Episode: Jason Staples and Stephen Carlson try to ruin your Nativity! Jason discusses Stephen's essay "The Accommodations of Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem: Κατάλυμα in Luke 2:7." They also discuss when and how Mary and Joseph get married, the census in Luke 2:2, and ... (wait for it) ... the Spanish Inquisition.  Guest: Dr. Stephen Carlson is Associate Professor in the Biblical and Early Christian Studies program at the Australian Catholic University. He's the author of three books, The Gospel Hoax: Morton Smith's Invention of Secret Mark (Baylor, 2007), which debunked the "Secret Gospel of Mark"; The Text of Galatians and its History (Mohr Siebeck, 2014), which applied state-of-the-art computer phylogenetic software he wrote himself to produce a family tree of ninety-two manuscripts and witnesses of Galatians; and Papias of Hierapolis' Exposition of Dominical Oracles (Oxford, 2021), the most complete edition of the fragments of Papias of Hierapolis, a second-century Christian commentator. He is also the author of numerous peer-reviewed journal articles, including his article on the so-called "inn" in Luke's infancy account (under discussion in this episode) and essays on the donkeys in Matthew's triumphal entry: Stephen C. Carlson, “‘The Jenny and the Colt' in Matthew's Messianic Entry, Part 1: Matthew 21:5 as a Reading of Zechariah 9:9 in Light of Mark 11:1-10,” in the Catholic Biblical Quarterly, volume 81, number 1 (January 2019), pages 62-84 (link).

In the summer of 1924, a railroad worker was found dead near tracks in Little Rock. Weeks later, his wife was found dead in another state. What followed was a series of headlines that pointed to one woman—Winona Spriggs. Her name would appear again and again over the next fifty years, linked to crime, escape, and murder. This is the story of a family broken, and of the woman who never stopped running. Join the Community on Patreon Want more Southern Mysteries?

The enrollment or registration at the time of Jesus’ birth referred to in the Gospel of Luke isn't recorded historically, but Christians believe it probably took place under a kind of extraordinary command authority that Roman official Quirinius possessed during his military maneuvers in Cilicia or possibly during a brief earlier stint as governor in Syria.

This is the final episode of 2026! I hope you have enjoyed the show this year and also hope you have a great holiday season and happy new year. In this episode, I sit down with former Census Bureau Director Rob Santos to talk about the state of federal statistics, what's threatening the quality and independence of federal data, and why surveys like the American Community Survey and decennial census matter more than ever. We dig into how census data are collected, how political appointees interact with career staff, and why attempts to limit data collection or redefine who gets counted can undermine everything from policy to local decision-making. Rob also reflects on his approach to diversity, communication, and public engagement while leading the Census Bureau. We close by looking ahead at what modernization should look like for federal statistical agencies in the years to come.Keywords: Census Bureau, federal data, Rob Santos, statistical agencies, data quality, survey response rates, American Community Survey, decennial census, federal statistics, data integrity, data collection, public trust, policy data, government surveys, uncertainty communication, demographic data, administrative data, data modernizationSubscribe to the PolicyViz Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.Become a patron of the PolicyViz Podcast for as little as a buck a monthFollow me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Substack, Twitter, Website, YouTubeEmail: jon@policyviz.com

Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. — Luke 2:1 The Christmas story is shaped, in part, by a government decision: a census. People in Palestine likely griped about Caesar's decree—and, according to tradition, a Jewish citizen was expected to register in their own ancestral town. That made things inconvenient for Joseph and Mary, who was near the end of her pregnancy. They had to travel about 90 miles (145 km) from Nazareth to Bethlehem, a weeklong journey by donkey.Caesar thought he was counting subjects, but God had a bigger plan. Joseph's ancestral town, Bethlehem, was also known as “the town of David,” and prophecies stated that the Savior would descend from Israel's King David (Isaiah 9:6-7, 11:1-10) and be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). God used a government regulation to prepare the way for Jesus as the promised Messiah and King.It's not uncommon today to hear criticisms about governments. Whether it's taxes, policies, trade regulations, or extra paperwork, people get frustrated with government leaders and their demands. But the Christmas story shows that God works even through government inconveniences to make his salvation known. Jesus came to bring the presence of God to sinful humanity, despite the inconvenient circumstances into which he came.In what ways can you see the Lord working today, despite situations that may be difficult or inconvenient for you? Almighty God, you reign over all things. Open our eyes to see your presence and work, even in situations that we find difficult. For Jesus' sake, Amen.

The story of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph is one of the most recognized narratives in human history. During the Christmas season, it becomes a focal point of faith, culture, and reflection. In recent public conversation, a growing claim circulates that Jesus and His family were refugees or asylum seekers, meant to serve as a direct parallel to contemporary refugee experiences. While this comparison is often used to provoke empathy or social concern, it is historically inaccurate and incomplete when measured against the political and legal realities of the ancient world.In the first century, the Eastern Mediterranean was not divided into modern nations. It was unified under the Roman Empire. Judea, where Jesus was born, was ruled by Herod the Great, a client king installed under Roman oversight. Egypt, where the family later traveled according to the Gospel of Matthew, was a Roman imperial province. Movement from Judea to Egypt did not involve crossing from one sovereign state into another, nor did it require permission, documentation, or recognition by any foreign authority. There was no concept of immigration control that resembles present-day systems, and there was no legal category of asylum as defined in international law after the mid-twentieth century.The journey to Bethlehem, prompted by census requirements, was not migration motivated by danger or opportunity; it was compliance with administrative order. Census relocations were a normal part of life across the empire. People traveled for taxation, commerce, pilgrimage, military obligation, and family reasons, without changing legal identity.The later departure to Egypt, described in Matthew, is framed as a response to threat, specifically Herod's directive to kill newborn males in Bethlehem. This makes the event serious and urgent, but it does not confer the modern status of refugee. A refugee is someone who flees their home and is formally recognized by a different sovereign authority as having a protected status. A person fleeing without recognition or adjudication is displaced, in danger, or in flight—but not, in the legal sense, a refugee. In ancient contexts, exile and flight existed, but they were not processed categories with rights, obligations, or international protections.The biblical narrative also introduces elements not present in most historical cases of displacement. The decision to leave was prompted by divine revelation through a dream. The threat identified was specific to one child, not a generalized attack on a population seeking collective escape. The prophecy believed by Herod and the vision given to Joseph set this event apart from common social or political movement. This was not a civic negotiation or a governmental plea; it was a personal response to spiritual instruction within the context of faith.Understanding this distinction matters because precise language matters. To lift modern terminology and apply it directly to ancient narratives can blur historical reality. The intent behind the comparison may be sincere, but the category is modern, and it assumes systems, borders, and legal definitions that did not exist at that time.The story of the Holy Family remains powerful without translation into modern political language. It speaks to vulnerability, obedience, faith, and protection. It illustrates the collision of power and prophecy, of danger and deliverance, without needing to be framed through the structure of twenty-first century international law.This account may still speak to contemporary crises and human suffering. It may still inform moral views about how we treat strangers or those in need. But it should be acknowledged in the terms in which it took place: internal relocation inside a single empire, motivated by danger, guided by faith, and understood within the spiritual framework of the time.

Jaime's simple, repeatable video frameworks generate high-intent clients 24/7—without fancy equipment or complicated editing. His own channels (and the ones he manages for agents) consistently bring in relocation clients, buyers, and sellers every week. His workflow-driven approach saves time while building real authority. Jaime will break down exactly how agents can duplicate these results and turn YouTube into their #1 lead source.

Tasmania — Australia's island state — is quietly emerging as a home for a small but steadily growing Punjabi community. According to the 2021 Census, 6,137 Tasmanian residents were born in India, and 2,556 people reported Punjabi as the language spoken at home. Tasmania is also officially classified as a regional area, which has made it attractive for many migrants, yet local Punjabi community members insist the real draw is the lifestyle. - ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਦੇ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਛੋਟੇ ਅਤੇ ਘੱਟ ਆਬਾਦੀ ਵਾਲੇ ਰਾਜ ਤਸਮਾਨੀਆ 'ਚ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਭਾਈਚਾਰਾ ਮਜ਼ਬੂਤੀ ਨਾਲ ਵਧ-ਫੁੱਲ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਰਾਜਧਾਨੀ ਹੋਬਾਰਟ 'ਚ ਵੱਸਦੇ ਪੰਜਾਬੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ ਹੈ ਟੂਰਿਸਟ ਇਲਾਕੇ ਹੋਣ ਕਾਰਨ ਇੱਥੇ ਕੁਦਰਤੀ ਸੁੰਦਰਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਸਾਫ਼-ਸੁਥਰੀ, ਸੁਕੂਨ ਭਰੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਦਾ ਮਾਹੌਲ ਹੈ। ਹੋਬਾਰਟ 'ਚ ਵੱਸਦੇ ਪੰਜਾਬੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਰਹਿਣ ਸਹਿਣ, ਪ੍ਰਮੁੱਖ ਕਿੱਤਿਆਂ ਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਗੱਲਾਬਾਤਾਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਜ਼ੁਬਾਨੀ ਇਸ ਪੌਡਕਾਸਟ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਸੁਣੋ।

Stats NZ admits there is work to be done to ensure data collected under the modernised census plan is robust.

Indiana's back on the national radar as lawmakers reopen the congressional map and launch a fierce redistricting battle that could help decide who controls the House of Representatives. Todd explains why he supports revisiting Indiana's districts now, what's really driving the “cheating” and “election rigging” accusations, and how narrow the GOP margin in Congress actually is. He walks through claims that the new map violates the state constitution, hits the myths about gerrymandering and “proportional representation,” and connects it all to a broader fight against the weaponization of government, open borders, and counting illegal aliens in the census. Plus, why conservatives must use every legal political tool available if they want to stop the radical left's agenda.

Stats experts warn the cost of getting government data up to scratch could far outweigh the millions saved by scrapping the Census.

The Quiet Strengths That Carried Them Forward Family history usually arrives in the form of records. Birth dates written in aging ink. Marriage lines in county books. Census entries that capture a single moment in time. Yet when you look past the documents, when you imagine the real lives behind them, you discover something far more meaningful. You learn the quiet positives your ancestors found in life that helped them keep going through hope, hardship, joy, uncertainty, and everything in between. These strengths rarely appear in written form, but they shaped your family line as profoundly as any legal document. They reveal that people in every generation searched for light, even when life was difficult. They looked for meaning in ordinary days. They found joy where others might not see it. They carried love through seasons that challenged them. Because they found these positives and held tightly to them, you are here today. This article is an invitation to reflect on that truth and to see your ancestors not just as names on paper, but as human beings who lived with heart...

Gene responds to thoughtful listener feedback on record-low fertility rates and explores why childcare, IVF, and returning to work for fortysomething mothers can be so economically challenging. He then travels back to ancient Rome to unpack a curious moment after Augustus's victory over Antony and Cleopatra, when treasure flooded into Rome, interest rates plummeted, and land values soared—and explains how this fits neatly into modern monetary economics. Finally, Gene revisits remarkable exchanges between Milton Friedman, Alan Greenspan, and Ronald Reagan that shed fresh light on the perennial debate over the gold standard.Gene would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

Marquette University Political Scientist Phil Rocco has a new book focusing on the 2020 U.S. Census and how the states, localities, and federal government all worked – at times well, at times not quite as well – to conduct the census. This is a fascinating exploration of federalism at work in the American system, with some states putting in place extensive mechanisms to help with the census, which is a national responsibility. Other states did far less; and the national government, which is constitutionally required to execute a census every ten years, approached the census with some controversial requirements, with the federal courts having to make decisions as to the constitutional validity of some of those requirements. Counting Like a State: How Intergovernmental Partnerships Shaped the 2020 U.S. Census (UP Kansas, 2025) explores this particular census as a kind of case study. The 2020 census was tricky on a number of fronts, not the least because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because of the Trump Administration's approach to the census itself. Rocco goes through the various approaches to the census as a national undertaking, searching for understandings of how the process actually worked and where there were positive and negative engagements with the process. As a scholar of federalism, data science, and public policy, Rocco was intrigued by what he found in terms of cooperation on the state level, especially in places like California. The research also highlights various levels of mistrust of government entities and institutions, which makes the census process more difficult and potentially inaccurate because individuals are skeptical about completing the census forms. Because the census is required by law and regulation, it has a number of statutory deadlines, and in 2020, the Covid pandemic shattered the expected and legally compelled timeline for the reporting of results. This is another important aspect of this particular census that Rocco examines in order to assess how states and the national government tried to manage a rather unique process in 2020. Counting Like A State: How Intergovernmental Partnerships Shaped the 2020 U.S. Census examines not only the 2020 census but also sketches out the history of the census process in the United States so as to provide context for the most recent census and the processes that were implemented across the board. This is a very interesting exploration of how the federal government works, especially in context of federalism and unanticipated constraints. Lilly J.

The research also highlights various levels of mistrust of government entities and institutions, which makes the census process more difficult and potentially inaccurate because individuals are skeptical about completing the census forms. Because the census is required by law and regulation, it has a number of statutory deadlines, and in 2020, the Covid pandemic shattered the expected and legally compelled timeline for the reporting of results. This is another important aspect of this particular census that Rocco examines in order to assess how states and the national government tried to manage a rather unique process in 2020. Counting Like A State: How Intergovernmental Partnerships Shaped the 2020 U.S. Census examines not only the 2020 census but also sketches out the history of the census process in the United States so as to provide context for the most recent census and the processes that were implemented across the board. This is a very interesting exploration of how the federal government works, especially in context of federalism and unanticipated constraints. Lilly J.

NCBFAA Transportation Committee Spotlight: 2025 Wins, 2026 Priorities & Industry Insights Host: Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): Kim Calicott — NCBFAA Transportation Committee Chair - LinkedIn Rich Roche — NVOCC Subcommittee Chair - LinkedIn Donna Kavanaugh — Export Compliance Subcommittee Chair- LinkedIn Published: November 26, 2026 Length: ~ 44 min. Presented by: Global Training Center — globaltrainingcenter.com Episode Summary In this special collaboration with the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America (NCBFAA), Simply Trade launches a multi-episode series highlighting the critical work of NCBFAA committees. This episode features the Transportation Committee, covering NVOCC activity, export compliance, air freight, logistics, and the evolving regulatory landscape. Host Lalo Solorzano speaks with committee chair Kim Calicott, along with subcommittee leaders Rich Roche (NVOCC) and Donna Kavanaugh (Export Compliance). The group breaks down the major wins and challenges of 2025, key regulatory shifts, and what members should expect heading into 2026. Key Learnings & Themes 1. Transportation Committee Overview Kim explains the structure of the Transportation Committee and its four subcommittees: NVOCC Subcommittee (Rich Roche): Guidance on OSRA, FMC rulemaking, D&D billing, “clear as mud” interpretations, and a forthcoming NVOCC Best Practices Working Group. Export Compliance Subcommittee (Donna Kavanaugh): Monitoring regulatory activity from BIS, OFAC, Census, CBP, and DDTC while educating members on practical impacts. Air Freight Subcommittee (Donna Mullins): Infrastructure modernization efforts, partnership with the Airforwarders Association (AFA), and involvement in a GAO study on air cargo facility conditions. Logistics Committee: Watching driver shortages, truck/equipment tariff impacts, Electronic Export Manifest (EEM) development, and alignment with international systems like ICS2. 2. 2025 Regulatory Swing Highlights include: FMC's D&D Final Rule implementation and the section struck down by the courts. BIS tightening China-related controls and reevaluating rules inherited from prior administrations. Pause on the significant Affiliates Rule, which may reemerge in 2026. Changing rules related to firearms, AI, and Syria sanctions. “Clear as mud” advisory responses from FMC's General Counsel. 3. Advocacy That Makes a Difference NCBFAA's early engagement with agencies prevents harmful regulatory outcomes—such as removing unintended burdens on NVOCCs in OSRA's original wording. 4. Encouragement for New Participants Both Kim and Donna stress: No one starts out knowing everything Every question matters Committee involvement accelerates growth and strengthens the industry The association thrives on collaboration across company size, mode, and experience level 5. Looking Ahead to 2026 Key upcoming items include: Launch of the NVOCC Best Practices Working Group Ongoing work on EEM and air cargo modernization BIS rule reviews after the Affiliates Rule pause Continued focus on driver shortages and equipment tariffs NVOCC Day 2026 in New Orleans on January 22 Takeaways for Listeners NCBFAA membership is valuable for all trade professionals—brokers, forwarders, logistics providers, and affiliates. Exporting remains highly regulated and rapidly evolving—missteps can be significant. Committee participation is one of the most impactful ways to deepen knowledge and support industry-wide improvements. Agencies are shifting priorities quickly; staying informed is essential.

In this episode, I sit down with developer and speaker Sagi Carmel to dive deep into Astro, why it's gaining so much traction, and how it compares to frameworks like Next.js, Nuxt, Remix, and SvelteKit. We explore what makes Astro uniquely powerful — from its server-first approach and island architecture to its simplicity, speed, and ability to integrate with any front-end framework you want.Sagi also walks me through real-world use cases, including how he built Israel's official Census website with Astro, why scoped CSS and server components simplify the development experience, and how tools like HTMX and view transitions make web UX buttery smooth. If you've been curious about Astro, this conversation is a terrific deep dive into both its fundamentals and its advanced capabilities.

Praise Series — God Is Not Punishing You!Psalm 103:8-10, “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.”Praising the Lord when we are in a good place is one thing. It is a completely different story when we are struggling. One reason is that we might think we are going through this hard time because God is punishing us. I was praying for someone who was suffering from tinnitus. While I was praying with him, he mentioned that he thinks he has tinnitus because God didn't want him to listen to so much music and wanted him to pray silently more. If you lose your job or even if you lose a loved one you may believe that these bad things are happening because of something bad you have done in the past. We are all sinners and we may feel like God is punishing us for our sins.I want to reassure each of you that God is not punishing you! I am 100% sure of this! God does not punish us. God is only good. If you want proof that God does not punish us, you can look at today's Psalm. Psalm 103:8-10, “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.” God does not create the bad things that are happening in our lives. You did not get cancer because you had an affair. You did not have a miscarriage because you don't go to church. God is not punishing you. God did not do this bad thing to you.God is all-powerful and all-knowing. If he wants you to learn a lesson, he can teach it to you in a million different ways. He doesn't have to have you get sick before you turn to Him. Just because God can use this awful tragedy or the illness for your good doesn't mean He gave it to you. God does not create illness. He is a healer. God is love and mercy. God blesses people; He does not curse them.If you need another scripture verse, look at Romans 8:1, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Condemnation (punishment) is not for those who belong to Christ. God does not punish His children—He saves and restores them. John 3:17 states, "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. The central message is that Jesus's mission was not to judge and punish humanity, but to offer a way to be freed from sin and its consequences.It is easier for many of us to believe that Jesus wouldn't punish us, but harder for us to believe that God does not punish us. God is a good and loving Father. Regardless of what our own father was like, God is always good and always loving. It is hard for us to believe things if we have no frame of reference for them. I think part of the reason I can believe that God is a good Father who loves me and doesn't want to punish me is because my own father was a good example of God's love to me. I am not saying I never got into trouble as a kid. I did occasionally do things that weren't ok. I did get in trouble. But my parents did not condemn me or make me feel shame for what I did. They gave me consequences so I would learn not to do it again, but they didn't punish me.I know that I am lucky and that so many kids don't grow up with a loving, caring example of a Father. In the United States, 1 in 4 kids grows up without a dad in the home. That means 25% of kids in America are growing up without a dad. In the 2020 Census, there were 18.4 million kids who were living without their biological dad. It is easy to see how the view of God got so distorted. We are living in a world of broken people. We are all just doing the best we can, and yet the best for so many of us is not good enough. These are just the kids who grow up without a dad. We also have the kids who grow up with an abusive dad. If so many people have no reference for a father who loves you unconditionally and who would never hurt you, then how are they supposed to understand that God could actually love them like that?If none of those other scripture verses convinced you that God is not punishing you, hopefully this one will. Isaiah 53:5 “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”Jesus took the full punishment, so we don't have to. What we receive now is peace, not wrath. Do we deserve to be punished? Absolutely. Every single one of us has done something wrong, deserving of punishment. However, that is why God sent Jesus to us. Jesus came to save us from the punishment we deserved. "Jesus died the death we deserved, so we might live the life he earned.”Why would God send his only Son to earth to die a gruesome death if he was just going to punish us for all we did anyway? If God is punishing you for your sins, why did Jesus die on a cross? When you are wondering if God is punishing you. When the enemy is whispering in your ear that you deserve this because of all the things you have done, I want you to take a look at a crucifix and ask yourself this question: “If that is true, if God is punishing me for all I have done, then what did Jesus die for?”We must know that God is not punishing us, because once we know this, praising becomes a bit easier. I know it is still not easy to praise in difficult times. I know there are many circumstances where the idea of praising God or being grateful for anything while you are in that circumstance seems unthinkable and impossible. That is why I am doing this series. My prayer is that by the end of this series, you know how vital praise is, you know how to praise, and you can praise, even in the challenging times. I genuinely believe that praise is the secret answer to so many of our problems.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those who are listening to this episode. Lord, please help us in the wait. Help us to believe you are not punishing us. Help us to believe you are with us while we wait. Help us to keep faith and hope that things will get better and that we won't be in this forever. We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with Your Will and in Jesus's Holy Name, Amen!Thank you for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 35: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-BLOCK (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump is now a lame duck. A lame Donald. A lame duck Donald. A lame Donald Duck. I like it. It’s not just that MAGA stood up to him and a GOP/Democratic coalition beat him 427 to 1 on Epstein. It's that that was something even most of the Washington political media industrial complex can understand, can process, can WRITE using the cliches in which they trafficked until Trump and his unprecedented madness came along. This looked all too familiar and they jumped on it with both feet and the same cliché: LAME DUCK. Fortune used it. NBC. Semafor. The National Review. Nate Silver's site asked "Is Trump A Lame Duck?" CNN's went further: "Is Trump A Lame Duck NOW?" It's so bad there was a Politico Lame Duck Listicle! "Seven signs Trump is losing his groove." And then the final nail: “It’s Official: Donald Trump is a lame duck by President”by Chris Cillizza, part of his weekly conversation with Chuck Todd. It's never over til it's over, Yogi, but it's over. B-BLOCK (25:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: I'm the character in The (Latest) Olivia Nuzzi story who gets shot in the first scene, but I still know more about her than almost any outsider and there is a lot to correct on her epically bad book excerpt in Vanity Fair, and the riposte by the more recent ex, Ryan Lizza, who was apparently told by Olivia that I was stalking her at the same time as Olivia was telling me there was a guy in Washington stalking her, named Ryan Lizza. The Nuzzi News is a Doozy and we all lose. This was to be a comeback; now she'll need an entirely new comeback to come back from her come back. And how does Vanity Fair keep her employed after the Mark Sanford accusation made her explanation of her RFK Jr lies into a separate lie? C-BLOCK (1:00:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Trump accuses himself of rigging the 2020 census. It was in July, but Bill O'Reilly insisted that Jeffrey Epstein was prosecuted by Biden and Garland, and refused to correct himself even after he was reminded Epstein died during Trump's first presidency. And Bill Maher says he's giving up touring because people who are half as funny are selling twice as many tickets. Who does he mean? The New York Jets?

Most traditional brokerage companies have a minimum standard, commission-wise, because of the multiple dispersion of equity prices. On the other hand, there are many properties that have been abandoned and left vacant.According to statistics, unpaid property taxes rack up to $14 billion a year because of these properties. This is where wholesalers come to the rescue-they relieve sellers of distressed properties and turn them into livable places. Plus, it helps the community to cover a fraction of those property taxes.In this episode, Brent Daniel enthusiastically explains why wholesaling is ethical and how it helps the economic forces in a community.
