Corporations can buy up all they want… but idle units are unprofitable. Between property taxes, borrowing costs and maintenance (which accrues whether units are empty or not), units need revenue or they are a drag on profits. Cartels fall apart very rapidly under these conditions.
Right now demand outstrips supply by a wide margin. This makes it profitable to buy and rent it out. Build enough housing to put some slack in the market and that equation will rapidly reverse.
TL;DR corporate ownership is a symptom, not a cause of housing supply issues.
It’s entirely likely people on these products don’t easily match internally.
The job market for people capable of working on Apple high end R&D is also likely much better at matching then Apples internal HR, simply because the market has so many more openings.
It will likely result in a cut in hours for marginal workers, boosted hours for higher productivity workers and more outsourcing/automation.
Labor intensive restaurant operations will have a competitive disadvantage to capital intensive models, and so we’ll see more capital intensive ones thrive.
Holding assets during inflationary periods means paying a higher percentage of your real gains as taxes.
How about asking the workers in other countries who benefitted from this transaction if they were happy with the arrangement? Or do only Americans matter? Maybe you think foreigners are fit only to till dirt fields as subsistence farmers?
You are mistaking the opinions of a government regulatory body with that of expertise.
The literature on risk is very clear. Occupational level exposure is the critical hazard. Transient exposure is meaningless.
And of course you are missing my central argument. People are at more risk today because existing policy makes asbestos a taboo. Everyone is afraid of it and no one wants to talk about it on a construction site because it screws everything up. And so lots of construction workers, mostly immigrant labor etc pay the price so that some soccer mom can feel certain her kids didn’t get exposed to 0.1fcc hours of asbestos.
The MAO is entirely plausible. Many fast food wrappers are lined with PFAS because of its temperature stability and hydrophobic properties. At high temperatures these coatings also leech the coating.
Fast food consumption is also associated with both. Was this controlled for? How about BMI?
I’ve decided social media is inherently toxic to human discourse and corrodes our ability to interact meaningfully with our fellow citizens. No one is immune to the pernicious effects it has on our minds.
