Peter Schiff, the economist who predicted the 2008 housing market crash now predicts an 80% to 90% housing crash. Don’t underestimate Peter Schiff. Schiff has been spot on his housing and economic forecast for years. Government should not intervene on the open market. The FED printing money has a disastrous impact on the overall economy. Government control and guarantee railroads the housing and banking system where it disrupts the overall economic development system and the end result is a financial crisis. Homeowners who purchased homes are barely surviving and many cannot afford their housing expenses. Homes are getting reasseessed where property taxes are increasing 50% and more. Homeowners insurance is doubling in many areas. Many people cannot afford the maintenance in their homes where the end result will be a tear down. Bankruptcy and foreclosure numbers are skyrocketing at historic highs. Watch Peter Schiff’s commentary on the state of our economy.

Kamala Harris is paying for supporters. A true scum at its highest level. CMV: Saying Kamala Harris was a “DEI hire” or that she feels “entitled” to the Presidency or that she thinks it’s “her turn” are the same kind of arguments that were used against Hillary Clinton, and they are BS.

We all know that tens of thousands of people are moving out to California. What are the biggest reasons people are moving out of California?

I have learned recently that Venice, Italy, is charging 5 euros to gain entry to the city. The city has experienced a high volume of profit. There are peak times that they charge; there are 29 dates from April to mid-July, mostly holidays and weekends, between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m..

Realizing that nothing in Venice costs under 5 euros, including coffee, it’s not too expensive in the big picture. The profit so far is 2.43 million euros, or about 2.75 million US dollars. That’s a lot of espressos.

Some people asked, “Why should I pay an entrance fee to a city?” It wouldn’t fly in New York City; imagine putting a turnstile at all the various ways to enter the city. They actually do have tolls, which is sort of the same thing. The E-Z pass for bridges and tunnels entering the city is $11.00-$14.00, depending on peak hours. Chicago and San Francisco all have these tolls; travel is a curse. They charge to enter Disneyland and Epcot. The only advantage is that in Disneyland and Venice, you don’t drive. Trams in Disneyland, gondolas, and water taxis in Venice.

There is always a side hustle to these fees, and there is no way to escape them. If you drive or walk, you are charged. Parking at sporting events is so expensive that gas is taxed and relaxed.

Wouldn’t it be Utopia if there was a society that existed with no cars, no gas, no taxes, and no entrance fees?

Can anyone make a suggestion? Maybe artistic intelligence can answer this riddle.
