mooby 02-05-2022, 12:38 PM I think the most equitable would be to have four divisions instead of two especially at youth and collegiate levels. I like the IAAF standards of requiring hormone levels of testosterone and estrogen to be at above below levels to compete professionally. That shouldn’t be done at high school levels though. My opinion is biological sex should determine your competitive division but that seems to be a lightening rod and I don’t care enough to argue in favor of that on a public platform.
+1 I agree with that. Also agree I don't want to face the backlash that would come with trying to argue in favor of that position lol.

Last year, investors bought nearly one in seven homes sold in America’s top metropolitan areas, the most in at least two decades, according to the realty company Redfin.
Those purchases come at a time when would-be buyers across the country are seeing wildly escalating prices, raising the question of what impact investors are having on prices for everyone else. Investors were even more aggressive in the final three months of the year, buying 15 percent of all homes that sold in the 40 markets.
Real estate investors can be large corporations, local companies or wealthy individuals, and they generally don’t live in the properties they are buying. Some look to flip homes to new buyers, while others rent them out.
The growing number of investor purchases has drawn increasing scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill, particularly as buyers target minority neighborhoods.
“One of the reasons housing prices have gotten so out of control, is that corporate America sensed an opportunity,” said Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) last week at a hearing of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, a panel he chairs.
Brown took direct aim at private equity firms and corporate landlords in particular.
“They bought up properties, they raised rents, they cut services, they priced out family home buyers, and they forced renters out of their homes,” he said.

SOMETHING has to be done about housing prices. Whether buying or renting. Great if youre the seller.
My little brother sold his townhome for more that it was worth to someone in NY who never saw it. I imagine its rental now. As someone who lives in a townhouse neighborhood, home owners are so much better than renters.
Old brother, conversely, bought a beach house in Delaware without seeing it. Just swooped in with DC metro money and bought it. hes not renting, just a nice beach house 3 hours away but imagine an older couple maybe looking to retire or young family looking to stay in Bethany Beach but they cant compete with rich people from DC throwing stupid money aorund.
Foreign investors and foreign companies .. should be limited in how much of the US they can buy. We are free market capitalists but dang.
I dont even want to know how much square footage of the US actually is owned by China govt or "people"

This whole post is the antithesis of "free market capitalist economy." In our free market capitalist economy everything has a price. Housing, healthcare, warfare, there is no industry which is immune to the free market.
I'll also take "why are millennials depressed" for 1000 Alex. We're told if we go to college and get a degree it will help us achieve our life goals - getting married, raising kids, buying a house to name 3. Meanwhile we instead get saddled with insane student loan debt, a housing market that we can't compete in and also have to juggle a shit recession/insane inflation every 10 years.
Rant aside this country is fucked. At least the trannies can't use their bathroom of choice though.

Donald Trump asks Vladimir Putin for a favor - dirt on Hunter (and Joe) Biden
WASHINGTON – Donald Trump wants a favor from Vladimir Putin.
Amid criticism of his high regard for the Russian president and accused war criminal, former president Trump used an interview this week to ask Putin to release any information he has on reports a Russian oligarch gave money a decade ago to a company co-founded by President Joe Biden's son Hunter.
"I would think Putin would know the answer to that," Trump said an interview on the "Just The News" television program. "I think he should release it. I think we should know that answer."
There is no evidence Hunter Biden engaged in illicit dealings with Russia. He is reportedly under investigation by the Justice Department over taxes in connection with business operations in China; the president's son has also been criticized by Trump and others over his financial activity in Ukraine.

Washington — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday admonished Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina over claims he had watched members of Congress use drugs and was invited to an "orgy."
McCarthy told reporters on Capitol Hill that he told Cawthorn during a private meeting that the first-term congressman "lost my trust," and the allegations Cawthorn had made during a podcast interview last week were "exaggerated," according to Axios.
"It's just frustration. There's no evidence behind his statements," McCarthy said, according to reports, adding, "I told him you can't make statements like that, as a member of Congress, that affects everybody else and the country as a whole."
The GOP leader said Cawthorn's comments upset many lawmakers, and he warned Cawthorn could face consequences for what McCarthy said are "unacceptable" remarks." McCarthy also told reporters that Cawthorn acknowledged some of his claims were "exaggerated."
"In the interview, he claims he watched people do cocaine. Then when he comes in he tells me — he says he thinks he saw maybe a staffer in a parking garage from 100 yards away," McCarthy told reporters.

I think we can all agree that Madison Cawthorn needs to go.
I get that he wants to be a sensationalist and beat the 'DC is a cess pool of perversion" to appeal to evangelicals ... but fucking A man.
dude sucks

The Republican party is allowing Boebert, Greene, and this guy to act like they are on some sort of MTV show.
It's just weird. Hopefully they all lose re-election.
If I was elected to Congress tomorrow, I'd be one of, if not the most conservative person there, but I wouldn't act like a fucking clown. You can be conservative, and a large chunk of the media will give you shit for your policies, but they wouldn't be able to give legitimate shit about your behavior. Those 3 are cartoon caricatures of adults.

'Can't you just shoot them?': Former defense secretary says Trump wanted violence against Floyd protesters.
President Donald Trump wanted U.S. troops to shoot protesters during racial justice demonstrations in 2020, according to a new book from former Defense Secretary Mark Esper.
“Can't you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?” Esper quotes Trump saying. The then president allegedly made the remark as protesters descended on Washington, D.C., following the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, by a Minneapolis police officer. The quote was first reported by Axios.
