  1. Then you're just not paying attention. There are plenty of patriots in politics, but these days they are mostly on the right, and the ones that are on the left get pilloried by their own side, like Tulsi Gabard. The people at the top who control everything are just uniparty. It doesn't matter who you vote for, the outcome is roughly the same, but there absolutely are people just one or two steps below that that keep bringing up these issues in congressional meetings and trying to tackle the serious stuff but they can't get past the barrier of the establishment. Go on the Forbes, breaking news, YouTube channel and you'll see politician after politician, making very salient points and trying to hold people to a couch, but nothing ever happens. They get scolded and then go about their lives and nothing happens to them. It's like how absolutely nobody was punished for the 2008 financial crisis. In fact, Obama hired those same people and now the problem is even worse, and Trump did nothing to stop it either. The people at the top are all garbage.

  3. I live in Vancouver Canada and I'm in construction. We build new condo towers. Just regular rentals, not super high and luxury ones or anything and a one bedroom unit is $3000 a month all in. That's insane. I make six figures and can only afford a one bedroom apartment rental. That's not sustainable. I live in a crappy basement suite just to save money.

  4. I actually disagree with Scott on a great many things including 1/2 of his proposed solutions in this talk, but he absolutely nailed the problem. And at this point I don't care if I disagree with his solutions, at least it's something different. Let's give it a go and see what happens.
