I guess this just further tramples the idea that sexual repression creates pedophiles. Obviously lack of accountability and power reveals demons. That's a lesson as old as humans. From female teachers to j Epstein.
Makes me think of that Shingles commercial. Shingles doesn't care. I dub DeSantis Gov Shingles. This! He's a salesman, and will pitch his story to engage support, regardless of which party he chose to run in. He has always been driven by greed, money, and attention. He has always been a bragger, liar, and con. He always associated himself with white collar criminals, and found any way he could to skirt the laws, or use his money to make the accusers go away, as they say, with threats or hush money, like his partner in crime Epstein. He wanted more though. He wanted to be King. He wanted power more than anything, and will stop at nothing to get it. He is a master of manipulation, and as shady as they get. The difference between Trump and many narcissists is that he has the more dangerous traits. He watched people dying and hospitals tents packed with COVID patients without ever once showing an ounce of empathy. He never shed a tear for anyone. He's disturbing and sociopathic. A sociopathic narcissist is a very dangerous person. People are collateral for him, and he would stab anyone in the back, or put anyone in harms way, to get what he wants. Doing that through lying and manipulation is sociopathic. He would sell his soul to the devil, and that is why he is a threat to our troops, our country, and Democracy.
...uh-uh. ...from what I hear, the devil ain't that stupid. He knows he could get whatever the Donald has that passes itself off as a soul for a cheeseburger and a coke. ... that's all it took to get him to show confidential war plans to some woman he was trying to impress, right? I'll give the Donald this, though: he's better at wooing the ladies than Rudy Gooey-ani ever was ..
I think the gap in understanding here for you is realizing that the default state of an adult male is to be sexually attracted to a 14- 18 year old teenage girl but most men have the self control and moral gumption to not act on those sexual thoughts. This means that any organization that has a strict male patriarchy will ALWAYS have rampant sexual abuse of young teenage girls. And this type of sexual abuse is least reported because it's often the head of households especially in religious homeschooling communities that are doing the acts and the head of these households due to patriarchy system have no one to answer to besides other males who also abuse their power. The inherent patriarchal hierarchy is the primary factor in most child abuse cases in the world from fundi Muslim communities to fundi evangelical communities. Don't just concentrate on "pedos". You don't need to be a pedo to abuse teenage girls who are the biggest victim group of sexual abuse in religious households.
I don't have a gap in understanding. DonnyMost said any group prevented from banging will turn into pedophiles. I disputed that and you and Mook starting coming in on a completely different talking point about the patriarchy. As far as being sexually attracted to 14 year olds, speak for yourself.

This guy still beating a dead horse no voter seriously GAF about. Biden won with the help of Never Trumpers. RDS can't win with Never Woke alone. The whole Woke movement picked up steam under Trump after his handling of Charlottesville with Metoo and George Floyd igniting under his watch and who also happened to peddle the same filth and attitude as those perpetrators. If this mythical de...generate Never Woke crowd is frothing enough to vote on that issue alone, why not go for the original formula? I heard him claim one of his strength's is crime. I looked it up and Florida is middling. Nothing to model after like Romney's healthcare plan. Nobody considers Florida a Conservative Bastion...more likely Texas. The site I was on had a small campaign video of the doofus standing in SF peddling the same garbage he would in front of a blue screen on Fox News. What a wasteful dipshit. How about you solve problems from your own state and boast about that, you high heel wearing bootlicking freak? You have already have the peoples attention. You're just warming the seat for Trump until he cuts down that police tape blocking access to his porcelain throne.
DeSantis is an idiot or whoever is running his campaign is. You cannot beat King MAGAMAGA by copying his shtick. One cannot out MAGA him. Now maybe he is betting on King MAGAMAGA being found guilty or dropping out of the race. However, there is no way in Hell DeSantis is winning by being a copycat.
Could we ban all foreign investors from the American housing market? It's not like I could buy up a bunch of Chinese real estate as a US citizen without ever setting foot there if it all.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/10/economy/florida-inflation-hotspot-regional/index.html Florida is now America’s inflation hotspot By Bryan Mena and Alicia Wallace, CNN Updated 2:32 PM EDT, Mon July 10, 2023 America’s inflation hotspot because of a persistent problem with sky-high housing costs. The Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach area has the highest inflation rate of metro areas with more than 2.5 million residents, with a 9% inflation rate for the 12 months ended in April. That’s more than double the national average of 4%, according to data from the Consumer Price Index. The Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metro had the third-highest inflation rate in the country, at 7.3% for the year ended in May. Other metro areas, however, have seen some welcome progress. Minneapolis had an inflation rate of 1.8% in May from a year earlier, the lowest of the 23 metro areas for which the Labor Department publishes inflation data. Urban Hawaii had the second lowest inflation rate at 2% — mirroring the Federal Reserve’s target for its preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures index. Here are some notable inflation trends for the biggest metros in the US and the dynamics behind those shifts. A vexing inflation problem in the Sunshine State In Florida, the state’s growing population has been pushing up inflation — particularly via housing costs. It’s a trend that accelerated during the pandemic, when remote work gave some Americans the freedom to relocate, economists say. “A lot of people are still coming to Florida because the economy is really strong, and many like the fact that we don’t have an income tax like in New York, for example,” said Amanda Phalin, an economist at the University of Florida. “And in places like Miami, we’re seeing a lot of real estate demand from non-Floridians or non-American investors — generally wealthy folks who want to have a nice home here.” Florida’s population grew the most of any state from July 2021 to July 2022 because of domestic migration, according to the Census Bureau’s latest estimates. During that same period, Florida also had the fastest population growth by percentage, the first time it has notched that top spot since 1957. Mortgage rates jump to 6.81%, their highest level this year Housing costs account for almost a third of the Labor Department’s Consumer Price Index, and population gains heavily influence that component. An influx of residents boosts demand in a local economy across the board — for transportation, services and housing. That has pushed up inflation rates. Rising interest rates, limited housing stock in cities such as Miami, and more expensive property insurance have also pushed up housing costs, Phalin said. “Both the rental and purchasing markets are seeing upward pressures on prices from all these factors,” Phalin said. She added that there’s a shortage of available rental units because “a lot of homes are converting themselves into Airbnbs and some homeowner associations prohibit people from renting out their homes.” That has all resulted in a growing affordability issue for residents who have lived in cities such as Miami and Tampa Bay for decades or their entire lives. Progress on inflation Housing costs also loom large in the metro area with the lowest inflation rate: Minneapolis and St. Paul. “Shelter costs grew faster in Minneapolis and peaked a little bit earlier,” said Tyler Schipper, associate professor of economics at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis. “They peaked about six months before they did on average of the rest of the country.” Also likely playing a role is how the Bureau of Labor Statistics tabulates shelter costs within the CPI and the timing of when readings are collected for various regions. Shelter carries a lot of weight in the CPI calculations. However, it comes at a significant lag because of how infrequently the data is collected (every six months versus monthly or two months for other CPI prices) and because of how infrequently rents change (many leases are for 12 months, and rents typically are raised when a tenant leaves). “I think that’s leading to this divergence where inflation peaked at about the same time for [the Twin Cities and the nation], but it just has dropped off faster here than in the rest of the country,” he said. Helping that along has been a surge of multifamily construction, putting more apartments on the market and bringing down rents in the process. Last year, multifamily permits made up nearly half of the total housing permits issued in the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis’ district, which spans the Upper Midwest into the Mountain West. The activity — which was the highest share on record for that district, the regional Fed noted — is particularly evident in southeastern Minnesota, where large apartment projects are flourishing throughout the Twin Cities. Even though the Twin Cities’ inflation rate is currently the lowest among major cities, it might not feel that way to residents, Schipper said. “Because the CPI is so weighted toward housing, our overall numbers still looked really good, but those food prices went higher and stayed higher relative to other metro areas,” he said. “You’re going to have a hard time convincing people that inflation is getting better if their grocery store prices are still going up.” Minneapolis resident Latoya Rogers isn’t feeling much price relief when she’s out getting groceries or buying other home goods. Aside from grabbing an item or two if she’s near a Target or a Cub grocery store, most of her shopping is done at Costco or Sam’s Club, she said. “I budget a lot because things are so expensive these days,” she said during a quick run to Target in south Minneapolis. “Buying in bulk will last you longer.” Still high, but doing better At one point, the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell metro was America’s inflation hotspot. Inflation soared in Atlanta for the reason it did in other cities in the South: The population grew, driven by Americans fleeing expensive coastal cities. However, inflation in this metro area has come down steadily in the past year as supply and demand in the region’s housing market has come into better balance as migration into the city has slowed. Atlanta notched an inflation rate of 5.8% in the 12 months ended in April — about half of the 11.7% peak it saw in August 2022. “If you look at the data, housing inventory in Atlanta has increased quite a bit from a year ago, so there’s a lot more supply in the market, while the number of sales has been declining,” said Kaiji Chen, an economics professor at Emory University in Atlanta. A drop in transportation costs also helped slow Atlanta’s inflation rate, he said.
That's a bit strongly worded..... What I got out of this was that there has been an evolutionary pressure for mankind to have kids early and often which has occurred for pretty much our entire existence (even 100 years is a short time for humans). We see this is other species too, breed early and breed often. I agree with this. Toss the Hindus in there too, pretty much every religious sect gets caught diddling kids.
Are they US citizens? Do they actually live in the house? To be clear, I would heavily penalize people that are US citizens and own multiple homes as well. We need to have high home ownership in the USA. Housing, food, education and medical/mental health are areas the government should ensure all Americans have reasonable access too - otherwise the government needs to just play referee and ensure that no one is breaking the rules or exploiting loopholes and that opportunities exist. As for @AroundTheWorld , I don’t agree with him on some important political issues, but I do like him as a person.
