing a shift of that responsibility onto government ?

Should the social conservatives include economic liberals as part of its focus when hurling the term liberal as a pejorative ?

The economic authoritarian perceives itself as a wise king and perceives the authority over public policy through a bureaucracy as a means by which to exercise its wise king theories .

The only use that the welfare state Leninist types have for the Constitution, is to "interpret" its vagaries (i.e. general welfare, necessary and proper) in ways that empowers themselves at the expense of the citizen...After that, it's a dead letter.

No it doesn’t.

I am a young person that has achieved the American dream because I'm motivated and not afraid of hard work.

I'm an elderstatesboomer, but I did it the same way.

Hedge funds are buying up the single family homes all over nevada to turn in to rentals.

Leftisms ultimate goal is to stop Americans from owning private property.

Playing the long game works much better when you buy at market prices than when you buy at 20% over market prices.

They are buying up distressed, and under priced properties in Las Vegas. They have started to do that in Reno and Sparks too.

They aren't paying 20% over.

Yeah, that stupid claim that they somehow benefit from an outlier "raising comps"
is even dumber than the usual idiocy.

The US has higher overall crime rates, particularly violent crime, compared to Europe
, though both regions face challenges with poverty and its link to crime. Europe's lower rates are often attributed to stricter gun laws and robust social safety nets that reduce the effects of poverty, while the US experiences higher rates linked to gun violence and socioeconomic inequality.

• Lower crime rates: Many European countries have some of the lowest violent crime rates globally, often below 1 incident per 100,000 people.
• Social safety nets: Robust welfare states and social programs may mitigate the effects of poverty on crime, ensuring that people do not have to resort to crime for survival.
• Stricter gun laws: Europe's stricter gun laws and lower rates of gun ownership contribute to its lower rates of gun-related violence compared to the US.
