That was NIMBYs. Worry about real economic constraints.
You live in one of the richest countries in the world and probably make 4x median income even for the US anyway. Move somewhere else if you want your money to go further.
- greatpostman 4y agoNope it’s from cheap money
- zamfi 4y agoIt takes two: demand provided by cheap money, and supply capped by NIMBY zoning. Neither alone is enough.
- hahaxdxd123 4y agoThat's why with all this cheap money, computers are more expensive than ever!

- astrange 4y agoIs "international market" like "cosmopolitan Rothschild bankers"? _We're_ the financial and IP rights imperialists! If anyone's buying any countries on international markets it's us.
- the_optimist 4y agoHow exactly would we be buying other countries with the annual $T trade deficit? No, you have the actual numbers reversed.
- astrange 4y agoThat's how the financial empire works. It's free stuff at the casino to keep them coming back. Sure they take the USD we print for them, but then what are they going to do with it? Keep it in US bank accounts.
- the_optimist 4y agoIf we net sell equity, borrow, and debase our currency, this is not “financial empire.” This is the reverse of financial empire. There is no “free stuff” and no “keep them coming back.” We are simultaneously depleting equity through IP, physical capacity and capabilities, and direct sales.
- astrange 4y agoEquity, currency, that's all stuff we made up. Accepting them as real means using our courts and banking system.
