There is an axiom on how a seemingly big task should be approached or ‘tackled.’ It’s this. ‘How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.’ There is another axiom from the brilliant British thinker, popular author and speaker, the late Gilbert Keith (G.K.) Chesterton. Chesterton said: “If […]
It is almost axiomatic that no two people see eye-to-eye on everything. Imagine, for a few moments, identical twins that you may have met. Or a happily married couple that have been together for years and years. Or partners in a successful business enterprise. No one you have ever met,
“I’d urge MHI, the manufactured housing industry’s self-proclaimed post-production sector’s national rep, to recognize the window of opportunity that Trump 2.0 and Secretary Turner could mean for consumers. Logically, if something benefits millions of potential affordable housing/manufactured home consumers, that can obviously benefit producers, retailers, investors and others.” So said

Let’s be clear. Problems impacting manufactured housing (MH) are broadly from two sources: various pressures from outside of the industry and inside the arguably artificially diminished manufactured home profession (a.k.a. MHVille). The Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) can’t be blamed for everything. That said, it is MHI’s stated mission for them
Words have meaning. The definition of words matters. When it comes to matters of law, words may take on a special meaning. For the better part of a decade, MHProNews has reported on issues that may arguably relate to financial and white collar crimes that can involve the abridgment of

MHProNews uniquely spotlighted for some months in 2024 the insider trading that had been occurring among certain specific firms that happen to be publicly traded members of the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI).

According to the press release by Congressional Representatives Mike Flood (NE-R) and Brittany Pettersen (CO-D) a bipartisan group of lawmakers in both the House and Senate (i.e.: bicameral) has introduced what is called the “Housing Supply Frameworks Act.” Rep.

As left-leaning Matt Stoller noted as cited in the report provided in Part I by right-leaning the WND News Center, Google violated the tying provision of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. As regular and detail-minded readers of MHProNews may recall, that tying provision is what consumer advocate
On this day in history, a dear compatriot of mine turned 75. Per Britanica, also on April 18 are the following items in Part I about this day in history, but they missed a big one, which yours truly will edit address in Part II as the reason why this
