briefcomment··on If you sell a house these days, the buyer might be a pension fund
I didn't downvote you if that's what you're implying. I don't downvote anything.

They likely believe they don't need our buy in.

WEF's official video [1]. They took down the article they had on this topic, probably due to backlash [2].

We're waiting

Right, but the greater the share of the market you own, the less you have to invest in making your offering more attractive, and the more you can start simply increasing rents.

They along with others are trying to build a monopoly/oligopoly in housing. Naturally we would expect regulations against this, but the fact that it's going this far is a bad sign.

The point is that landlords will be able to suck up the income that you spend on non-essentials and luxuries.

If you own all options and the renter needs to have some sort of housing, they'll pay anyway. The end result is that the owner will start collecting a larger percent of the renter's earnings.

Call it what you want, but the obvious fallout of this is that valuable assets will be owned by very few people, and rented out. A tenet of the Great Reset is that "you will own nothing and be happy".

The problem is that Blackrock is taking advantage of "free money" to get in on this arbitrage while it can, while normal people don't have anywhere close to the same opportunities to take advantage of "free money". Naturally, Banks eat up all land and houses, and then "you will own nothing and be happy", as per WEF.

Once you own all housing, what's to stop you from increasing rents?
briefcomment··on El Salvador makes Bitcoin legal tender
I don't think LN is easy to use. Common trope is that most Bitcoin maximalists have never used it.
briefcomment··on Carbon dioxide peaks near 420 parts per million at Mauna Loa observatory
It's probably not as clear cut as that. Studies at the bottom of this article.

briefcomment··on DOJ seizes $2.3M in cryptocurrency paid to the ransomware extortionists Darkside
Thanks!

You might find it interesting to know that, irl, I never talk about anything remotely conspiratorial. I live life like a normal person, and talk like this on forums as a hedge.

briefcomment··on DOJ seizes $2.3M in cryptocurrency paid to the ransomware extortionists Darkside
Our "respected authorities" have been "predicting" this since last year [1].

briefcomment··on MagSafe has 'clinically significant' risk to cardiac devices
A little off topic, but I've noticed my fingers start feeling "fatigued" if I hold my iPhone 12 mini for more than a couple minutes, so much so that I've gone back to using my iPhone 6. I'm curious if it's the magnets. Has anyone else felt anything similar?
briefcomment··on Cleveland Clinic – Those who have had Covid-19 unlikely to benefit from vaccine
> "Conclusions. Individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination, and vaccines can be safely prioritized to those who have not been infected before."

Cicadas bio-accumulate mercury [1]

briefcomment··on Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to build new kind of nuclear reactor in Wyoming
Understood. My comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek. Thank you for unflagging.
briefcomment··on The depth of Bill Gates' ties with Epstein
Just want to say, this was flagged, but I appreciate the mods unflagging this so quickly. I don't think this is a poor quality article.
briefcomment··on Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to build new kind of nuclear reactor in Wyoming
How is that a conspiracy theory? There's pretty clear evidence in the article that there is likely a connection as far back as the early 2000's.
briefcomment··on Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to build new kind of nuclear reactor in Wyoming
Related discussion[1]. Also, funny how this popped up 30 minutes after a report on Gates' ties with Epstein was posted[2].

briefcomment··on The lab-leak theory: inside the fight to uncover Covid-19’s origins
It's a story. Mature people can act smartly and morally even when they are annoyed

If I had to pick a "moral" of that fable, it's to never let your guard down, no matter what.

briefcomment··on The lab-leak theory: inside the fight to uncover Covid-19’s origins
Craziest excuse I've ever heard: "I couldn't be bothered to act rationally and morally because someone else was being too annoying".
briefcomment··on One-Fifth of U.S. Beef Capacity Wiped Out by JBS Cyberattack
Posted this on the related thread on the front page: Klaus Schwab of the WEF “predicted” this a year ago [1]. Either the WEF and other NGOs are incredibly prescient on a number of unrelated issues, or we may be getting taken for a ride. [1]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0DKRvS-C04o

briefcomment··on ProtonMail includes Google Recaptcha for login
hcaptcha is so much harder than recaptcha. You actually have to spend a couple seconds per photo sometimes. Not ideal for users.
briefcomment··on Costco is seeing inflation abound, impacting a slew of consumer products
My wages have certainly not kept up with houses, land, crypto, or anything scarce really. Those idle assets seem to be capturing all the gains.
briefcomment··on Costco is seeing inflation abound, impacting a slew of consumer products
> "working class people make $x a year that grows probably much less than 7% a year. So if inflation is higher, wealth inequality grows less quickly"

How does wages not keeping up with inflation decrease inequality?
