This is so crucial—Never before, any time in US history, have so many single family homes been owned by real estate trusts, banks, hedge funds, and property companies. Turns working families into lifetime renters when a generation ago the same kinds of people were building equity

In all the left (dsa) and right (yimby) discourse on social housing, I don’t see any discussion of the ongoing privatization of millions of units of existing public housing, except to frame it past tense as a failure. The yimby version is essentially an upward distributed RAD. twitter.com/jackson_gandou…

lol, no. I've tried day trading on the side, in addition to my real *paying* work as a rideshare driver; nothing to write home about. I still want to get those BIG firms out of the home market; happy to not trade at all once elected—Millionaires can't represent regular people.

lolol, I don't do HFT; that's a game for the machines now. Another swing and a miss, princeling. If you'd hired me ten years ago, I might be as jaded as you, but you didn't, and I'm not. I stand with the People, not the venture capitalists.

Yea that’s me, it’s linked directly in my profile. I don’t hide my past, the free lunches, the scholarship and menial work. “Princeling” is reserved for people that inherited wealth, do you qualify? Zipline is medical supply delivery, not HFT—that’s your world.

Oh, THAT zipline. With the drone planes right? It's a cool concept. Knew a guy who worked there—at Facebook now. Unfathomably wealthy. Might be a full Prince at this point. My point isn't to tear you down; it's just to point out that we inhabit such different worlds that it's...
