65 to 70 percent of the country consistently say in polling that the nation is on the wrong track. A famous billionaire will be cited below who said the paraphrased headline remark: ‘I Don’t Want a Nation of Thinkers, I Want a Nation of Workers.’ There is plenty of blame to go around, but let’s save blame or embarrassment for another time. The first step in problem solving is understanding the problem, said Zig Ziglar. The genius Albert Einstein shared two related quips. “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Einstein also said: “If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about the solutions.” That can be rephrased like this: to keep doing the same things the same way fits the popular definition of insanity.

Understanding is necessary to properly solve a problem, any problem, period.  Those points are true for the growing problem of a lack of affordable housing in the U.S. These notions are also true for a broader range of human experiences, as this foundational news-analysis will explore.

Part I – What Fortune Said About Affordable Housing Crisis

According to a new report on left-leaning Fortune: “What the Fed did,” Redfin’s CEO Glenn Kelman said, “will have a 30-year tail on it. There’s going to be low supply for a long time to come unless America really gets [religious] again about building houses.” Also per that same source are the following insights.

The Federal Reserve has a dual mandate: maximum employment and price stability. When inflation began creeping up (eventually hitting a four-decade high), the Fed took action. The Fed raised interest rates 11 times in less than two years, and as a result, mortgage rates skyrocketed. The historically low mortgage rates people were used to, were gone. So anyone who locked in a below-market rate, or were simply mortgage free, held onto their homes because to sell would mean giving up an insanely low rate that may never return.

What that’s done is exacerbate an existing housing supply crunch. The country is missing anywhere between two million and seven million homes. The lock-in effect only made that worse by curbing for-sale inventory, despite there being some demand. The housing market froze, and existing home sales fell to their lowest point in almost 30 years. Things have improved since, but we’re not in the clear by any means, and there will likely be reverberations felt across the housing market for decades,” wrote Alena Botros. She quoted Kelman saying the following.

“We need more listings, especially of single-family homes,” he said. “Consumer demand is still strong enough that prices keep going up. Home affordability is the big issue for almost every homeowner and every potential homebuyer. We need more supply.”

Botros’ report on Kellman’s take dovetail in several respects with another report that MHProNews recently covered. The right-leaning Daily Signal, Watchdog.org/The Center Square pointed to similar facts and factors that have led to the dramatic increase in housing costs. As their report indicated, would be homeowners need 80 precent more income to qualify today than they did just 4 years ago.  While these facts create potential opportunities for manufactured housing (see the first report below for details), that potential is obviously not being properly tapped.  The evidence for that is found in the facts produced that reveal how new HUD Code manufactured home production crashed for some 15 months before that sharp slide finally flattened out and slightly rose year-over-year in January 2024. Note that while Botros pegged that housing shortage at 2 to 7 million units, based on an array of previously cited sources MHProNews suspects that the shortage is more in the 6-to-10-million-unit range.  But in any event, there is widespread agreement that the shortage is massive. As the report linked here reveals in a brief summary of cited sources, conventional construction alone cannot close that housing gap. At this moment in time, the only proven technology that can close the housing shortage gap in a cost-effective fashion in a sufficient volume is HUD Code manufactured homes. Which means that the manufactured home industry’s poor performance is all the more troubling.

Watchdog.org Spotlights ‘Inflation Woes’ Study – ‘Would Be Homeowners Need 80% More Income to Buy Than 4 Years Ago’ But Incomes Up Only 23 Percent, More MHVille Facts with Analysis; MHEquities Fall

Part II – Progressives and the Lack of Progress in Affordable Housing 

Another quick example will help set the table for what follows. For decades, there have been those in power who have said that the problems we face are so complex that we need bigger government and more taxed and borrowed money to do the required fixes. We as a nation needed experts, or so the “progressives” have often claimed.

• But if that were true, then why is it that with bigger promises, plenty of experts, and record spending, the current party in power has only delivered worse outcomes for the vast majority of the U.S. population?
• Another question ought to be: who benefits from the status quo? The answer will seem obvious to some, but MHProNews will spell it out.

Before proceeding, let’s note as a useful disclosure that MHProNews’ parent organization is managed by political independents, who for over a decade have not been registered with either major party, nor any minor ones. That isn’t said to encourage others to be independents, because frankly, depending on a person’s state, there may be advantages to be registered with this or that party. Being an independent politically is simply a fact to be considered in digesting what follows.

That said, an author on Forbes aptly noted that before you even start Einstein’s 55 minutes, someone must: “First, prepare yourself, physically, intellectually, and emotionally.” Here is what that remark should mean.

You may find that your beliefs are being confirmed in this report with analysis. If so, fine. But if you find that some aspect of your thinking is revealed as flawed based on evidence, known facts, and clear thinking, guess what? Some degree of change will be needed. As a disclosure for new readers, this writer had to make several changes over the years, based on new evidence and understanding.

To paraphrase an old adage: “If I can change my thinking and behavior, then you can change your thinking and behavior too.”

• Why is it that the so-called Establishment elites are benefiting from the past few years, when Democrats – who currently dominate the federal government – promised a more equitable society?
• Did you see the rich actually being taxed more during the first 3 plus years of Biden-Harris, as Democrats have talked about doing for years on end?
• Did you see the poor or working classes benefit more in the last few years?
• Nor are social problems limited to Democrats. There is at least periodic help for Democrats from some so-called “establishment” or RINO Republicans too. Some more definitions and linked evidence to these points will follow later in this article that may clarify notions for those who might benefit from them.

The Biden-Harris ticket made numerous promises in the runup to the 2020 election.  But what has been the obvious outcome? After three full years in office, from sources that span the left-right spectrum, the facts are clear. The rich have gotten richer, even though Democrats claim to be the party of the poor, minorities, disadvantaged, retirees, and the working class. The majority of Americans are effectively poorer. The ability to buy an affordable home has been undermined, as sources cited in Part I above demonstrated.

Most of the population, regardless of political – or no political party affiliation – have suffered under so-called “Bidenomics.” Who says? Even left-leaning sources such as FactCheck.

Bidenomics and Biden-Harris policies feature higher prices, higher interest rates, more overseas conflicts, largely open borders, massive levels of illegal immigration, rising federal debt, and more money being spent on federal debt service. Because the dollar has been untethered to a gold or silver standard for decades, what is commonly called the effects of ‘inflation’ – more specifically, a loss of purchasing power for the ‘paper’ dollar – has become a common feature of U.S. society. Other nations may have similar issues.

Bigger and Smaller Trends Impact Everyday Americans, Including Migrants

That noted, each one of those megatrends undermine working people in numerous ways. But let’s focus on migrants for a few moments, which currently is a top issue in the U.S., per public opinion polling.

• Millions have entered the U.S. illegally since Biden-Harris took office.
• Some migrants crossing the southern border with Mexico die making the trip.
• Numbers of those migrants are raped.
• Some of those illegal immigrants are forced into sex or drug trafficking. These are well established facts.
• Regardless of sanctuary city, state, or de facto federal policies, the fate of those illegal migrants is quite different – more precarious in some ways – than those who have entered the U.S. legally.

So, while a lure has been created using nonprofits, social media, and other mechanisms that has attracted millions into entering the U.S. in the past 3 years, the more honest migrants (because some have reportedly been released from jails from countries like Venezuela) are seemingly pawns in what might be called a big shell game.

So, don’t let some talking heads or social media posts try to persuade you that it is ‘compassionate’ to hurt your fellow citizens – who are footing the bill for the costs of these trends. Meanwhile, millions of those migrants are also suffering as a result of this deceptive scheme too.

Furthermore, those illegal immigrants are potentially going to be deported at some point in time.  All of the costs, social risks, and ripple effects of this ‘opening’ of the border that occurred as a result of dozens of executive orders signed by Joe Biden reversing Trump-era border policies could end up for naught for those who have been ‘compassionately’ lured into making the treacherous trip to the U.S.A.

Additionally, there is evidence that people on the terrorist watch list, military age single men, people with various illnesses that would normally be screened out by a normal legal immigration process before being allowed into our country.

Note that the fact that numbers of Blacks, Hispanics and others who may have a lower income and less resources recognize that this steady flow of migrants appear to be hurting their interests should not be overlooked. For a variety of reasons, the traditional Democratic coalition is under pressure in 2024, again per surveys from left- and right-leaning sources.

To better understand the shell game that has been played for years, some pull quotes from various other writers will follow. As with anyone or organization quoted on MHProNews, it is important to separate the proverbial wheat from the chaff.

Hundreds of billions of dollars annually are being spent by federal officials, under the Biden-Harris era policies that routinely reversed policies during the Trump Administration.  Those hundreds of billions could be saved or put to other issues.

It is your future. The future that you, your friends or loved ones will have shall been determined in part by what is done, or not done, today.

Don’t turn your eyes or close your mind to the insights and realties being described. Closing one’s eyes to reality isn’t safe, it is dangerous. It also plays into the hands of the very people who seek to manipulate trusting souls.

While MHProNews and MHLivingNews have reported on these topics off and on for years, it is useful to see what others have said about these issues.

In no particular order of importance are quotes from the following. While most of the following are recent articles, some are flashbacks to the Obama-Biden era. Meaning, these are not new developments, but rather the woes of the past few years make them fresh or even urgent insights for those who want to change course. Insights from the political left and right will follow.

• “Our Fake, Fake, Fake World” by J.B. Shurk.
• Oxfam and Noam Chomsky recaps.
• Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) insights.
• Celebrity Democratic Millionaires.
• “How Did The Democrats Become The Party Of The Rich?” By Steven F. Hayward.

MHProNews will provide those excerpts in a somewhat different sequence than what those bullets shown above reflect.

Part III

To set the stage for what follows, some definitions, promised above, are useful. This first Q&A is from 3.16.2024 at about 4:42 AM ET using the balanced or “blue” setting on Bing’s AI powered Copilot. That is our standard use of Copilot. This is a fresh thread, not a continuation of another one.

1)

> “Bing, is it fair to say that left-leaning tends to be more Democratic in orientation, and that right leaning tends to be more Republican or conservative?”

With that backdrop, let’s dive into a prior Q&A with Copilot to gather insights from both the left and the right. Keep in mind that for time, about 65 to 70 percent of the population believes that the nation is on the ‘wrong track.’ That may imply that there is room for common ground.

2) In a Q&A with left-leaning Bing AI powered Copilot are the following insights.

> “Oxfam and Noam Chomsky in Requiem for the American Dream both seem to point a finger at the wealthy, the 1 percent, the billionaires, their corporate, big tech, and big media interests. Provide a snapshot of their respective thoughts.”

Certainly! Let’s delve into the perspectives of Oxfam and Noam Chomsky as portrayed in Requiem for the American Dream:

1. Noam Chomsky:
   • Chomsky, widely regarded as one of the most influential intellectuals of our time, reflects on the current state of inequality in the United States.
   • He observes that while the Great Depression was a challenging period, there was a sense of hopefulness because people believed things would improve. However, today’s inequality is unprecedented.
   • The extreme wealth disparity primarily stems from a tiny fraction of the population—the top 1/10th of a percent—who possess immense riches.
   • Chomsky emphasizes that this inequality not only perpetuates injustice but also corrodes democracy. The American Dream, once associated with class mobility, has eroded. Workers could previously aspire to decent jobs, homeownership, and education for their children, but these opportunities have collapsed¹.
   • He describes a vicious cycle: Concentration of wealth leads to concentration of power, which, in turn, influences legislation to further increase wealth concentration. This cycle undermines democracy and favors major corporations¹.
2. Oxfam (as represented in the documentary):
   • Oxfam, an international confederation of charitable organizations, focuses on global poverty and inequality.
   • Their analysis aligns with Chomsky’s concerns about wealth concentration.
   • Oxfam highlights the alarming fact that a small group of billionaires holds an extraordinary share of the world’s wealth.
   • They emphasize the need for systemic change to address inequality, including fair taxation, corporate accountability, and policies that benefit the majority rather than the super-rich.
   • Oxfam’s work aims to raise awareness and advocate for policies that promote economic justice and reduce disparities²³.

In summary, both Chomsky and Oxfam underscore the urgent need to address wealth inequality and its impact on society, democracy, and the American Dream. …”

3) From the left-leaning Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), which produces “Inequality” are these insights.

> “Okay. The Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) produces a report and hosts a website called “Inequality.” What are some key points from that organization and how do they compare with what Oxfam and Chomsky has said?”

4) So, there are several common points between what the above left-leaning sources – Oxfam, Chomsky, and IPS – have observed as to causes of U.S. ills. Each has advocated for certain solutions, which it should be noted, may or may not prove to be actual solutions. New readers, MHProNews and/or MHLivingNews have reported on these and others, as may become apparent as this article develops.

That said, let’s pivot to the next factual insights.

> “Celebrity Net Worth did a report entitled the Top 50 Richest Democrats. Provide several examples, with 10 to 15 of the wealthiest Democrats.”

Certainly! Here are 10 of the wealthiest Democrats, along with their estimated net worth:

1. Teresa Heinz Kerry: A Portuguese-American philanthropist, heiress, and businesswoman. She has a net worth of $750 million. Teresa Heinz Kerry is the widow of John Heinz, a primary heir to the H.J. Heinz company¹.
2. Jane Harman: The former U.S. Representative from California’s 36th Congressional District. Her net worth is estimated at $500 million¹.
3. Herb Kohl: An American businessman and politician. He has a net worth of $400 million. Herb Kohl is the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks NBA team¹.
4. Jared Polis: An American politician, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. His net worth is approximately $400 million. Jared Polis is one of the richest politicians in America¹.
5. Al Gore: A former senator, Vice President, environmental activist, and entrepreneur. His net worth is $300 million. Gore served as Vice President under Bill Clinton¹.
6. John Kerry: An American politician and diplomat. His net worth is $250 million. Kerry is known for being a Senator and the 68th United States Secretary of State¹.
7. John K. Delaney: An American politician and businessman. His net worth is estimated at $230 million¹.
8. Mark Warner: An American politician who has a net worth of $215 million. Warner has served as a senator from Virginia since 2008¹.
9. Maria Shriver: An American journalist, author, and former First Lady of California. Her net worth is $200 million¹.
10. Scott Peters: An American politician with a net worth of $200 million. He is currently a United States Representative¹.

These Democrats have achieved significant wealth through various avenues, including business, politics, and philanthropy. 🏦🌟

For more details, you can explore the full list on Celebrity Net Worth¹. 📊🌐 …”

Note this remark by Copilot: “These Democrats have achieved significant wealth through various avenues, including business, politics, and philanthropy.” That last point is often overlooked, how ‘charitable’ giving by the wealthy may in some respects increase their wealth.

5)  Before proceeding, let’s note that MHProNews doesn’t necessarily agree that the above are the wealthiest Democrats, but the information is per Celebrity Net Worth.  That noted, here are two more items about wealthy Democrats that may surprise some.

> “How much is Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi worth, per that same source?”

Certainly! According to Celebrity Net Worth, here are the estimated net worths of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi:

1. Hillary Clinton:
   • Net Worth: $120 million
   • Hillary Clinton is an American politician, author, and media personality. She served as the First Lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001, a United States Senator for New York from 2001 to 2009, and the Secretary of State under President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2013. She was also the Democratic Party’s nominee for president in the 2016 election ¹.
2. Nancy Pelosi:
   • Net Worth: $120 million
   • Nancy Pelosi is the only woman in U.S. history to hold the position of Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. She has served in this role from 2007 to 2011 and again beginning in 2019 until 2023 ².

Both Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi have achieved substantial wealth through their political careers, investments, and other assets. 🏦🌟

For more details, you can explore the full source on Celebrity Net Worth ¹. 📊🌐…”

Keep in mind that it was widely reported when the Clinton’s exited the White House that they were ‘broke.’ True or exaggerated, the Clintons became wealthy in the years since. Recall that line from #3 above: “These Democrats have achieved significant wealth through various avenues, including business, politics, and philanthropy.”

6)

> “A decade ago, Forbes published an article entitled “How Did The Democrats Become The Party Of The Rich?” Provide some insights from that op-ed.”

Certainly! Let’s explore insights from the Forbes article titled “How Did The Democrats Become The Party Of The Rich?” and compare them with the perspectives of Oxfam and Noam Chomsky:

1. Forbes Insights:
   • The article delves into the transformation of the Democratic Party’s base over time.
   • During the mid-1960s, the Democratic Party’s traditional support from the white working class began to shift toward the Republican Party. This marked the gradual collapse of the New Deal coalition.
   • Senior Democrats recognized the need to attract new constituencies to replace the voters they were losing.
   • The article doesn’t explicitly blame the Democrats for becoming the party of the rich but rather highlights the changing demographics and political landscape¹.
2. Comparison with Oxfam and Noam Chomsky:
   • While Forbes focuses on demographic shifts, Oxfam and Chomsky emphasize wealth concentration and inequality.
   • Oxfam highlights the party’s booming support among affluent professionals, which aligns with the trend observed by Forbes.
   • Chomsky’s perspective on economic inequality and its impact on democracy resonates with the concerns raised by both Forbes and Oxfam.
   • All three entities recognize the need for the Democratic Party to address economic disparities and appeal to a broader base²³.

In summary, while Forbes provides insights into the changing composition of the Democratic Party, Oxfam and Chomsky offer broader critiques related to wealth, power, and economic justice. …”

7)  Note that the abbreviation MHI below is not the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI), but is rather Median Household Income.  That said, consider the following.

> “You linked an article [above] from Unherd that was also about the Democratic Party becoming the party of the wealthy. Who was the author of that article and what are some insights from that op-ed?”

Certainly! The article titled “How the Democrats Became the Party of the Rich” on UnHerd was authored by Matthew Thomas. Let’s delve into some key insights from that op-ed:

1. Shift in Class Composition:
   • Between 2008 and 2020, the class composition of the Democratic presidential primary electorate underwent significant changes.
   • Poor and working-class voters have shrunk as a share of the Democratic electorate, while middle-class and affluent voters have grown.
   • Counties with a median household income (MHI) under $60,000/year contributed 28.6% of the primary vote in 2020, down from 35.3% in 2008.
   • Meanwhile, counties with an MHI over $80,000/year rose to 30.7% (from 24.5%), with substantial growth in counties where the MHI exceeds $100,000/year.
   • This transformation was particularly striking in states like Virginia, where the poorest counties’ share of the vote declined significantly while the richest counties’ contribution increased¹.
2. Reasons for Change:
   • Two perspectives explain this shift:
     • Cultural Aesthetic vs. Economic Agenda:
       • Some argue that the cultural aesthetic of liberal professionals has become toxic among voters without a college degree.
       • Others believe the Democratic Party lost credibility with working-class voters by failing to pursue a robust economic agenda.
     • Centrist vs. Left Approach:
       • The former perspective suggests Democrats should move toward the center on culture.
       • The latter urges them to move left on economics.
   • Ideally, Democrats should address both aspects to regain their appeal across different demographics¹.

In summary, the article highlights the gentrification of the Democratic Party, the changing voter base, and the need for a balanced approach to address economic disparities and cultural concerns¹. …”

Again, keep in mind that MHProNews is not necessarily endorsing the views of the suggested “solutions” of these various quoted sources. Rather, the initial purpose here is to simply lay out the thinking of these various cited sources. Because many point to some very similar foundational issues that are grounded in observable facts, rather than mere opinion.

That noted, MHProNews will now present some human (this author) sourced quotes as follows.

8)

The right-leaning Forbes article noted above entitled “How Did The Democrats Become The Party Of The Rich?” was authored by Steven F. Hayward.

Consider the following pull-quotes from Hayward’s article in Forbes.

In the economic crisis of the 1930s, the rich hated FDR. Most of today’s rich love Barack Obama—so much so that Washington D.C. area airports ran out of space to handle all of the private jets flying in the well-heeled for both of his inaugurals. Forget the “limousine liberals” of the 1960s and 1970s, sending their own kids to private schools while advocating forced busing for everyone else; behold today’s burgeoning class of “Gulfstream liberals,” who jet about the globe while fretting about global warming.

What accounts for this astonishing state of affairs, and what does it mean for our politics in this age of supposed concern over economic inequality?”

…labor unions (along with trial lawyers) still provide the majority of the Democratic Party’s campaign funds and organizational muscle on election day, but it is the super rich of Silicon Valley and Wall Street, combined with the super rich of Hollywood, who command the priority attention of Democratic Party leaders these days. Of the ten richest zip codes in the U.S. eight gave more money to Democrats than Republicans in the last two presidential cycles. President Obama doesn’t go to union halls to host fundraisers; he goes to posh Wall Street townhomes, the Hollywood hills, or to Tom Steyer’s house in Pacific Heights. Steyer, a billionaire investor and wannabe George Soros, is the perfect model of today’s rich liberal, and shows where the balance of power on the Left rests today. Organized labor wants the Keystone pipeline built; Steyer, who imbibes deeply the green Kool Aid, is adamantly against Keystone. Note who Obama is siding with.”

Hayward then pivots to specific billionaires well known to regular readers of MHProNews/MHLivingNews. Warren Buffett and William “Bill” Gates III.

Yes, but haven’t many of the leading plutocrats, such as Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, embraced higher income taxes? Yes, they have, but one important fact has escaped notice: higher income tax rates will not touch the bulk of the fortunes of today’s plutocrats, for the simple reason that the great bulk of the accumulated wealth of Gates, Buffett, Silicon Valley and Wall Street consists of appreciated asset values—not ordinary income. Few seem to be aware that most of this wealth has never been taxed, and in the case of Buffett and Gates, who are taking advantage of the charitable foundation laws, will never be taxed.”

Note Hayward’s insightful sentence: “Few seem to be aware that most of this wealth has never been taxed, and in the case of Buffett and Gates, who are taking advantage of the charitable foundation laws, will never be taxed.”

Back to more pull-quotes.

• “Most of today’s super rich liberals are financiers and entrepreneurs, like Google founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin.”
• “…today’s elitist, technocratic liberalism appeals to their superficial intellectual vanity. As a one-time critic of the new super rich once put it, “they found it hard to imagine that there might be any social ill that could not be cured with a high SAT score.” (That critic was Barack Obama, in The Audacity of Hope.)”

An arguable weak point in Hayward’s article is this on why Democrats aren’t calling for a ‘wealth tax.’ Since that article, some of the same people he noted that hadn’t – Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders – have done so. But what is missing from Hayward’s article are words like paltering, preening, and projecting.

Let’s pause and emphasize the following from Hayward’s column.

“…haven’t many of the leading plutocrats, such as Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, embraced higher income taxes? Yes, they have, but one important fact has escaped notice: higher income tax rates will not touch the bulk of the fortunes of today’s plutocrats, for the simple reason that the great bulk of the accumulated wealth of Gates, Buffett, Silicon Valley and Wall Street consists of appreciated asset values—not ordinary income. Few seem to be aware that most of this wealth has never been taxed, and in the case of Buffett and Gates, who are taking advantage of the charitable foundation laws, will never be taxed.”

Now, recall the point made by Copilot in #3 above again, quoting:

“These Democrats have achieved significant wealth through various avenues, including business, politics, and philanthropy.”

From #5 above:

“Both Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi have achieved substantial wealth through their political careers, investments, and other assets.”

A picture ought to be emerging for keen minded readers, but MHProNews will spell it out. There are apparent intersections between big business, big media, big tech, big politics, big philanthropy, the tax code and wealth generation. Despite the fact that scores of Democrats talk about taxing the wealthy, it becomes apparent that the ‘rich are getting richer’ and the middle and lower classes ‘are getting poorer.’

To those point, the quotes from the next article specifically mentions projecting.

9) In an article on right-leaning American Thinker entitled: “Our Fake, Fake, Fake World” by J.B. Shurk. In a bio on the right-leaning Federalist, where he is a contributor that is likely self-authored, J.B. Shurk is described as “a freedom-minded, anti-establishment, sometimes unorthodox, committed generalist and a proud American from Daniel Boone country.”

MHProNews notes again that in the above, or the articles and sources quoting below, it should not be construed that quoting the sources implies an agreement with all that they have said, written, or done.

That said, some pull quotes from Shurk. Bold is added by MHProNews.

America’s commitment to individual liberty, private property, and free speech once distinguished it from all other countries in the world.  When it began betraying those commitments and exporting a brand of “rules-based international order” scarcely different from those devised under monarchical empires of the past, it became a global ambassador for fake freedom.”

The men who changed the course of human history with the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights understood that the promotion of learning across all social classes simultaneously promotes individual liberty over government tyranny.  Destroying a ruling class’s monopoly on knowledge destroys its monopoly on power.

Note that knowledge is the key here — not the mere obtainment of some fancy degree.  Neither Abraham Lincoln nor Thomas Edison had much in the way of formal education, but both were highly educated men who profoundly shaped this country.  Mark Twain’s humorous wit is not less remarkable because he never attended high school, nor is the prose of John Steinbeck or William Faulkner less incisive because neither finished college.  Degrees mean nothing if the knowledge that they represent is fake.”

Fake educations and fake degrees have instead produced a society ill-equipped to fight for individual liberty against the threats of resurgent government tyranny.  Fake experts maintain authority only when citizens lack the intellectual discernment to object.  It’s as if the government’s funding of fake intellectuals has been part of the “progressive” plan all along.”

• “The government’s stranglehold over thinking people is already crumbling.”

Vladimir Lenin ominously boasted, “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”  John D. Rockefeller selfishly insisted, “I don’t want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers.”  These sentiments have destroyed American genius and resiliency for the last century, and the harm that they have caused cannot be undone overnight.  A nation taught not to think for itself is a nation that knows no other course of action than to obey.”

Long-slumbering populations awaken from their State-induced hypnotic trance much like a hungry bear does from hibernation — shaky at first but ferocious in short order.  Just as Central European countries trapped behind the Iron Curtain rebelled against the fake premises of Soviet communism, freedom-minded peoples of the West are already rebelling against the fake premises of the World Economic Forum’s “climate change” communism and “build back better” buffoonery.  They will not eat the bugs or censor their own speech.  They are not willing to let Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, and other fake experts control their lives with CBDCs and digital IDs.  They are not willing to live in a national security surveillance State that provides their children with fake futures.  …”

Shurk said at the top of his article the following.

Will our historical era be remembered as the “Age of Fakes”?  We have fake news, fake meat, fake elections, fake genders, fake vaccines, fake budgets, fake democracy, fake truths, fake hate, fake Russian collusion, fake insurrections, fake climate emergencies, fake freedoms, fake outrage, fake speech crimes, fake money, fake justice, fake intellects, fake women, fake borders, fake wars, and even a fake president.  In some ways, it is a very silly time to be alive.

So much of our fake world has been built on two monstrously fake foundations: fake progress and fake liberalism.” Shurk noted during his article that Gallup surveys reveal that unhappiness is growing around the world, not just in the U.S. He noted too that if these technocrat elites and all of the ‘things’ that modern society were obviously not making people happier. He closed by saying: “This fake “new world order” is not making anybody happy, and as people begin thinking for themselves, they are learning to disobey.”

10) Let’s make a few points based on Shurk’s observations and quotes. In no particular order of importance:

First, it was this quote:

The above was paraphrased in the headline.

Shurk points to education that can either foster critical thinking, or it can be used to undermine critical thinking in favor of what might be called the ‘ruling class.’

Destroying a ruling class’s monopoly on knowledge destroys its monopoly on power.

Consider how the above sheds light on a pull quote that MHProNews/MHLivingNews has used for years from the acclaimed documentary drama: Shadows of Liberty.

11) In fairness, it isn’t as if Shurk (from the right), or Glover (from the left), are the first to make such observations. But each has arguably offered Americans a keen insight that ought not be forgotten.

Let’s tarry a bit and note that our society has become a society of sound bites, memes, and often hyper brief social media posts. There is a place for brevity. But by its essence or nature, a brief remark is obviously not a detailed one. Article like this put meat on the bones and offer people facts and insights that connect the dots on pithy remarks.  Note that as MHProNews has been periodically reporting, in deep dive articles like this one, it is surprising how the site data reveals that these longer articles are popular with readers. MHProNews went from doing often paragraph length, or a few hundred-word length articles, to articles in recent years may be thousands of words. Our audience, people like you, have responded with more reading, with more clicks through to the additional linked content.

That suggests a hunger to better know and understand our world. It is good for those who do so. Because, as we’ve mentioned several times – as critics of much of Warren Buffett’s business, political, and philanthro-feudalistic tactics, he is correct about some things. Reading is one of them. Buffett reads for hours daily, or so he says. There are good reasons to believe that is largely true.  It is said he reads about 5 to 6 hours daily.

Part IV Additional Information with More MHProNews Analysis

At about 9:41 AM ET, MHProNews asked Bing’s AI Powered Copilot the following in a new thread. That fact check by Copilot was for everything above.  Note that Copilot is correct in saying that a factual inaccuracy exists in information about a statement made by George W. “Mac” McCarthy, a point that MHProNews itself reported on, McCarthy confirmed, and which Copilot also cited in its response. Meaning, the Copilot fact check is reasonably insightful.

1)

Copilot, I’d like you to scan this article linked here and see if you find any factual errors or out of context quotes. https://www.manufacturedhomepronews.com/billionaire-said-i-dont-want-a-nation-of-thinkers-i-want-a-nation-of-workers-housing-unaffordability-impacts-your-future-problems-causes-cures-buffett-gates-tips-on-u-s-an/

1 manufacturedhomepronews.com 2 manufacturedhomepronews.com 3 writersdigest.com 4 poynter.org 5 cnbc.com…”

2) It is noteworthy that Copilot said (emphasis added): “the article [i.e.: this article you are reading] contains a corrected factual error related to mobile home parks, but no out-of-context quotes were identified. Always exercise critical thinking and fact-checking when reading any content.” That last line is a different way of saying the wheat should be separated from the chaff, as was noted above. MHProNews takes pains to provide factually accurate, properly credited, and precisely quoted content.  Copilot in prior fact checks has said that MHProNews and MHLivingNews are important sources for accurate information in manufactured housing. It has made those remarks and observations even though Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett, are clearly tied to the parent company that provides Copilot.

 

3). MHProNews began this report noting that understanding the problem is an essential part of problem solving. You can’t solve a problem using the same sort of thinking that led to the creation of the problem.

With the above in mind, those who wish to dive deeper into these issues, see the related reports that follow.
