Mortgage lending is central to the financial system: Housing accounts for over 70 percent of household debt, and housing finance plays a central role in financial instability. Conversely, residential construction is the economic sector most sensitive to financial conditions, and to monetary policy in particular. So the shrinking weight of housing in the economy may be a factor in the Federal Reserve’s inability to restore growth and full employment after the crisis. Looking forward, if conventional monetary policy works primarily through residential construction, and residential construction is a permanently smaller part of the economy, that is another argument for broadening the Fed’s toolkit.

Housing construction may be down for the count, at least compared with historical levels. But — and this is the second trend – it is not down across the board. The recent decline is limited to single family housing. Multifamily construction has been quite strong, at least by the standards of the post-1990 period. Compared with the two decades before 2007, single-unit housing starts in the past year are down by a third. Multifamily starts are up by a third. Per capita multifamily housing starts are actually higher than they were at the height of the housing boom.

These divergent trends imply a major shift in the composition of new housing. Through much of the 1990s, less than 10 percent of new housing was in multifamily projects. Today, the share is more like 30 percent. This is a dramatic change in the mix of housing being added, a shift change visible across much of the country in the form of suddenly-ubiquitous six-story woodframe apartment buildings [note: this is an excellent article that you should absolutely click through and read]. The most recent housing data released suggests that, if anything, this trend is still gathering steam: A full third of new housing in June was in multifamily buildings, an even higher proportion than we’ve seen in recent years. In the areas that the Census designates as metropolitan cores, the shift is even more dramatic, with the majority of new housing units now found in multifamily buildings....

This shift is important for politics as well as the economy. Tenant organizations were once an important vehicle for mass politics in American cities. In the progressive imagination of a century ago, workers were squeezed from one side by landlords and high rents just as they were squeezed from the other by bosses and low wages.

After World War II, the focus of housing politics shifted away from tenants’ rights, and toward broadening access to home ownership. This shift reflected a genuine expansion of homeownership to middle class and working class families, thanks to a range of public supports — supports, it should be noted, from from which African-Americans were largely excluded. But it also reflected a larger vision of democratic politics in terms of a world of small property owners. Homeowners were expected — not without reason — to be more conservative, more ready to imagine themselves on the side of property owners in general. As William Levitt, developer of the iconic Long Island suburb, is supposed to have said: “No man who owns his own house and lot can be a communist.”

The idea of a property-owning democracy has deep roots in the American political imagination, and can be part of a progressive vision as well as a conservative one. Baby bonds – an endowment or grant given to everyone at the start of their life — are supposed to be a way to broaden property ownership in a way that opens up rather than shuts down possibilities for radical change. Here for example is Derrick Hamilton in his 2018 TED Talk. “Wealth,” he says,

is the paramount indicator of economic security and well-being. It provides financial agency, economic security… We use words like choice, freedom to describe the benefits of the market, but it is literally wealth that gives us choice, freedom and optionality. Wealthier families are better positioned to finance an elite, independent school and college education, access capital to start a business, finance expensive medical procedures, reside in neighborhoods with higher amenities… Basically, when it comes to economic security, wealth is both the beginning and the end.

Descriptively, its’s hard to disagree. And with homes by far the most important form of middle-class wealth, policies to promote homeownership have been supported on exactly these grounds. Homeowners enjoy more security, stability, a cushion against financial setbacks, and the ability to pass their social position on to their children. The policy problem, from this point of view, is simply to ensure that everyone gets to enjoy these benefits.

One way to keep people secure in their homes is to allow more people to own them. This has been the focus of US housing policy for most of the past century. But another way is to give tenants more of the protections that only homeowners currently enjoy. Outside a few major cities, renting has been assumed to be a transitory stage in the lifecycle, so there was little reason to worry about security of tenure for renters. A few years ago I was a guest on a radio show on rent control, and I suggested that apart from affordability, an important goal of rent regulation was to protect people’s right to remain in their homes. The host was genuinely startled: “I’ve never heard someone say that a person has the right to remain in their home whether they own it or not.”

There are still plenty of people who see the decline in homeownership as a problem to be solved. But the shift in the housing stock toward multifamily units suggests that the trend toward increased renting is unlikely to be reversed any time soon. (And even many single-family homes are now owned by investors.) The experience of the past 15 years suggests that, in any case, home ownership offers less security than we used to think.

If more and more Americans remain renters through their adult lives, the relationship with the landlords may again approach the relationship with the employer in political salience. Strengthening protections for tenants may again be the basis of political mobilization. And people may become more open to the idea that living in a place, whether or not you own it, gives you a moral claim on it — as beautifully dramatized, for example, in the 2019 movie The Last Black Man in San Francisco.

We may already be seeing this shift in the political sphere. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of support for rent regulation. A ballot measure for statewide rent control failed in California, but various bills to extend or strengthen local rent regulation have gotten significant support. Oregon recently passed the nation’s first statewide rent control measure. And in New York, Governor Cuomo signed into law a sweeping bill strengthening rent regulation where it already exists — mainly New York City – and opening the way for municipalities around the state to pass their own rent regulations.

The revival of rent regulation reflects, in the first instance, political conditions – in New York, years of dogged organizing work by grassroots coalitions, as well as the primary defeats of most of the so-called Independent Democratic Conference, nominal Democrats who caucused with Republicans and gave them control of the State Senate. But it is not diminishing the hard work by rent-regulation supporters to suggest that the housing-market shift toward rentals made the terrain more favorable for them. When nearly half the population are renters, as in New York State, there is likely to be more support for rent regulation. The same dynamic no doubt played a role in the opposition to Amazon’s new headquarters in Queens: For most residents, higher property values meant higher rents, not windfall gains.

The Fastest Way To Build The Wall In 2019

The Fastest Way To Build The Wall In 2019 The fastest way to build the wall and promote my bleak outlook for 2019 is to seek-out factual information that confirms my biases. I’d encourage people to read Upton Sinclair’s the Jungle to illustrate the news media’s birth through mercantilism and yellow journalism. This early playbook of blatant lies and omissions are being reenacted today by Donald Trump and his administration’s muckraking, while the 50 articles I’ve written on LinkedIn to encourage self reliance and mobilization go mostly unread. Could this be the reason why so many well intentioned individuals who oppose the Trump administration opt for the road of least resistance?

Media

Before the printing press was invented, word of mouth was the primary source of news. Returning merchants, sailors and travelers brought news back to the mainland, and this was then picked up by peddlers and traveling merchants and spread from town to town. This transmission of news was highly unreliable, and died out with the invention of the printing press. By 1400, businessmen in Italian and German cities were compiling hand written chronicles of important news events, and circulating them to their business connections. The idea of using a printing press for this material first appeared in Germany around 1600. Magazines flourished after Napoleon left in 1815. Most were based in Paris and most emphasized literature, poetry and stories. They served religious, cultural and political communities. In times of political crisis they expressed and helped shape the views of their readership and thereby were major elements in the changing political culture. Theodore Roosevelt coined the term "muckraker" during a speech in 1906. He compared investigative reporters to the narrow-minded figure in John Bunyan's 17th-century religious fable, "The Pilgrim's Progress": the "man that could look no way but downwards, with a muckrake in his hand.” To others during the Progressive Era the term muckraker characterized reform-minded American journalists who attacked established institutions and leaders as corrupt. They typically had large audiences in some popular magazines. Yellow journalism or press presents little or no legitimate well-researched news while instead using eye-catching headlines for increased sales. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism.

Mercantilism

Mercantilism is the economic theory that holds that the prosperity of a nation depends upon its supply of capital, and that the global trade is unchangeable. Capital is held by the state, is increased through balance of trade. Overall, they encourage exports and discourage imports, with the use of tariffs.

The 99%

Most people have an intuitive model of cooperative behavior that stems from two linked fears, one of being taken advantage of and another of under producing for lack of opportunities. Creating a way, a path, for us to work with citizens and government in a format that eliminates the ingrained fears by understanding both supply and demand is the primary goal. On the demand side, the commons situation encourages a race to the bottom by overuse—what economists call a congested–public-good problem. On the supply side, the commons rewards free-rider behavior—removing or diminishing incentives for individual actors to invest in developing more output.The tragedy of the commons predicts only three possible outcomes. One is the sea of mud. Another is for some actor with coercive power to enforce an allocation policy on behalf of the village (the socialist/communist solution). The third is for the commons to break up as village members, fence-off bits they can defend and manage sustainably.

Building The Wall

2018 witnessed 3 government shutdowns. Currently, the President Of The United States forced the government to shutdown insisting we build a wall on the Mexico - US boarder. The support for the wall is another example of the tragedy of the commons whereas the demand for undocumented workers in certain industries in the U.S. creates incentive for others to cross the boarder which has led to the increase in illegal residents in the United States. On the supply side, many Americans don’t know what to study in college, because no one knows what skills learned at 20 will be relevant at 40. The number of these useless individual increases, not through chance but by definition diminishing incentives for this group to invest in developing additional skills in higher demand or outperforming undocumented workers in low skill work. Put another way, the fastest way Americans can build the wall is by outperforming undocumented workers in low skill industries. This will discourage others looking for work from crossing the Mexican border. Past Democratic or Republican administration’s inability to address this is partly to blame for the immigration mess we have today.

The way things are

In the real world, we are not all equal and Donald Trump is the President of The United States. Access to most opportunities are subsidized by access to wealth. This is followed by how much of the sciences, engineering, technology, management and skills of labor an individual possesses coinciding with an individual's ability to learn, understand and articulate effectively these areas of study. The fourth and final step is to make the application and utilize our aptitude and abilities on things within our power. It’s also very common for people to change the narrative they tell themselves regarding economic philosophies based upon experiences, education and self interest during their lifetime. Unfortunately, there is a serious shortage of super beings in America.

The way things should be

Instead of mimicking Donald Trump’s non-virtuous approach, we should seek to make open-source cooperation sustainable similar to what happens with software programs. Part of the answer certainly lies in the fact that using software does not decrease its value. Indeed, widespread use of open-source software tends to increase its value, as users fold in their own fixes and features (code patches). In this inverse commons, the grass grows taller when it's grazed upon.That this public good cannot be degraded by overuse takes care of half of the congested–public-goods problem. It doesn't explain why open source doesn't suffer from under provision. Why don't people who know the open-source community exists universally exhibit free-rider behavior, waiting for others to do the work they need, or (if they do the work themselves) not bothering to contribute the work back into the commons?Part of the answer lies in the fact that people don't merely need solutions, they need solutions on time. It's seldom possible to predict when someone else will finish a given piece of needed work. If the payoff from fixing a bug or adding a feature is sufficient to any potential contributor, that person will dive in and do it (at which point the fact that everyone else is a free rider becomes irrelevant).Another part of the answer lies in the fact that the putative market value of small patches to a common source base is hard to capture. Being reactive by only sitting on the patch gains nothing. Indeed, it incurs a future cost—the effort involved in re-merging the patch into the source base in each new release. So the payoff from this choice is actually negative. Suppose I wrote an article that encourages people to think and the readers find it easily accessible , and suppose many readers realize my article has a monetary value; how do I collect from all those people? We all can win if we see money for what it really is, a social construct that promotes exchange through trust. To put it more positively, by writing this article I gain from the reader’s input and potential input from different groups. I also gain because others will improve on my work in the future.

The road of least resistance

We should enable Americans to form habitual ways to meet certain needs or solve day-to-day problems instead of reading distracting tweets from the President. Tell yourself, “greatness is the perception that virtue is enough”. Unfortunately, the common person often lacks virtue, instead we avoid looking within ourselves to make self-improvements to increase our value in the free market. The weakest rebuttal to what I propose is that no market is absolutely free; a frail objection since all things exists in the margins. I advocate for capitalism by arguing the economic pendulum should swing more in the direction of the free market in order to promote a better quality of life for the masses. Ideally, we could balance our lives, with clearly defined goals and a realistic understanding of outcome. Put another way, individuals must know and understand the probability and effectiveness of their actions in order to reach their goals. I think we need to be both constructively skeptical and virtuous while helping those in need. Since gauging need is subjective, it opens up the door for misinterpretation and disagreement regarding distribution. How do we qualify, quantify and communicate an individual’s need? Who’s the agent of interpretation? These are 5 beliefs of the current administration I disagree with that should be avoided:

1. Citizens and government want different things.

2. Technique counts more than intent.

3. Solutions have inherent value (one size fits all)

4. Donald Trump ignores Methodology

5. World - class advocacy precedes world - class Inquiry (talking before listening) or a misinformed will to power approach.

Reversing these five key beliefs set the groundwork for a process that allows government to deal with undocumented workers and citizens in an honest, straightforward manner where we can discover all issues and needs, gather the hard information needed to create solutions that puts our country’s sustainability above all else. This can be done without wasting time and resources by avoiding redundancies by utilizing available (unbiased) data.

Impressive Ideas to Handle your Phone

It truly is harder to change out your smartphone's lithium ion battery as it would be to take care of it right in the first location. Many smartphones do not provide easy consumer access for their batteries. Including all I phones and many flagship Android telephones from makers like Samsung. Certified battery replacements could be expensive or inconvenient (try getting an official battery replacement unit in an Apple Store this season ). There are also ecological factors. Smart phones are, honestly, an environmental crisis and boosting the life span of your smartphone battery will help minimize that. Here are some steps you can take in order to preserve and expand the lifespan of your battery. By battery life I mean how many months and years your battery can last before it needs to be replaced. In contrast, battery life denotes the amount of hours or days that the mobile will probably last on a single recharge. For What Reason The Cell Phone Battery Goes Less than Perfect With every charge cycle your phone battery degrades slightly. A charge cycle is the complete release and control of the battery, from 0% to 100%. Partial charges count as a portion of a cycle. Charging your phone from 50% to 100 percent, for example, would be half an charge cycle. Do this two and it has the full fee cycle. Some phone owners go through a lot more than a full charge cycle every day, others proceed through less. It depends on how much you use your phone and what you can do with it. Battery pack makers express that after about 400 cycles a phone battery capacity will deteriorate by 20%. It will only have the ability to save 80 percent of their power it'd originally and will continue to hamper with added charge cycles. The reality, however, is that phone batteries almost certainly degrade faster than that. 1 on the web site asserts some mobiles realize that 20% degradation tip after merely 100 fee cycles. And just to be more clear, the phone battery doesn't stop degrading just after 400 periods. That 400 cycles/20% figure is always to give you a good idea of this rate of rust. In the event you can slow those charge cycles -- in case you can extend the battery lifetime of your mobile -- then you can prolong its battery life lifespan too. Basically, the less you drain and control the battery, the longer the battery can last. The problem is, you purchased your phone to utilize it. You have to balance saving battery life and lifespan with utility, with your phone and when you want it. Some of the guidelines underneath may not work for you. On the flip side, there might be things which you're able to put into practice fairly easily that do not matter your style. There are two overall types of recommendations right here. Strategies to get your smart phone even more energy efficient, delaying battery degradation by delaying those recharge cycles. Reducing screen brightness would be a typical instance of the type of suggestion. There are also hints to decrease stress and stress to your batterylife, affecting its life span more specifically. Reducing extremes of cold and heat are a typical example of this secondary option. Cautious with the Weather Condition Should your cellphone gets hot or cold it can breed the battery and lessen its life span. Leaving it into your automobile would most likely be the worst culprit, if it's hot and sunny outside or below freezing . Use the Fast Charger Only If Obligatory Charging your phone quickly worries the battery. Unless you really require it, steer clear of using fast recharging. In fact, the quicker you bill your battery the higher, if you do not mind slow charging immediately, go for it. Charging your mobile by your computer as well as certain smart plugs can limit the voltage going to your phone, slowing its charge rate. Some outside battery packs may impede down the rate of charging, but I am uncertain about that. Be Attentive about Cell phone Batteries Recharges Elderly kinds of rechargeable batteries also had'battery memory'. If you failed to bill them to full and release them to zero battery they'remembered' and reduced their useful variety. It was better due to their life span in the event that you always drained and charged the battery completely. Newer mobile batteries work in a different way. It stresses the battery to drain it completely or charge it completely. Portable batteries are happiest if you maintain them above 20 percent power and below 90 percent. To be exceptionally exact, they're happiest around 50% potential Short charges are likely nice, by the way, therefore if you are the type of person who finds frequently topping up your phone for quick charges, that is fine for your battery. Paying a lot of attention this one can be a lot of micromanagement. But when I owned my first smartphone I presumed battery memory applied so I generally drained it low and charged it to 100 percent. I understand more about the way the battery works, I usually plug it in before it gets below 20% and unplug it completely charged basically consider it. Keeping it In the 50% The most economical charge for a lithiumion battery appears to be roughly 50 percent. If you are likely to save your phone for a protracted duration, control it to 50% before turning it off and saving it. This is easier on the battery compared to charging it to 100 percent or letting it empty to 0 percent before firing. The battery, in addition, continues to degrade and release if the device is turned off and not used whatsoever. This generation of batteries was intended to be utilised. If you were to think about it, then turn the phone every several months and also top up the battery to 50%. How to Prolong My Mobile phone Battery Life

Every mobile phone's screen is your component that routinely employs the most batterylife. Slimming down the screen brightness will save energy. Utilizing Auto Brightness almost certainly saves battery for most people by automatically reducing display settings whenever there is less lighting, even though it can involve more work with the light sensor. The thing which would save the maximum battery inside this region would be to manage it manually and fairly obsessively. In other words, manually put it into the lowest visible level whenever there's a big change in ambient lighting degrees. Both Android and iOS give you options to ignore entire screen brightness even in case you are also using Auto Brightness. If you depart from your screen on without deploying it, then it'll automatically switch off after a time period, usually a couple of moments. You may conserve energy by decreasing the Screen Timeout period (called Auto-Lock on iPhones). By default, in my opinion iPhones place their AutoLock to two minutes, that might be more than you require. You may well be OK with 1 minute, and sometimes even 30 minutes. On the other hand, in case you lose auto-lock or screen time out you might find your screen dimming too quickly when you're at the midst of reading a news story or recipe, therefore that is a call you'll need to make. I utilize Tasker (an automation app) to improve the screen timeout in my Galaxy S7 based on what program I'm using. My default is a rather short screen timeout of 35 minutes, however for apps where I'm likely to be taking a look at the display without using itas news and note-taking apps, I expand this time out to over a minute. My smart phone, the Galaxy S7, has an OLED screen. To produce black it doesn't obstruct the back light having a pixel like some iPhones and a number of other types of LCD displays. Instead, it will not display anything in any way. The pixels displaying black simply do not start. This creates the comparison between colour and black very sharp and lovely. Additionally, it means that displaying black over the screen employs no energy, and also darker colours use less energy compared to vivid colors like white. Choosing a dark motif for the phone, if it's an OLED or even AMOLED monitor, can save energy. If your display doesn't have an OLED display -- and this comprises all iPhones ahead of the iPhone X , a dim motif won't create a difference. I uncovered a dark theme I enjoy in the Samsung store, also there are some outstanding complimentary icon package programs for Android out there that give attention to darker-themed icons. I use Cygnus Dark, Mellow Dark, Moonrise Icon Pack, and Moonshine. I use the Nova Launcher App to customize the look of app icons and often remove the name of the program if it's clear enough by the icon what it's. That removes white space off of the display, and I also think it looks nice and is less distracting. Many people today find a darker motif is easier on the eyes concerning preventing eyestrain, and less light overall might mean less blue lighting, which can affect sleep patterns. Many programs include a dark motif in their settings. For instance, I've Google Books set to a dark motif, where the virtual'page' is black as opposed to white and the letters are still white. The majority of the pixels display large (are deterred ) and use no more energy. I'm less familiar with customization and dark topics for iPhones. My perception is that iPhones are harder to personalize. Up to now, though, only the i-phone X series have OLED screens therefore they're the only iPhones that will see energy savings by a dark motif. Facebook is just a notorious resource hog, either on Android and I phones. If you genuinely want to use Facebook, get into settings and restrict its permissions like video autoplay, use of a location, as well as notifications. Do you really want Facebook checking your own location? Autoplaying videos in Facebook (they play mechanically, whether you select them not) uses energy and data, and will be annoying and intrusive sometimes. There could be important settings both in the program it self and in your mobile settings. In case Facebook came pre-installed in your phone (since it did mine), it might not be possible to delete it completely because your smart phone considers it that a system app. If that's the circumstance, you can disable it if you wish. Look through your own battery settings for different programs that work with a disproportionate number of energy and disable, delete, or restrict permissions where potential. For apps you wish to continue using, it is possible to restrict permissions you do not require. There are also'light' versions of a few popular apps which generally take up more space, use less data, and may use less power. Facebook Messenger Light is 1 example. Generally speaking, though, the programs that utilize the maximum battery is going to soon be the apps you use the most, therefore deleting or reducing use might well not be that easy for youpersonally. Your mobile phone gets one or more energy saving manners. These limit the performance of their CPU (along with other features). Consider with them. You are certain to receive lower performance but better battery life. You could not obey the trade off. Many apps exist because both paid and free versions, and also the difference is usually that the free version is supported with advertisements. Banners advertising uses marginally more data and marginally longer energy. Buying an app you use usually rather than using the free ad-supported variation could pay off in the future by reducing data and battery usage. You also free up screen space by getting rid of distracting ads, usually gain more features, and support app developers. You may switch off radios you rarely utilize until you want them. In the event that you never use NFC there's no reason to keep it on. On the flip side, radios like GPS, Wireless bluetooth, and NFC, don't really work with lots of energy in standby mode but only if they truly are actually operating. To put it differently, any energy savings from micro-managing radios will likely be limited. Another idea to think about when it comes to radios is that the poorer your cellphone or WiFi signal, the more power that your mobile needs to get that indicate. To access cellular data or WiFi your phone desires to receive and send advice. If you aren't receiving a strong signal it means your mobile should boost its own signal to reach that remote cell tower or WiFi router, using more energy. If perhaps your room features a strong cell signal but a weak WiFi signal, it can help save you energy to utilize cellular data rather than of WiFi. Similarly, for those who have a solid WiFi signal but weak cell signal, it's better to stay glued to WiFi. If you're out of array of cell service and WiFi, turn air plane mode on. Smart phones are always watching out for cell and wi fi signs if they don't really keep these things. When no signal is available, your phone may go crazy looking for you. Many internet sources state altering up your email from push to fetch helps you to save battery. Drive means that your apparatus is listening to new email, and these get pushed through instantly. This means that your device checks for new messages at a specific interval, every fifteen minutes such as. The maximum energy efficient thing to do is to fetch by hand, this can be the device only checks for mail once you manually start your email program. There is disagreement about if fetch does actually save energy. It almost certainly is dependent upon amount of email and patterns of mail usage. I utilize push. It's efficient enough for me personally. Present-day versions of i-OS will reveal to you your own battery health. There is no such feature in Android, but there are thirdparty apps that will carry out this role. I use AccuBattery which monitors battery health and other stats, as well as giving you a notification when your smartphone charges to some certain point so you may unplug it. Thus far, AccuBattery seems to be confirming my understanding of battery degradation. AccuBattery recommends charging to 80 percent. Plenty of sources I have read indicate that the wholesome range goes to 90% and that's usually a target I aim to get as a great compromise in the middle of preserving battery at the very long run and not exercising of battery in the short time.

Tamera Mowry’s Husband Adam Housley Gets Gathered By South African Twitter Over Coronavirus Tweets

Tamera Mowry’s husband Adam Housley has Twitter in a frenzy yet again. This time, he tweeted about body bags being delivered to South Africa due to the Coronavirus pandemic. His tweets didn’t sit right with South Africans, so they dragged him. More inside…

Adam Housley – Tamera Mowry’s husband – has been receiving backlash for a few tweets he posted about South Africa amid the Coronavirus crisis. The former FOX News correspondent said he learned South Africa received one million body bags due to many South Africans suffering from AIDS and TB and that they’re worried about what’s coming with the Coronavirus.

It started with a tweet about him being worried about a friend of his who is in South Africa:

"I love South Africa and am worried for my friend there," he tweeted.

Then, he started posting statistics about people who have AIDS and TB and how the Coronavirus could cripple the country to, we guess, explain why "he's worried".

“Tonight I have learned that 1 million body bags have been delivered to SA. It’s estimated that nearly 8.5 million people have Aids or TB in the country and they are very worried about what’s coming with coronavirus,” he tweeted.

”That’s more than 20% of the population,” he continued. “71,000 died of AIDS related illness in 2018. 124,000 died of TV in South Africa in 2016. You can see…it won’t take much to make those number explode. There is worry their government can’t come close to handling the situation.”

"I have great contacts there who say they are likely going to be asking for 1-2 million more body bags," he tweeted. "'Adam we just don't have the infrastructure like America to help people here. The socialized health system serves most people, but it's corrupt, underfunded and understaffed.'"

Adam's tweets rubbed some South Africans the WRONG way. They said he needed to stop spreading "fake news" and to worry about what's going on in the U.S. and leave them alone. Bloop.

I’m sure others in other parts of the world would throw the world’s biggest After Tears party as soon as they see Africans dying like ants! If this isn’t some anti-African hatred, I don’t know what is. Adam Housley o bua his BALLS! pic.twitter.com/KImNL0OUvU

— Akanyang Merementsi (@AkanyangM) April 2, 2020

Adam, South Africa has had 5 deaths thus far. If any country needs those body bags it's yours. Leave us alone and focus on your own corona virus mess.

— miss vanjie (@taahira_k) April 2, 2020

Someone please come an collect Adam Housley. He's outchea spreading fake news; basically salivating at the thought of South Africans dying and clearly thinks that "HIV" and "AIDS" are synonyms. Tell this man to keep SA out of his mouth. pic.twitter.com/tzCRcvbExP

— Slice of life (@resting_nice) April 2, 2020

Wrong delivery. We ordered grocery bags cause we are busy shopping and drinking water. Otherwise...

SA death toll 5 US death toll 2000

Don't worry, the delivery has been sent back. Coming to the right address soon

— NTHAPELENG (@Nthapeleng__) April 2, 2020

Please, what is this man talking about? We have mobile units out already, testing people. It's been just over a week since lockdown was announced and we're hustling to save our people. America and Trump have their fingers up their noses. Useless.

— Megsie (@MegPascoe) April 2, 2020

There death rate is literally 1000 more than ours buy ai they can never comprehend that our country is handling this pandemic better than they ever could

— Geralts hmm (@JustSxbs) April 2, 2020

It’s still baffling to them that we’re not dying like they anticipated

— Tshidi (@tshidi_sb) April 2, 2020

That's cool and all but let's compare figures. Let us also look at which country is currently implementing a nation-wide lockdown and which country is still debating whether or not you can walk Fido during the lockdown.

— Ivan (@IamIvan_Dude) April 2, 2020

I wonder if Tamera and the girls will discuss how South African Twitter dragged her hubby Adam Housley for the lies he posted on @TheRealDaytime pic.twitter.com/KhPxJZ3Bb0

— Sbwl bwlw (@lebo_cake) April 2, 2020

He deleted those tweets only to put up a tweet that's equivalent to "I'm not racist because I have black friends."

“I have deleted my South African tweet. It is being completely misunderstood. If you’ve followed me for years, you know SA was one of my most favorite places I’ve ever been. I met Tutu and some amazing people. I have been counting the days to take my kids back," he tweeted.

Still no sympathy for Adam. Users began dragging him for pulling the "I met Tutu" card. By the way, Desmond Tutu was a South African Anglican archbishop who became the first black General Secretary of the South African Council of Churches.

Is saying “I Met Tutu” the same as saying “I have black friends?”

— James de Villiers (@pejames) April 2, 2020

Even if he met Mandela himself...he's still racist

— #OurLand (@PNMaster_) April 2, 2020

Adam Housley deleted all his BS tweets about South Africa and meeting Tutu. The internet did well today. You can’t just spew fake news and think you’ll get away with it Mr Tamera. Nope, noppity nopes!!!

— Zanele ka Madiba (@MissMadiba) April 2, 2020

Needless to say, he deleted that tweet as well.

As of the time of this post, South Africa has 1,462 confirmed cases and 5 deaths. The United States has 245,974 confirmed cases and 6,126 deaths. It's understandable to be worried about friends and family anywhere on the globe right now, but the stereotypical undertones of his tweets are problematic, and if you call yourself a journalist like he does, you would know why.

This isn't the first time Adam ruffled feathers on social media. In 2018, Twitter users dug up some old tweets he posted about murdered teen Trayvon Martin and labeled him as a racist. He hopped on Twitter to defend himself, claiming he's not racist and he's sick of people running with that narrative.

Hmph.

Around The Corner: 3D Housing Designed For The Homeless And Needy Seniors

AUSTIN, Texas — Tim Shea is counting the days until he can move into a new, 3D-printed house. Shea, 69, will be the first to live in one of six such rentals created by what some in the housing industry call a futuristic approach that could revolutionize home construction.

Shea is among a growing number of seniors in America who have struggled to keep affordable housing. He has, at times, been homeless. He has arthritis and manages to get around with the aid of a walker. He said he looks forward to giving up the steep ramp he’s had to negotiate when entering or exiting the RV he’s called home.

“I’m over the top about it,” said Shea, a native of Stratford, Connecticut, who made his way to Austin in 1993. “They had an interview process where a bunch of people applied. Then I found out it was a 3D-printed home, and I was gung-ho.”

The promise of 3D printing has others excited, too.

In a Northeast Austin neighborhood, these homes are taking their distinctive shape on the grounds of Community First Village, where about 180 formerly homeless people have found shelter and camaraderie in the most expensive city in the state. The 51-acre development (which will eventually include more than 500 homes) provides affordable permanent housing, including the 3D variety.

In this city of disruptors, Austin-based construction technology company Icon has formed a variety of partnerships to explore how 3D-printed homes could not only provide housing for people on the margins but also demonstrate how to dramatically reduce the time and money spent on construction.

“I see this innovative idea as being a powerful piece of the puzzle, along with other ideas of what it’s going to take to have more affordably built houses,” said Alan Graham, a real estate developer turned founder of the nonprofit Mobile Loaves & Fishes, which opened the village in 2016. The average age of residents is 55, he said.

These 400-square-foot houses are the nation’s first 3D-printed residences, according to Icon. Its process — which incorporates an 11-foot-tall printer that weighs 3,800 pounds — relies on robotics. Beads of a pliable concrete material dubbed Lavacrete ooze from the behemoth printer in ripples that stack and harden into a wall with curved corners.

The idea is to cut the time and as much as half the cost associated with traditional construction, limit the environmental footprint and trim the number of workers on crews, said Jason Ballard, Icon’s co-founder and CEO.

The process, he added, also could allow more design freedom.

“Because 3D printing uses slopes and curves, in the future new design languages will emerge that are only accessible through 3D printing,” Ballard said.

Icon has generated interest from the federal government, including NASA and the Defense Department, whose Defense Innovation Unit is focused on strengthening national security with new commercial technology. The unit (which has an Austin office) is under contract with Icon to train Marines and develop prototype structures that can be built quickly for military and humanitarian purposes. In late January, about a dozen Marines trained for a week at Icon. Further training is planned this year at Camp Pendleton in California.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson visited Austin twice last year, checking out Icon headquarters and touring the village.

“Innovation is key to solving our affordable housing crisis,” Carson said in an email. “The work that companies like Icon are doing could have a huge impact on housing affordability in communities across the country.”

Such a move is overdue, according to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies. The center in October issued a study that illustrated a growing income disparity among older Americans.

The federal government considers housing affordable when a resident can spend 30% or less of income on it. Those who spend more, according to the Harvard study, are “cost burdened.”

“While many households now of retirement age have the means to age in place or move to other suitable housing, a record number are cost burdened and will have few affordable housing options as they age,” the analysis said. “In addition, many older renters are less well positioned than homeowners because they have lower cash savings and wealth.”

Moreover, the study said homelessness among older adults is increasing. The share of people age 50 and older experiencing homelessness rose to 33.8% in 2017 from 22.9% in 2007. Those statistics, according to the study, suggest that the “need for affordable, accessible housing and in-home supportive services is therefore set to soar.”

Such housing insecurity can affect a person’s health and well-being. “Financial pressures can also lead to depression and other physical problems,” the study said.

Not everyone is convinced 3D is the answer for the masses.

“Basically, 3D printing is creating a wall system,” said Chris Herbert, the Harvard center’s managing director. “It still has to have a foundation. Someone needs to put on a roof. It’s another way to lower the labor cost of producing components of the house, but it’s not printing every piece of the house.”

“If you can show me how 3D printing can produce components that can be stacked with multiple rooms and dimensions, that would have wider applicability for the overall housing stock,” he added.

Architecture professor Ryan Smith, director of the School of Design and Construction at Washington State University, said he agrees it’s early days for the technology.

“It’s worth investment and work on research in the industry, but I don’t see how it’s going to work in the current supply chain and labor market,” he said. “I personally still feel it will be 30 to 40 years before it will be having an impact.”

But architect and 3D advocate Alvin Huang, an associate professor at the USC School of Architecture in Los Angeles, said 3D’s advantages “are about precision and customization.”

“Its actual benefit is in larger projects that have a high deal of customization,” he said. “More and more construction sites will become more and more like factory settings, and instead of laborers, you’re looking at technicians. I’m a very big proponent of thinking about how the 3D printer can change the way we design.”

Brett Hagler is co-founder of New Story, a San Francisco-based social housing nonprofit to end global homelessness. His group and Icon are working on the world’s first 3D-printed community of 50 houses, under construction in Tabasco, Mexico. New Story and Icon partnered to create the first 3D-printed structure in East Austin that debuted in March 2018 at the annual South by Southwest festival. That building, now an office, served as a prototype for the 3D-printed homes at Community First.

“With one type of technology, you essentially get a lower-cost home — the exact percent in price is TBD. Two, it’s faster. Three, it’s very exciting to us because you get a much better custom design based on a family’s need,” he said. “What I do believe is that it has a very real chance to usher in a quantum leap in how we build shelter.”

Hagler said he’s confident the technology will be developed to affect more than just the current single-story detached house and provide solutions to large-scale projects.

“There’s an opportunity for a two-story. That’s going to happen,” he said. “Right now, if we can figure out a two-story, we can figure out a 10-story. It’s just a matter of time.”

At Community First, residents pay monthly rents ranging from $220 to $430 and can earn wages by working on-site. The six new houses that will rent for $430 were created by the second-generation 3D printer called Vulcan II, which last year printed the village’s welcome center.

Shea has come a long way from Ohio, when he was married and lived with his wife and two kids in a house he bought in 1971. He was married 12 years, he said, “until I struck out on my own.”

“We were comfortable,” he said, explaining that he had attended Ohio State University but didn’t graduate and then worked at several jobs in Ohio and Austin until poor health caught up with him and forced him onto the streets. He lives on a modest fixed income of disability and Social Security payments.

“I had never been homeless before I got in bad shape physically. I didn’t feel equipped for it and didn’t handle it very well,” he said. “Some people I’ve met here have been in and out of homelessness all their life. It’s a shock to your system. All I could do was hide. I was embarrassed.”

Now with his new 3D-printed home in sight, Shea is optimistic — for himself and the prospect of 3D-printed homes.

“I feel like it’s going to help people in every situation in life,” he said. “It’s one of the most innovative steps — not just for the homeless — but for affordable housing. It’s pretty amazing.”

New Post has been published on Black Barth News

New Post has been published on http://blackbarth.com/welcome-next-awakening-author-steve-bannons-worldview-explains-path-ahead/

"Welcome To The Next Awakening" - Author Of Steve Bannon's Worldview Explains The Path Ahead

Where did Steve Bannon get his worldview? From my book…”

* * * by Neil Howe via WaPo,

Neil Howe is the author, along with William Strauss, of “Generations,” “The Fourth Turning” and “Millennials Rising.”

The headlines this month have been alarming. “Steve Bannon’s obsession with a dark theory of history should be worrisome” (Business Insider). “Steve Bannon Believes The Apocalypse Is Coming And War Is Inevitable” (the Huffington Post). “Steve Bannon Wants To Start World War III” (the Nation). A common thread in these media reports is that President Trump’s chief strategist is an avid reader and that the book that most inspires his worldview is “The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy.”

I wrote that book with William Strauss back in 1997. It is true that Bannon is enthralled by it. In 2010, he released a documentary, “Generation Zero,” that is structured around our theory that history in America (and by extension, most other modern societies) unfolds in a recurring cycle of four-generation-long eras. While this cycle does include a time of civic and political crisis — a Fourth Turning, in our parlance — the reporting on the book has been absurdly apocalyptic.

I don’t know Bannon well. I have worked with him on several film projects, including “Generation Zero,” over the years. I’ve been impressed by his cultural savvy. His politics, while unusual, never struck me as offensive. I was surprised when he took over the leadership of Breitbart and promoted the views espoused on that site. Like many people, I first learned about the alt-right (a far-right movement with links to Breitbart and a loosely defined white-nationalist agenda) from the mainstream media. Strauss, who died in 2007, and I never told Bannon what to say or think. But we did perhaps provide him with an insight — that populism, nationalism and state-run authoritarianism would soon be on the rise, not just in America but around the world.

Because we never attempted to write a political manifesto, we were surprised by the book’s popularity among certain crusaders on both the left and the right. When “The Fourth Turning” came out, our biggest partisan fans were Democrats, who saw in our description of an emerging “Millennial generation” (a term we coined) the sort of community-minded optimists who would pull America toward progressive ideals. Yet we’ve also had conservative fans, who were drawn to another lesson: that the new era would probably see the successful joining of left-wing economics with right-wing social values.

Beyond ideology, I think there’s another reason for the rising interest in our book. We reject the deep premise of modern Western historians that social time is either linear (continuous progress or decline) or chaotic (too complex to reveal any direction). Instead we adopt the insight of nearly all traditional societies: that social time is a recurring cycle in which events become meaningful only to the extent that they are what philosopher Mircea Eliade calls “reenactments.” In cyclical space, once you strip away the extraneous accidents and technology, you are left with only a limited number of social moods, which tend to recur in a fixed order.

Along this cycle, we can identify four “turnings” that each last about 20 years — the length of a generation. Think of these as recurring seasons, starting with spring and ending with winter. In every turning, a new generation is born and each older generation ages into its next phase of life.

The cycle begins with the First Turning, a “High” which comes after a crisis era. In a High, institutions are strong and individualism is weak. Society is confident about where it wants to go collectively, even if many feel stifled by the prevailing conformity. Many Americans alive today can recall the post-World War II American High (historian William O’Neill’s term), coinciding with the Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy presidencies. Earlier examples are the post-Civil War Victorian High of industrial growth and stable families, and the post-Constitution High of Democratic Republicanism and Era of Good Feelings.

The Second Turning is an “Awakening,” when institutions are attacked in the name of higher principles and deeper values. Just when society is hitting its high tide of public progress, people suddenly tire of all the social discipline and want to recapture a sense of personal authenticity. Salvation by faith, not works, is the youth rallying cry. One such era was the Consciousness Revolution of the late 1960s and 1970s. Some historians call this America’s Fourth or Fifth Great Awakening, depending on whether they start the count in the 17th century with John Winthrop or the 18th century with Jonathan Edwards.

The Third Turning is an “Unraveling,” in many ways the opposite of the High. Institutions are weak and distrusted, while individualism is strong and flourishing. Third Turning decades such as the 1990s, the 1920s and the 1850s are notorious for their cynicism, bad manners and weak civic authority. Government typically shrinks, and speculative manias, when they occur, are delirious.

Finally, the Fourth Turning is a “Crisis” period. This is when our institutional life is reconstructed from the ground up, always in response to a perceived threat to the nation’s very survival. If history does not produce such an urgent threat, Fourth Turning leaders will invariably find one — and may even fabricate one — to mobilize collective action. Civic authority revives, and people and groups begin to pitch in as participants in a larger community. As these Promethean bursts of civic effort reach their resolution, Fourth Turnings refresh and redefine our national identity. The years 1945, 1865 and 1794 all capped eras constituting new “founding moments” in American history.

Just as a Second Turning reshapes our inner world (of values, culture and religion), a Fourth Turning reshapes our outer world (of politics, economy and empire).

In our paradigm, one can look ahead and suggest that a coming time period — say, a certain decade — will resemble, in its essential human dynamic, a time period in the past. In “The Fourth Turning,” we predicted that, starting around 2005, America would probably experience a “Great Devaluation” in financial markets, a catalyst that would mark America’s entry into an era whose first decade would likely parallel the 1930s.

Reflecting on the decade we’ve just lived through, we can probably agree that the 1930s parallel works well. In the economy, both decades played out in the shadow of a global financial crash, and were characterized by slow and disappointing economic growth and chronic underemployment of labor and capital. Both saw tepid investment, deflation fears, growing inequality and the inability of central bankers to rekindle consumption.

In geopolitics, we’ve witnessed the rise of isolationism, nationalism and right-wing populism across the globe. Geostrategist Ian Bremmer says we now live in a “G-Zero” world, where it’s every nation for itself. This story echoes the 1930s, which witnessed the waning authority of great-power alliances and a new willingness by authoritarian regimes to act with terrifying impunity.

In social trends, the two decades also show parallels: falling rates of fertility and homeownership, the rise of multi-generational households, the spread of localism and community identification, a dramatic decline in youth violence (a fact that apparently has eluded the president), and a blanding of pop youth culture. Above all, we sense a growing desire among voters around the world for leaders to assert greater authority and deliver deeds rather than process, results rather than abstractions.

We live in an increasingly volatile and primal era, in which history is speeding up and liberal democracy is weakening. As Vladimir Lenin wrote, “In some decades, nothing happens; in some weeks, decades happen.” Get ready for the creative destruction of public institutions, something every society periodically requires to clear out what is obsolete, ossified and dysfunctional — and to tilt the playing field of wealth and power away from the old and back to the young. Forests need periodic fires; rivers need periodic floods. Societies, too. That’s the price we must pay for a new golden age.

If we look at the broader rhythms of history, we have reason to be heartened, not discouraged, by these trends. Anglo-American history over the past several centuries has experienced civic crises in a fairly regular cycle, about every 80 or 90 years, or roughly the length of a long human life. This pattern reveals itself in the intervals separating the colonial Glorious Revolution, the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the Great Depression and World War II. Fast-forward the length of a long human life from the 1930s, and we end up where we are today.

America entered a new Fourth Turning in 2008. It is likely to last until around 2030. Our paradigm suggests that current trends will deepen as we move toward the halfway point.

Further adverse events, possibly another financial crisis or a major armed conflict, will galvanize public opinion and mobilize leaders to take more decisive action. Rising regionalism and nationalism around the world could lead to the fragmentation of major political entities (perhaps the European Union) and the outbreak of hostilities (perhaps in the South China Sea, the Korean Peninsula, the Baltic states or the Persian Gulf).

Despite a new tilt toward isolationism, the United States could find itself at war. I certainly do not hope for war. I simply make a sobering observation: Every total war in U.S. history has occurred during a Fourth Turning, and no Fourth Turning has yet unfolded without one. America’s objectives in such a war are likely to be defined very broadly.

At the end of the 2020s, the Fourth Turning crisis era will climax and draw to a close. Settlements will be negotiated, treaties will be signed, new borders will be drawn, and perhaps (as in the late 1940s) a new durable world order will be created. Perhaps as well, by the early 2030s, we will enter a new First Turning: Young families will rejoice, fertility will rebound, economic equality will rise, a new middle class will emerge, public investment will grow into a new 21st-century infrastructure, and ordered prosperity will recommence.

During the next First Turning, potentially the next “American High,” millennials will move into national leadership and showcase their optimism, smarts, credentials and confidence. Sometime in the late 2030s, the first millennial will be voted into the White House, prompting talk of a new Camelot moment. Let a few more years pass, and those organization-minded millennials may face a passionate and utterly unexpected onslaught from a new crop of youth.

Welcome to the next Awakening. The cycle of history keeps turning, inexorably.
