Would love to see individual US states pass decrees saying something to the effect of: “We will not allow our residents to be punished for failure to pay Federal income tax.” It’s tax revolt time.

This is a great counter to the very popular, socialist nonsense about banning private equity from buying homes. The only thing I disagree with from Bob is when he says that the houses are bought solely to be sold at a later date for a profit (or rented out), as he says from 9m-16m. I’d argue instead that their primary use (or at the very least an under-appreciated use) is as *collateral* to speculative attack and accrue Cantillon effect profits ad infinitum. That’s the reason why they’d buy and not sell. That being said, I have no “should” statement here, like the popular left and right: “the government should ban private equity from buying homes.” No, that’s socialist nonsense. The only insight I have is that we effectively have is a potential short squeeze on houses. Bitcoin can trigger that squeeze by more people putting their cash balances / long term savings into Bitcoin instead of houses. Then we rug the banks when we start to get some turncoats, then buy the houses near their utility value. They’re choosing a poor money (houses) to leverage an even poorer money (fiat), while we’re choosing perfect money. I wonder who will win. P.S. If you really cared about this issue, what you’d be calling for is a repeal of the Fed’s charter, something well within the power of Congress, which would destroy the socialist banking cartel that facilitates the nonsensical monetization of these houses.

It might sound callous and would hurt in the short term, but the sooner you experience debanking and deplatforming incidents, the better.
