As Chinese officials say, "Houses are for living, not for speculation".
But Wall Street sees real estate as a speculative asset to get rich. So when housing becomes more affordable for average working people, US investors complain the "gains" (for rich landlords) were erased.
@BradChilling@BusinessTechSA If you think the reason for our collapsing public healthcare is immigrants, you've been played. The reason is austerity but immigrants are an easy scape goat.
@alqalm2_@politicaleconZA He’s gone quiet… totally a CIA asset. Makes sense too: a CIA asset paid to call out other leftists as being CIA assets. Classic bait and switch tactic. Going with my gut and vibes on this one, as it’s the best way to prove what’s true.
@Martin_ASFL Dude, stop being dim… most Middle East war: iraq, Iran, Afghan was on behalf of private military contractors, arm manufacturers, oil companies and the opium trade. As capitalist as it gets!
@Martin_ASFL Ask yourself this: why hasn’t the US done this to Saudi Arabia who’s government is even more tyrannical. If you think the US is doing this because they care oh so much about the people of Iran , then you are incredibly naive.
@Martin_ASFL Were the 150 girls that Trump bombed ‘enemies of freedom’? Did it guarantee people freedom when Trump blew up that oil facility, shrouding Tehran in black smoke and acid rain that will almost certainly cause cancer or Gulf War syndrome? Freedom? Yeah, right.
