I stayed in an Airbnb in Bangkok and in the middle of the night we found a guy under the bed. Airbnb was kind enough to refund us the replacement fee of the key we took with us as …

Absolutely. In fact, inflation may be the strategy of choice to get the US out of its debt crisis. Ruling class is totally fine with inflation, because it allows them to raise wage…

Fair point. This housing boom is largely caused by wealthy investors bidding up the price of single family homes, with AirBnb completely unrelated. There are also some urban-suburb…

I'll pushback against this point. I noticed that the popular discourse was all about unemployment benefits being the root cause of the labor shortage, when in reality the statistic…

I am the author and I appreciate your feedback. I actually wrote this piece to push back against the popular opinion that there’s a labor shortage due to “lazy people on unemployme…

I am the author, and my argument is in no means against rising wages. In fact, I think it’s about damn time that wages are rising. The $15/hr living wage movement has fought for th…

Well the business case as of late is that the global supply chain isn’t as resilient as previously believed, with all of the disruption seen during covid. Primarily with surgical m…

The real hill to die on is the private equity firms buying trailer parks, then extorting poor people who own trailers but not the land under them. Imagine having a 50 year old trai…

Ding ding ding, we have the answer. I was in Lake Tahoe recently and my relatives there were saying how I should move there because there’s so many well paying jobs available… but …
