Hey @Grok, can you teach a Fox News viewer the War Powers Resolution of 1973, the 60 and 90 day requirement, and if Trump or Hegseth have violated that aspect of the law, or is he a lost cause?
@VehementMaybe@dygytylace@DOWResponse@SecWar Do you think if an authority, Congress in this case, takes no legal action that it means nothing illegal happened? Practically, it does, but that’s not what are talking about, are we?
@1SCStarRED@LifeNewsHQ Thank goodness that we live in America where women don’t die except for the ones on Reddit and Bluesky. Those women really have it difficult! 😥
If you mean this and it's not just political maneuvering, the thing to do is resign and start building a new Republican Party. With @RepThomasMassie and @mtgreenee and @TuckerCarlson and @joekent16jan19 and all the other actual pro-America leaders who were pushed aside by Trump and his sycophants.
Tonight’s outcome isn’t about placing faith in Democrats or socialist principles; it’s about holding Republicans accountable for betraying their promises.
All Republicans had to do was:
1. put Americans First
2. not start another war
3. prosecute sex traffickers
In 2020, Argentina introduced strict rent controls to "protect" tenants. The policy mandated three-year minimum leases and restricted rent increases to an official index combining inflation and wage growth.
The results were... catastrophic.
Facing hyperinflation, landlords found that the government-capped rents quickly lost all real value. To avoid massive financial losses, property owners pulled thousands of apartments off the market. Many chose to leave units empty, list them exclusively on short-term holiday platforms, or sell them. By late 2023, rental supply in Buenos Aires dropped to near-zero, forcing remaining tenants into a brutal black market where landlords demanded under-the-counter payments in US dollars.
Everything shifted in December 2023 when President Javier Milei abolished the rent control law via an emergency decree, completely deregulating the market. Under the new rules, landlords and tenants were free to negotiate lease lengths, pricing, and currency choices.
The impact was immediate and dramatic. Driven by newfound legal certainty, landlords rushed back to the market. Within months, the supply of available rental properties in Buenos Aires surged by over 150%. While initial asking prices remained high due to broader economic inflation, the massive influx of housing supply quickly forced landlords to compete. In real, inflation-adjusted terms, average rental prices in Buenos Aires actually dropped by roughly 20% to 30% through 2024
Rent controls is a policy that can almost unite economist in opposition. Time and again, is proves to decimate supply and sabotage, rather than help, renters. Luckily, as Buenos Aires demonstrates, the damage can be repaired: removing artificial price ceilings can rapidly fix a choked housing market.
