    He gets every award out there. This is amazing.

    Private equity:

    • Rental buildings are bought by these companies and filled (or not) for Air BNB, luxury housing, etc. This leaves no affordable housing.
    • They price fix the shit out of these locations through rental software.
    • Prices rarely go down, and if they do, it’s not much.
    • They push for a building frenzy so they can park their money and rent out the bottom floor. Doesn’t matter if some homes are empty if the price doesn’t go down and you’re price fixing.
    • Won’t let you work from home because it fucks with all of the above.
    • Only beholden to the people who are in the club, they can do what they want with no repercussions.

      Of course they don’t.

      The only news they care about talking of is:

      PEOPLE ARE EXPLOITED! PEOPLE HAVE NO SUSTAINABLE INCOMES! LET’S TALK ABOUT TRUMP FOR A BIT ALL WEEK, EVERY WEEK! OH NO! ANOTHER CHILD DEAD TODAY! OH NO! AN ACTOR EVERYONE LOVED DIED TODAY! THE WEATHER IS BAD! RECORD LEVELS!

      But anything other than that cycle of bullshit and more, can’t talk about that. Them media mongul overlords will crack the whips again! Can’t have that!

    She visibly flinches when he mentions private equity. Its like the news station has repeat training classes for employees on banned topics.

    All of the executives now probably frothing at the mouth over it.

    “How dare…how dare he blame us!”
