There's no place for institutional finance in rental markets. It's a predatory extraction machine that robs the poor and middle. But one thing I'd add: we should stop calling these people "investors". They don't "invest". They buy up and milk existing assets. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If there is one lesson to draw from the history of fascism in the interwar period in Europe, it is this: Democracy falls if and when mainstream conservatives and centrist/center-right elites decide to make common cause with extremists because they consider the “radical Left” the more acute threat.
