The Evictors Charles B. Pierce USA, 1979 ★★ Weird movie.

Feels like an episode from a mystery tv series that got extra (needlessly) long scenes just to increase the runtime.

A few more highlights, some less funny and more just really cool looking

I love vintage posters so my brother got me a bunch of old PDFs of Star Trek comics from the 70s or whatever to turn some of the covers into posters and these are the funniest of the highlights. I want whatever they were on back then 😂

At their core, every university in the so-called U.S. is part of the reproduction of daily life in this country. The primary function of the university is to create the next generation of the managerial class, to deputize the next in line to wield the hedge funds, oil drills, and missile silos all while laundering the myth of a meritocratic society where anyone can leave economic precarity for comfort if they simply dedicate themselves to study and craft. In this way the university sells the possibility of future comfort at the cost of participating in the genocidal and ecocidal death march of the status quo, maintaining the sanctity of the capitalist mode of production (of work) in the process. While selling this (often illusory) possibility of future economic comfort, the university also serves as landlord and debt collector, adding to the economic precarity for many within its confines, making its illusory promise all the more enticing. At the same time the university fills the role of gentrifier and evictor for all those unlucky enough to have been born near a campus without institutional connection. In its primary function, the university continually serves the reproduction of the relations of racial capitalism, settler-colonialism, and every other oppressive force that follows (anti-blackness, ableism, cisheteropatriarchy, etc.). This is to make no mention of how often the research conducted within, say, departments under the STEM umbrella explicitly expands the militaristic and surveillance capabilities of the state or how the prevalence of ROTC programs encourage students to become the foot soldiers of empire. The university is not some neutral entity that is simply misguided by “bad actors” in the administration leading it to make “bad decisions” (such as investing in the apartheid regime of Israel). There is no ending the regime of racial capital without attacking, undermining, and ending the systems that help to reproduce that regime. There is no way to end this world of death machines without breaking with daily life as we currently live it. There is no way to end the world of genocide without ending the institution of the university.

The University, Too, Must Be Destroyed

Reviewing Basics About War and Everything Else

Explaining everything gives us a chance to review what’s taken for granted as we help those who never granted access to basic facts in their skulls.  Simple tones aren’t just for first contact with aliens.  Liberals could avoid feeling they’re being condescended to if they started grasping simple notions.  Declaring Israel needed to cease firing at terrorists who certainly won’t respect the honor system serves as yet another failed test.

Defining what war is may help those confused about which side to back.  We all agree it is very bad.  The rather unpleasant state involves explosions that may damage more than hearing.  People who end up dead and stuff that ends up broken.  The only thing worse may be not fighting one on account of how the diabolical other side may continue to wage it.  

World War III’s Axis fans don’t notice the corpses that spurred a righteous response.  Oh: it’s like inflation.  Missing steps like the Underpants Gnomes is essentially their doctrine. The difference is that liberals don’t end up discovering how commerce works.

It’s mean to make residents leave.  Tacit or active Hamas allies avoid encountering a reason Israel got bossy.  The evictors don’t need to root out the human demons who want to prevent their continued existence or anything.  Pondering why there’s an evacuation might lead to the end of sanctimony, and feeling superior is how liberals fuel themselves.  Their solar panels don’t work.

Time moving forward may seem restraining.  But at least noticing there’s only one direction allows for knowing which events happen first.  Take noticing just when a war began, which we call the Pearl Harbor factor.  For Earth’s present major conflict, recall just which side flew in to a music festival on a contraption too primitive for Mad Max and slaughtered everyone they could for the crime of not eating bacon for the wrong reason.

Locating terrorists before they go on another serial killing rampage through your streets might just be a legitimate reason for displacement.  I’m sorry for the disruption.  Finding something to drink requires excessive effort for some right not.  But primary victims will never have water or anything else again.  The Hamas Mutual Aid Society is stingy with Evian.

Determining who started this is a distinction that’s as important as it is easy.  Even amateur conflict detectives can uncover the most crucial aspect with minimal scrutiny.  There shouldn’t be any worry about something so obvious to spot, yet the answer eludes the self-proclaimed smartest amongst us.

Ask if one side turned water pipes into rockets.  The weapon of primitive losers who don’t even use protractors to aim is acceptable to fiends who want to kill anyone they might hit.  Condemning practices that are savage in every way shouldn’t be this hard.

Board the tour bus at any stop.  Noticing where the loop starts is too difficult to grasp for phonily high-minded types who cherish chances to condemn the cycle of violence without noting where said cycle began.  

Liberals never follow consequences, which explains why they’re liberals.  Grasping what comes next is for soothsayers.  The most sophisticated analysts believe in rationality and not magic about predicting tomorrow, which is why they’re always shocked when printing money doesn’t cure poverty.  

Pondering just why Israel is fighting would mean acknowledging a certain religion maintains a terror problem.  College professors reflexively thought that means Judaism.  Attacking civilization charms those living far away while benefiting from cushy protections.  Total non-anti-Semites are suspiciously eager to harvest grievances against a country that seems like America in its decadent love for gun rights and true tolerance.

Foes of the only place they’d want to live in the Middle East adore making up tales.  Pretending a rather broad-minded nation is a group of seething Islamophobic colonialists on occupied land who run their own open-air concentration camps doesn’t conform with reality, but that’s never stopped Democrats from maintaining their beliefs.

Leftists figure Israel must be the violators if they can win wars.  Equating strength with violation is as foolish as Donald Trump declaring power is all that matters.  They surely enjoy thinking on his terms.  They also don’t grasp how bearing arms allows the virtuous to outmuscle fiends if you’re seeking consistency.

The only debate is whether they’re unaware or familiar.  The result is the same, so figuring out why one of the two sides opposes the most just war possible is academic.  Condemning the republic fighting back against terrorism makes it seem as if the conflict is simply a matter of sadism.

Good guys try their hardest, which is the one time villains’ apologists aren’t into appeasement.  Israel is already at an infinitely higher standard for protecting the innocent, and the entity fighting to continue existing is still never good enough for liberals preening like it’s a serious Steven Spielberg movie.  Stick to special effects.

You simply can’t start a binge on season four.  Confused viewers are missing important context.  Don’t they wonder how characters got to the present situation?  Liberals don’t grasp drama or anything else.  Trying to explain what’s happening to the clueless means nobody can follow, which they sickly seem to enjoy.  The inattentive sure seem to enjoy others being as oblivious.

Full article here.

Do you/will you rent? Does anyone you care about? Have a TLDR for the article (and its linked references) and the points that affect you. Because there is action you can take:

the FBI this week (June 3 2024) conducted a dawn raid of corporate landlord giant Cortland Management over what’s called algorithmic price-fixing.

[this is part of a larger anti-trust action vs] software and consulting firm RealPage which has been working with at least 21 large landlords and institutional investors, encompassing 70% of multi-family apartment buildings and 16 million units nationwide, to systematically push up rents. And RealPage isn’t just some software company distorting rental markets, it’s also owned by Thoma Bravo, one of the biggest private equity firms in the U.S. So yeah, this scandal matters.

Large corporate landlords, who would normally compete with one another for tenants via price or quality, have stopped competing since 2016. Instead they all share “detailed real-time data regarding pricing, inventory, occupancy rates, and unit types that are or will be coming available to rent” every day with one another through RealPage’s revenue management system, which in turn sends back recommendations on pricing.

RealPage recommendations on pricing explicitly drives up rent prices by holding apartments off the market (!)

Vacancy rates have been increasing, and when there’s more supply, prices should come down. But they aren’t. Because between 2015-2017 a bunch of landlords started using RealPage pricing recommendations.

RealPage is "lobbying up" and has hired a trio of Capitol Hill insiders to fend off a regulatory crackdown from Congress. This is RealPage's first foray into federal lobbying.

In 2017, the Trump DOJ approved RealPage’s acquisition of its biggest competitor Rainmaker Group, which made rent-setting software called Lease Rent Options. The $300 million acquisition allowed RealPage to double the number of apartments it was pricing, from 1.5 to 3 million units.

[one of the other clients of the RealPage lobbyists] is led by Trump ally Stephen Ross and is one of the largest owners of affordable housing in the country. It was also a leading pandemic evictor.

If you rent or will rent, take note that the Biden administration is demonstrably committed to cracking down on this kind of big-corporate cartel, price-fixing crap. The Administration's position marks "a return to the original intent of the nation's antitrust laws after 40 years of deregulation that began in the Reagan Administration." [ABA]

Conclusion:

If you rent or will rent, a Trump presidency will allow this nationwide housing rental price-gouging to continue or get worse.

If you rent or will rent, be aware that the Biden administration has attacked and will continue to attack this kind of nationwide housing rental price-gouging.

If you rent or will rent then (1) make a plan to vote and (2) Vote Blue in November.

Greedflation is manifest.
