The cost of affordable housing: Does it pencil out? There is not enough affordable housing in the United States. For every 100 extremely low income households, there are only 29 adequate, affordable, and available rental units. That means two parents who both work minimum-wage jobs might wait years to find a safe, affordable place to live with their two kids. https://apps.urban.org/features/cost-of-affordable-housing/ Rising Construction Costs' Affordable Housing Impacts Despite the shortage of affordable housing units nationwide, many developers are working hard to create new units in heavily undersupplied markets. However, rises in construction costs have made the situation difficult for many contractors: The Associated General Contractors of America pegged increases at 21.4% from March 2021 to March 2022. And that figure excludes increases to labor costs, owing to a severe labor shortage in the construction industry. https://www.hud.loans/hud-loans-blog/2022/4/28/rising-construction-costs-affordable-housing-impacts Should Government Build and Finance Affordable Housing? “Supply-side” solutions like public housing and LIHTC may seem good on paper, but are flawed in practice https://catalyst.independent.org/2020/10/31/government-affordable-housing/ Switzerland Considers Banning Electric Vehicle Use Amid Energy Crisis Facing an energy crisis this winter, Switzerland has developed a four-step plan to curb blackouts that includes banning the use of electric vehicles for non-essential trips. Since the country relies on imports during the winter months from countries that are facing energy shortfalls of their own, Switzerland developed an emergency response plan to address the risk of blackout that includes two tiers—emergency and crisis—with levels of restrictions within each.  https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2022/12/05/switzerland-evs-n2616731 El Salvador deploys thousands of troops to combat gangs El Salvador President Nayib Bukele has deployed 10,000 security forces to confront the threat from gangs in a suburb of the capital, San Salvador.

In other words every time you put money in your bank account, you are giving the bank an interest free loan! Can you imagine these massively rich organisations ever doing the same for you? No – that is why the bank is rich and we are not. The fact is many of these banks do not have the money in their vaults that we put there. They have spent it into investments and bonds and other things that at any time can go bad which means they can never pay back all their small depositors (fools like me and you) should they ever need to – that friends is a legal ponzy scheme. https://www.101christianmagazine.com/banks-just-ponzi-schemes/ 25 Fast Facts About The Federal Reserve: “Biggest Ponzi Scheme in World History” Since 1935, the following seal appears on the reverse side of every $1 dollar Federal Reserve Note: Annuit Coeptis and Novus Ordo Seclorum, which translates to “Providence Favors our Undertakings” and “New Order of the Ages” As we are in the midst of a historic economic crisis, it’s imperative that the American people understand that the Fed is largely responsible for these problems. It is a system of money that was created by the bankers and that operates for the benefit of the bankers.
