    Yes, #speculation is a #fiat issue stemming from corrupt #moneyPrinting + #rentseekers.

    Say "#nimbyism" to small towns in #Europe that are still close to their #farmland and still have a defendable #culture. If being a #NIMBY is about a short #farmToPlate distance maybe we need more of it, not less.

    Vertical sprawl = delayed #urbanSprawl, just wait a generation.

    We don't have democratically elected #leaders, we have a #corporateState.

    It seems that people who just want to ensure decent #housing today are, at every opportunity (ie. opportunistically), out-competed by #rentseekers that pile multiple #dwellings on a block with no #restorative, private outdoor space.

    Our #Australian govt and #legacyMedia have been active #perpetrators of this #sociopathy

    It needs to stop. We thought covid would bring these issues into focus but they are doubling-down on #distraction as they #printMoney for themselves.

    @seasharp
    Too big to exist.

    We've been calling to fix the ship years before we even started this #FairGo movement, the intention was to end growth in the consumption of resources and energy explicitly so we don't have the issues and collapse that we are seeing today.

    But no, #rentseekers like #jeffBezos kept #extendingAndPretending and punching down on people like us, labelling us as #racist etc.

    Many ppl do not know who they are paying #economicRents too, and importantly why.

    It may as well be #aMafia.

    There are a host of #grifters that just need to '#stop', and we mean that in many senses of the word — its not even funny.

    Most are having their #IQ lowered now. The #magnaCarta or even just understanding #local affairs is getting out of reach.

  5. This week #MaxKeiser made an interesting point about #Australia's #hotelQuarantine system.

    Australia has an extreme number of outrageous #financialProducts designed to prop up #rentseekers and #bankers at the expense of #savers. Rather than taper markets w lower #moneyPrinting or raising #interestRates he posits #hotelQuarantine is used to remove people from the economy.

    It may sound conspiratorial, but judging by #building proposals we see a growing weaponisation of #COVID and #mentalHealth.

    There are laws against #violence, we don't need #corporatists, CEOs, #politicalDonors to both major parties protected by some #hateSpeek law - that will generally protect them from real and needed critique.

    They are trying to enact it, saying it can be used to protect one group but make no mistake it will be used against the #proletariat.

    What's really egregious are the #kleptocrats and #sophists the #CorporateState chose to head the report — individuals that got us into this mess!

    See #InnesWillox, shill for glorified #PropertyDevelopers (we mean #universites), the #MigrationCouncil and other #speculators and #rentseekers. Two years ago, he was all too happy to make us vulnerable.

    Four Corners did a good job of highlighting others on the "commission".

    Well done, Four Corners! Maybe, the last #journalists in Australia.

    You'd have thought that post-COVID, govts would know better than to indulge the #gentrifiers, #rentSeekers, and #speculators, but no.

    At least in #Australia the #oligarchs are marching ahead with their destructive, #highrise third-worldisation process.

    Most so-called leaders in this country are rentSeekers themselves or sychophants to their #corporateDonors.

    There are going to be bad apples in any bunch. We cannot single out #environmentalists any more than #religiousGroups that believe when people die, that's Gods way. Or #capitalists who believe that the 99% don't work hard enough. Or #slavetrade operators, #rentSeekers and rabid #shareholders who want to suck all the #productiveValue from the masses while paying them a pittance and #evadingTaxes that might help pay for #publicGoods like #healthcare.

    The bad exist...(2/4)
