The housing
market finished the decade largely on trend...
The general trend of torrid housing market growth fueled by
low interest rates and a tight supply continued largely unchanged during the
last quarter of the decade, as most expected it would. Though
buyers who have struggled with highly unaffordable home prices in recent years
did see a bit of a respite.
To wit, the median home prices in the fourth quarter of 2019 were unaffordable
for average wage earners in 344 of 486 - or 71% - of the counties analyzed in the report.
To be sure, some slight progress was made: the figure was down from 73%
in the prior quarter, and 75% during Q4 2018.

Home affordability heat map
We suspect that the reason so many Americans feel broke and
desperate isn't because they are technically below the poverty line, or fear
they might soon be there. It's not because they can't afford basic staples like
food (though many can't), it's that they're so steeped
in debt and squeezed by rising prices on homes, health care etc. (though
the Fed can't seem to find a lick of inflation anywhere) that home ownership, the foundation of a healthy financial life,
seems out of reach. Millennials who can't afford a down payment miss out
on building wealth instead of wasting money on rent. Some
studies claim that up
to 75% of millennials believe they may never
own their own home.
Unless this trend reverses
substantially in the coming decade, Americans will be in trouble.

This has nothing to do with REV, JUST THE OPPOSITE: INVOLUTION
'The party of the working class...'
Trump administration
is reviving America's manufacturing base after "a combination of
NAFTA and China basically gutted this country," as well as Navarro's
predictions for 2020. [[ FACT: Trump is not reviving nothing.. everything is getting
worse ]]
ISSUES
DISCUSSED:
1-Manufacturing From millions cars piled: this Christmas buying is lesser than 2018
2- Disappearing jobs "We
were the most advanced manufacturing county in the world - the workshop for the
world - and all the sudden we weren't over
a period of 10, 20, 30 years. How did that happen, what were the driving
forces, and where did the manufacturing base actually
go?"
3- The Trump economy and the 'four points of the economic compass'.
a-Tax cuts: primarily
corporate taxes
b- 'Reaganesque' Deregulation: [cutting] eight regulations out for every
ne, and that's a pure Reaganesque, shock because it is deflationary which allows us to grow faster without concern
over the Fed.
c- Unleashing the US energy sector. it gives us global competitive
advantage. Bannon adds: Trump's energy policy give us "full-spectrum
energy dominance,". [[ where? Germany is getting
energy from RU and all EU is in this line. This is just mere wishful thinking]]
d- Fair and balanced trade. "The idea here is that when you
run these big trade deficits," Navarro & Bannon conclude that "They don't
matter. All my betters at Goldman Sachs - they don't matter. Lou Dobbs is a
crank. They don't matter!"
…
[[ IN SHORT: THIS IS A STUPID PAID DEBATE ]]

Gas pipeline politics has always been
contentious. One state’s sovereign
promise is another’s weakening...
Here only extracts: read the full article at the source in
the bottom
The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, construction of which is
intended to transport 55 billion cubic metres of Russian gas to Germany per
year under the Baltic Sea, is a ragbag of options and promises.
The United
States is less concerned with matters green. Nord Stream 2 poses a
security threat. The Trump administration’s actions against
Gazprom and Russia’s energy influence, found in a provision of the 2020
National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), can hardly
be seen as noble endeavours.
Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova
spikily condemned the sanctions measure. “A state with a $22 trillion
national debt prohibits creditworthy countries to develop the real sector of
their economies!”
For a EU
spokesman, this
constituted “the imposition of sanctions
against EU companies conducting legitimate business.” A
German government spokesman suggested that such actions
“affect German and other European businesses, and we see the move as meddling
in our internal affairs.”
Nothing is quite so
simple. Gas pipeline politics has always been contentious. One
state’s sovereign promise is another’s weakening.
But the imposition of any sanctions
regime signals another bout of economic violence. In the
international market, where governments operate as
ready gangsters for corporate interests, prompted by such motivations as
seeking more natural resources, tools of state become handmaidens of economic
self-interest. And
in all this, the prospect of ecological devastation remains genuine since disagreements
contains political interests.

REBELION
COOPs:
Posee el cooperati una teoría sobre poder
político y Estado? José Yorg. Por
supuesto, la creo el socialista ingles Robert Owen (1771-1858) quien escribió
solo un libro “El Socialismo Moderno” (1830). Pero
a él más se lo conoce por su trabajo político práctico. Este hijo de artesanos
se inició como obrero en una fábrica de tejidos y llego a ser gerente de la
empresa, lo que pronto abandono, para convertirse en uno de los críticos más
audaces de la Rev Industrial. Fue el 1ro en proponer las Coops como la esencia
del socialismo por venir si los trabajadores se organizan. La cooperativa es la
propiedad común basada en la igualdad de derechos. Y el organizó en Inglaterra
las 1ras comunas de trabajadores con 300 y hasta 2,000 miembros. Con ellos se logró
reducir la jornada de trabajo de 14 y 13 a 10 horas. No solo eso, además se
creo la mutual de credito o Banco del pueblo que sirvió para dar ingreso a los
trabajadores durante la crisis del algodón. Todo esto y mucho mas se puede
conseguir si logramos destruir la propiedad privada y en su reemplazo creamos
la propiedad comunal. La fama de Owen se extendió más allá de Inglaterra. En
1834 los obreros de Indiana en el USA lo llamaron como asesor y creo en el US
la 1ra Colonia comunista o cooperativista a la que se llamó “Nueva Armonia”,
asi fue como nació el MOV coop del US de lo que aún existen pueblos
comunitarios como los Amish de Pensylvania. Pero el trabajo iniciado en Indiana
no pudo ser continuado cuando él tuvo que viajar al Inglaterra. Los anarquistas
franceses y el Ruso M Bakunin también adptaron su línea cooperativista y a
las coops le llamaron koljoses. Los marxistas en su afán de controlar el mov
socialista lo acusaron de predicar el transito pacifico al socialismo y la
unidad de clases. Exacto, dijo Owen, nosotros sí creemos que se puede llegar al
socialismo por via pacifica mediante elecciones y además consideramos que se
puede luego crear una REV desde arriba contra el poder del capitalismo. R Owen murió
en 1858, pero no se fue sin antes proponer la creación de la 1ra Internacional
socialista, y eso nació años después de su muerte y allí se adoptaron los
principios del socialismo cooperativista que el practicó.
