One must understand that all the economies are interconnected. We have a weak real estate market not because we are broke, although that plays a crucial part and it will come without reforms in government and weaponizing our own economy (in such a way it is not obvious, alas, it will likely never happen because of government corruption).
So what is the other part? That would be the big box, internetification of our economy. As the ability to rely upon local, long term employment evaporates with the destruction of the corner store/tool shop/business economy people must be increasingly able to move with the work. Worse still, knowing that the government is doing nothing to protect them from a Chinese economy that has been weaponized to take advantage of the change in the US economy, they also have less certainty of long term steady income necessary to maintain a home ownership type economy so even a fluid real estate sales market cannot solve this problem.
Obviously with draconian changes to how our economy operates, we can reestablish much of what we need in order to survive economically on a long term, but the chances of that happening given the increasingly corrupted, pandering, special interest oriented government it is unlikely.
Even were we to consider the types of changes necessary, how likely is it that long term-medium-short term intelligence analysis would be applied to the laws in question. We have seen in earlier entries that the failure to do this (and it should be part of the proposed lottery house to see that a non-political analysis take place, not with the existing houses of government) led to allowing certain recent past presidents to commit us to wars which even a high school history education would have shown us to be ruinous. The fact that we went to war with a leadership that had no idea what the enemy was or what the "liberated" mob would want is even more ludicrous, but perhaps we should save that for a later entry. It is, perhaps a difficult analysis that would find any war reasonable under the short-medium-long analysis but a non-partisan view of this might lead us to the conclusion that given the rise of us to power is a result of some of the dumbest wars we ever engaged in (we fought to maintain slavery?) that war might make sense on some level. Again the idea of a lottery house to allow prosecution of congressmen and to oversee the non-partisan intelligence analysis of laws might help in this regard.
But now on to lighter matters.
