Who owns you? Something I found on Druthers

I found this article on druthers, you can see the original article here: https://druthers.net/who-will-eventually-own-everything-including-you/
The article goes into details about who really controls society's most important industries and most valuable assets. And it's speaking in global terms, so doesn't matter what nationality you are, it's relevant. So have a read through at the article and then maybe explore the site Druthers itself, they have many other hard-hitting pieces.
I will include an excerpt below. Let me know what you think.
**********
BlackRock Is Buying Up Homes
By now you may be familiar with the World Economic Forum slogan, “By 2030, you will own nothing.” (www.youtu.be/VmOJEPVLUlQ) To that end, BlackRock and other investment firms are currently buying up every single-family home they can find, making cash offers of 20% to 50% above-asking price.
Depending on where you live, you may have noticed that homes are selling within hours of being listed, making house hunting nearly impossible. Home buyers in my home state of Florida are certainly experiencing this phenomenon.
Investment firms are also buying up entire neighborhoods. As just one example, a 124-home neighborhood in Conroe, Texas, was bought for $32 million — 20% above listing — by Fundrise LLC, a real estate crowdfunding company, which then turned around and made all the homes into single-family rentals (SFRs).
According to investment experts, SFRs are “exceptionally attractive investment assets,” and this is one aspect driving the trend. Demographic changes such as millennials starting families and affordability constraints are also said to be driving factors. But that really does not fully explain what’s happening.
The War Against Private Property
Buying a home has been part of the American dream since the founding of this country. It’s been a significant part of financial success and security. Now, lower to middle class Americans are being intentionally positioned to become permanent renters, which means they cannot build equity. Their ability to purchase a home, even if they can afford it, is being stripped from them by companies that can outbid them with cash offers.
In a recent episode of “60 Minutes”, (www.youtu.be/ZEwxYvQVU5g) Lesley Stahl actually did a good job exposing why home prices are going through the roof. It’s not just that these investment companies can snap up homes with the click of a button, but they’re also artificially driving up prices of both homes and rents.
For example, rents in Jacksonville, Florida, rose an average of 31% in 2021, and Austin, Texas, saw rents jump by 40%. The reason appears to be twofold: We’re not building enough housing, and what is being built is being bought by corporate landlords at above-market prices.
Corporate real estate investors don’t even look at the homes they’re bidding on, and typically waive inspections. The home can be in any shape and sell within hours. As Stahl notes, “this puts first-time home buyers at a serious disadvantage,” as they have many hoops to jump through before they can secure a loan and close the deal.
Government estimates we’re currently 4 million homes short, and that shortage continues to grow. One real estate investment firm interviewed by Stahl states that they list, on average, 200 to 300 homes for rent each week, and receive 10,000 leasing inquiries weekly.
Not-So-Hidden Wealth Redistribution
As noted in a tweet by Cultural Husbandry:
“This is wealth redistribution, and it ain’t rich people’s wealth that is getting redistributed. It’s the normal American middle class, salt of the earth wealth heading into the hands of the world’s most powerful entities and individuals. The traditional financial vehicle [is] gone forever.
Home equity is the main financial element that middle class families use to build wealth, and BlackRock, a federal reserve funded financial institution is buying up all the houses to make sure that young families can’t build wealth … This is a fundamental reorganization of society.”
Indeed, and it’s right in line with plans for societal reorganization described under banners such as The Great Reset, Build Back Better, Agenda 21 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (www.youtu.be/VxqXf6gDPmI).
These agendas all work together toward the same goal, which is a global monopoly on ownership and wealth, with a clear separation of the haves and have nots; the owners and the owned; the rulers and the ruled; the elite and the serfs.
‘Sustainable Development’ Agenda Is a Plan to Enslave You
The war against private property goes back decades. In 1976, during the first United Nations’ Conference on Human Settlements, called Habitat 1, the U.N. stated, in Item 10:
“Land … cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. Public control of land use Is therefore indispensable.”
The idea, apparently, is that private investment firms like Vanguard and BlackRock can prevent social injustice by buying up all private property and renting it out. This way, no one (except their investors) can build wealth. (www./youtu.be/rTE-3Fl7wgg)
“Private Property and freedom are inseparable.” ~ George Washington
This is what “equity” is all about, and it has nothing to do with equality. “Social equity” is incredibly unfair, as it strips those with talent and drive of the ability to make something out of themselves.
Private Property and Freedom Are Inseparable
The UN’s Human Settlements agenda, Agenda 21 and the 2030 Sustainable Development agenda are in direct conflict with the U.S. Bill of Rights and the founding principles of this country. George Washington declared, “Private Property and freedom are inseparable.” Similarly, John Adams stated that “Property must be secure, or liberty cannot exist.”

If I had my druthers, I'd own the whole universe but health care and education would be free, universal basic income would be enacted, all drugs legalized, and to make society truly free, everyone would have the right to painless suicide at any time.
Tons of therapy and counseling for troubled people but with all the factories and most of the food and hospitality replaced by robots, people will naturally gravitate towards health and therapy jobs anyway
UBI will wipe out most of the inequality issues, people will be able to see farther than month to month, I think folks would be less stressed out overall and more likely to work together, I think a lot of violent crime will go away when no ones starving to death.
And I'd wear a ring and never hurt any of y'all
Vote for me, universal overlord 2024!

Simple universal health care would basically eliminate the wealth disparity. Owning a yacht isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

But then we wouldn’t have landlords! And all the happy renters would be forced to own their homes.

Not a major part of the article. Yet I laugh whenever I see the ongoing demonization of meat. Meat kills people. Meat is ruining the planet. Etc
... executive director of the UN Environment Program, Maurice Strong, stated
“Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class, involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and workplace air-conditioning, and suburban housing, are not sustainable.”

I disagree. It would create a better climate for perspective new entrepreneurs to take the plunge, since their children could at least go to the doctor without employer provided health insurance. It could make a little dent, but wealth disparity is a Himalayan Mountain sized obstacle that is going nowhere without fundamental systemic progressive change across the board. That won't happen.
All I can see realistically is universal healthcare eventually that helps the poor, has mixed results for the middle, and the rich can afford to buy their own private care outside of any new socialized arrangement. The only other progressive thing that will fly is bailing out Social Security enough to avoid cuts. That will cost the rich a little, and will only happen because old people still have the highest voter participation rates, and they turn into single issue voters on that issue.

they do not buy singlefamily homes directly that is true. but to say they dont buy them is bullshit as they indirectly buy them and they also loan on portfolios containing them.
so they do infact OWN single family homes. the fact that they do not directly purchase them is irrelivant.

As it turns out, the vast majority of the world’s assets are owned by just two investment firms — BlackRock and the Vanguard Group.
This is from OP’s article and is a completely insane lie. Anyone reading that article should stop reading as soon as they read something so demonstrably false. You are not being informed. You are being lied to.

Do you mean that BlackRock owns many subsidiaries and shell companies and they buy real estate through them?
And can I ask you how you came to know this stuff? I heard about them from druthers.net for the first time only very recently.

This has been common knowledge through the pandemic. Pretty much since the time that zillow crashed and burned due tot heir house flipping business, it has been discussed about investment firms buying single family housing. I would like to mention that in this discussion, supply side factors are the main culprit. In the US, it is simply less profitable to build starter houses due to how most municipalities regulate new construction. If a builders cost for an entry level is 215k that sells for 250k and for a mcmansion cost is 250k and sells for 700k, well if I can sell that 700k house that is what I will build. Not to absolve the companies turning single family homes into rentals, but I'd rather fix the root cause than apply bandaids.

it is interesting that rotational regenerative agriculture can improve the environment while producing meat that needs less antibiotics and in many climates requires no feed. that it produces more meat per acre than conventional farming methods lowers costs, sequesters carbon and builds soil.
cheaper...healthier meat that is good for the environment.
and none of the green folks want to acknowledge that it even exists.
the data is there. salatin style beef is better for the environment than tofu.

False. The methane stored in the mountain’s glaciers is being released because the glacier is melting due to global warming.
And 41 tons of methane is nothing compared to what is released due to meat farming. Cows alone release more 2.5 million tons of methane per day.
Let’s be very clear about this because there are a lot of uneducated and low information NPCs out there: Volcanoes are not a significant source of greenhouse gases compared to human activity.

not the media... not the green initiative... some LEVEL headed PEOPLE.
i mean a ton of books and a few studies have been written on it. theres NO DOUBT salatin himself has changed his farm for the better and very clearly if you ever go there (i have) and you drive up and see his neighbors farm before his, its absolutely dramatic contrast.
