The US did not start this war. Putin/Russia started this war by an unprovoked attacks on Ukraine. It is a Ukrainian decision for conscription, the US and Europe are just helping arm and train them.
Any peace deal requires a return of Ukrainian lands to Ukraine because the last time Ukraine accepted the loss of Crimea, Putin reneged on his word and attacked again.
It’s not a cap on rent it’s a cap on raising it. Not much different than setting interest rates imo. I don’t know enough law about it but at least it’s an attempt? There’s a lot of talk here about how it doesn’t solve the underlying problem but I don’t see people providing another solution.
I’d like to see property taxes increased with more single family homes owned. Let businesses keep the apartments let homes become a place to live and not an investment though.
I thought that Millennials would do this after the Bush era and the 08 financial crisis. I was wrong. Republican brainwashing and propaganda is extremely strong and the lack of a stronger leftist representation makes it difficult to get much will to vote. I hope you’re right but I’m also not gonna hold my breath.
