  • billionaires are tired of paying settlements for mistresses/rapes/etc and allowing legal cases to split up dynastic wealth. Billionaires want what they always want: more control over money.

    They’re not banning anything over birth rates - if they cared about birth rates/population nonsense they’d give people more paid holidays and reduce work related accidents etc. You pass laws to control women so you have more control over women.

    Every US policy from housing to labor to pollution to education, etc is practically designed to decrease birth rates and the billionaires kick and scream when those laws are not being made more oppressive.

    They mask it as concern over “birth rates” because they know its a public concern. To elon musk “birth rates” is is catnip to his hard right audience the same way “humans on mars” was catnip for tech bro enthusiasts with wifi dick cages.










  • Air BnB effectively pitted average renters and homeowners against the luxury hotel market. From a supply/demand standpoint its basically moving something like 10% of the rental market to the hotel market.

    What this does is it means luxury long term rentals slot out the next lower tier of housing at higher pricing it slides down the economic ladder until a percent of people at the bottom is simply outbid for the reduced normal rental housing stock.

    Its not airbnb’s fault the market shifted but it is a problem with the market as a result of blending the luxury hotel market with residential housing.
