Chinese nationals buying up property on the west coast is a serious problem. Not so much in Florida.

-No foreign nationals allowed to buy or own housing
-No corporations allowed to own SFRs / housing

What about foreign nationals with a permanent residence visa? Valid work visa?

Wesleyan University Ends Legacy Admissions
With the Supreme Court’s decision to ban race-conscious admissions, the pressure is on selective colleges to end preferences for children of alumni.
One could still point out that since ending legacy admissions has not been declared unconstitutional, the practice could be reinstated when the smoke clears, especially when the donation bag gets lighter.

Will be interesting to see how this develops. Way too many ways to still ensure that legacies are admitted.

Not a great month for my son. First he loses AA and now whatever foothold my parents and I had in the doorway is gone, too.
Good thing institutional racism isn’t real or he might be screwed.

If any problem concerning housing doesn't begin with reforming zoning laws and building more housing, then it is not a serious proposal
Other things might help too, and we should do that too.
But Chinese nationals buying into US real estate is:
From the right, just mostly just about racism and xenophobia
From the left, a way to avoid talking about the major issues really driving up housing prices
If America and Canada and a better approach to housing, foreign nationals, corporations, and real estate investors, would not see these homes at an attractive investment.

Yes, but if we're smart, we let them keep buying houses at inflated prices, and then all of a sudden remove all zoning laws and build a bunch of new homes and watch their investments lose all value.
all part of the plan.

What they accuse China of attempting surreptitiously through film, they do in broad daylight for textbooks:
Her past support of Trump has done seemingly irrecoverable damage to people’s perception of her.

MTG Greene showed images from Hunter Biden 's sex tape at a House hearing with the IRS today
They are kinda censored, but explicit enough where I don't feel comfortable posting them in here
This woman is loony as ****

Well, we know she's bat**** crazy. And we also know the word "Decorum" is a lost word with her and her party!
I'm honestly surprised they even allowed it, given the subject matter.

That's what happens when the "speaker" of the House gets pressed and let's Marge run the party in broad daylight. She makes the rules and decides what's allowed for their party. Embarrassing from Spineless Kev.Well, we know she's bat**** crazy. And we also know the word "Decorum" is a lost word with her and her party!

Saw the poster she put up. Hunter needs to sue her.
