Scathing report by US Capitol Police reveals there were even more law enforcement failures prior to January 6 than previously known, including previously unreported warning about a map of the Capitol's underground tunnels posted on a pro-Trump site
Yet another report screaming this was an INSIDE JOB!.

This Treasonous coup attempt was an INSIDE JOB as more evidence continues to build:
"17 requests for backup in 78 minutes A reconstruction shows how failures of planning and preparation left police at the Capitol severely disadvantaged on Jan. 6"

Lots of happenings in Residential Real Estate. But be careful not to get caught up focusing on the wrong things -- no, it's not about inflation or NIMBY or PE rentals.

Let's go thru some of the things that matter far less, beginning with prices.
What matters most are not the price paid, but the monthly carrying costs. This is why low rates have a big impact, and tend to send prices higher.
Try to avoid chart/statistics crimes, like focusing on Year-over-year data from the pandemic lows. Ignorance? Bias? Fraud? I don't, but avoid this kind of garbage.
That is the track record the "Inflationistas" have amassed in predicting Inflation, Deflation, Disinflation - really ANY "Flation - so far in the 21st century.

How can any economist have missed 3 decades of deflation?
Automation, global labor arbitrage, digitalization + outsourcing/offshoring all have worked to drive global prices lower.
