hedge funds have been gobbling up huge numbers of houses. why sell to a millennial when you're (like my boomer parents) getting regularly cold-called by buyers willing to show up that day and pay in cash? (and pay well.) the buyer, small- and mid-level speculators, can then flip the house to a hedge fund.

and get this: the funds are now bundling rental payments and selling them as securities -- rental-backed securities instead of mortgage-backed securities.

so what are safe jobs to have during a depression? I’m guessing there is always a market for police/firemen/the military (although a few will probably lose their jobs). Some people will have babies and vaginas so I’m guessing OB/Gyns are safe too... anything else?

I wonder if the reason no one wants to invest in infrastructure is that that massive work program will put so many people building things that the fossil fuel consumption will tip the balance and turn the planet into a Venus hellworld.

Japan was justified in attacking USA in response to economic blockades intended to starve them to death

Digiwizzard posted:

the nuclear attacks on Japan were barbarous acts of cruelty primarily designed to intimidate the USSR.

Japan in 1944 was an island nation so overextended by it's stupid wars that it was forcing conscripts to crash it's last remaining planes into the nearest boat in autophagic desperation.

the premise that it was "necessary" to vaporize a couple hundred thousand civilians with experimental weapons to stop this irrepressible juggernaut is propaganda that beguiles idiots to this day.
