Social Security trustees predict the retirement trust fund is now projected to run dry a full year earlier than previously forecast, in just 2032. What got us here, and what does Congress need to do about it? Can we keep pushing insolvency forward forever?And: where does good government end and dangerous negligence begin? The Belfast riots are the latest example of a Western government that suppressed legitimate debate about immigration and crime, and now things are boiling over.Finally, related to our main topic but separated by over 250 years: the Intolerable Acts of 1774 pushed the colonies past the breaking point, despite an attempt at reconciliation in the Olive Branch Petition, which King George ultimately refused to even read.And on UNHINGED: Democrat staffers scrambling to spin the Platner story are making it so much worse.

Public outcry over the entitlements used by Members of Parliament is the only thing that will get them changed, a political analyst says. Labour Leader Chris Hipkins has come under fire for using a generous publicly funded private superannuation scheme to pay off the mortgage of his family holiday home, saying that ultimately, it's his money. Other MPs have also been criticised for claiming the accommodation allowance and using it on properties they already own. Bryce Edwards told Kerre Woodham the best thing about the situation is that is has sparked public debate and put the ball in politicians' court. He says it's great the public is taking an interest and that they're angry, as the only way this will change is if politicians realise the public thinks something is wrong here.

There's debate over housing entitlements after it was revealed National's Louise Upston claims allowances for a home she already owns. MPs needing semi-permanent accommodation in Wellington can access up to $52 thousand a year. National's Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking it is an entitlement, because MPs have to stay in the capital. Labour's Ginny Andersen told Mike Hosking there's certainly room for a discussion. She says much of this is hard for many Kiwis to stomach when there's a cost of living crisis going on.

Avani Adhikari — head of insights at GatherGov — is in good traffic this week for a conversation about mapping America's data center development pipeline, what happens when you analyze millions of hours of municipal meeting recordings, and the most controversial topics in local government. As cities hear proposals they don't fully understand and residents voice opposition to infrastructure they've never encountered before, Avani's work sits at the intersection of technology, and civic engagement.Avani walks through how GatherGov listens to and analyzes meetings from over 7,800 jurisdictions to extract entitlements data and assess development risk. She explains the sharp uptick in data center construction spending since 2022 — a timeline that directly correlates with ChatGPT and large language models — and breaks down why these projects spark such intense community opposition despite their often-invisible presence. From water usage concerns to property value fears to fundamental questions about who benefits from AI infrastructure, the conversation explores how communication gaps between tech companies and residents create friction that could be avoided. She also discusses why the Northeast consistently shows up as the most civically engaged region in her data, the challenge of making complex information accessible, and what it means to be a tech optimist working on projects that generate genuine controversy.Timeline:00:00 Avani Adhikari and GatherGov.02:47 Mapping the development pipeline of America.04:36 Entitlements data as early project signals.05:14 Analyzing 7800+ jurisdictions' public meetings.05:51 Extracting patterns from millions of hours of recordings.06:43 Data centers as a recent fascination.07:31 Nuclear energy as another controversial asset class.08:23 How often these topics show up in council meetings.09:14 Monthly construction spending jumped in 2022.10:16 ChatGPT and data center discourse correlation.11:33 Community opposition to data centers.12:43 Water usage and environmental concerns.16:54 Property value fears and NIMBY dynamics.21:10 Communication gaps between tech companies and residents.25:31 Why transparency matters more than people think.28:27 The tech optimist perspective on controversial projects.31:15 Who benefits from AI infrastructure?34:12 Making complex data accessible through storytelling.37:00 Personal interest in civic tech applications.40:15 The most civically engaged regions in America.43:03 Northeast towns showing up constantly in the data.46:33 Small New England towns and per capita engagement.49:21 Where to follow GatherGov's work.52:24 Newsletter and LinkedIn posts.55:12 Upcoming white paper on data centers.56:01 The commute question.58:04 Living in Tokyo as a teenager.59:35 Hour-long train commute to school.1:00:25 Reading books and buying snacks on the way.1:01:23 Wrapping up.Links:On data centers, from GatherGov.GatherGov homebase.Follow Avani, on LinkedIn.

A nationwide housing crisis is pricing out millions of would-be homeowners. Conventional wisdom suggests the problem is demand, as in, too much of it. But what if the problem instead involves the supply side of the equation — namely, how and where we build? In conversation with Tony Avila of Avila Real Estate Capital, AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson explores why attainable single-family homes are so scarce. The reasons include decade-long entitlement battles and loopy land loans that most institutions hope to avoid. Avila explains how his firm funds regional developers and partners with major homebuilders, while targeting the “sweet spot” of American incomes. Also on the agenda: Migration trends, policy missteps and why the next decade is shaping up to be the world's biggest housing construction opportunity.

The Save America Act advances in the Senate with a 51-49 vote. It will move to a debate in which Democrats will have to argue and defend why they don't want to secure our elections and ONLY allowing U.S. citizens to vote. Well, spoiler alert, Chuck Schumer already let the cat out of the bag. Illegal aliens, that often vote Democrat will be purged from the voter rolls. The bill is tied to the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program. This verification program will immediately wipe out loopholes like in Minnesota, where 1 register voter can vouch for up to 8 people to vote in an election. The Save America Act is vital to secure our elections and Scott Presler is committed to getting it to President Trump's desk and signed into law. Scott will be on the ground in Virginia to prevent the Democrats attempt to illegally and unconstitutionally gerrymander Virginia's congressional map from 6-5 in favor of Democrats to 10-1 in favor of Democrats. Virginia will be the most gerrymandered state in the country. So, if you're in Virginia, make sure to VOTE NO on April 21st. For the rest of the country, pay attention, because it's coming your way soon.

What is a master planned community, and how do zoning and entitlements create real estate value?In this special 200th episode of the Alternative Investing Advantage Podcast, Alex Perny sits down with Ari Rastegar of Rastegar Capital to break down how developers turn raw land into high-value communities through zoning, entitlements, and master planning.Ari shares how his team assembled and rezoned a large land site near Austin, Texas, and why entitlement risk can create extraordinary value before construction ever starts. They discuss why major institutions often cannot buy land until it is entitled, how community support influences approvals, and why timing can make or break a project. Ari also explains the real downside of development: years of permitting, shifting decision-makers, rising carry costs, and the sheer amount of effort required to get a project over the finish line.If you want to understand how developers create alpha in real estate—beyond buying and renovating existing properties—this episode lays out the process, the risks, and the payoff.00:00 Episode #200 intro + Ari Rastegar joins01:53 Ari's background and how he got into entitlements04:30 Why fast-growing cities need master planning07:40 How rezoning creates value before construction09:12 Why zoning is “alpha,” not “beta”11:40 Due diligence, community support, and entitlement risk17:08 Real estate is about people, not just buildings20:50 Grassroots outreach and winning local buy-in24:33 Timing risk: being too early vs too late28:10 The real pain: time, permits, and uncertainty31:34 When decision-makers change mid-process34:43 Carry costs, debt, and moving parts37:12 Why the work can be deeply fulfilling38:25 Horizontal development vs going vertical42:07 Building vertically integrated real estate businesses45:16 Housing demand and why supply can't keep up49:52 Innovation in building: prefab, robotics, and 3D printing50:40 Where to find Ari Rastegar + closingSubscribe to our YouTube channel and join our growing community for new videos every week.If you are interested in being a podcast guest speaker or have questions, contact us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast@AdvantaIRA.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Learn more about our guest, Ari Rastegar:https://rastegarcapital.com/articles/meet-ari-rastegar/Learn more about Advanta IRA: https://www.AdvantaIRA.com/ https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/advanta-irahttps://www.linkedin.com/company/Advanta-IRA/https://twitter.com/AdvantaIRA https://www.facebook.com/AdvantaIRA/ https://www.instagram.com/AdvantaIRA/#RealEstateDevelopment #Zoning #Entitlements #MasterPlannedCommunities #LandDevelopment #CommercialRealEstate #Multifamily #BuildForRent #HousingShortage #AlternativeInvesting

From adapting your home, to managing the costs of care, to navigating work and everyday life — many stroke survivors and their families find themselves asking: What help is out there? What support can I access? And how do I find it?In this episode, we're breaking down the key grants, benefits, and support schemes available in the UK to people affected by stroke, including:Personal Independence Payment (PIP) – financial support for extra living costs if you have long-term health conditions or disabilities.Attendance Allowance – for people aged over state pension age who need help with personal care.Carer's Allowance – supporting people who care for someone with substantial care needs.Employment Support – what help is available for returning to work or adapting your role after a stroke.Disabled Facilities Grant – for home adaptations like grab rails, stairlifts, wet rooms, and more.Blue Badge Scheme – parking support for people with mobility challenges.Council Tax Reductions and other local support options.We'll also highlight the organisations and advisory services that can help you apply for these benefits, understand eligibility, and take the stress out of the process — including charities like Stroke Association, Age UK, Citizens Advice, Disability Rights UK, and specialist local support services.Whether you're a stroke survivor, a family member, a carer, or someone who just wants to understand what support is out there — this episode is for you.We'll explain what each benefit does, who qualifies, how to apply, and where to get trusted advice — because navigating the system shouldn't add to your burden.Let's get into it.Personal Independence Payments (PIP) - https://www.gov.uk/pip/how-to-claimAttendance Allowance  - https://www.gov.uk/attendance-allowance/how-to-claim Blue Badge - https://www.gov.uk/apply-blue-badgeCouncil Tax Reduction - https://www.gov.uk/apply-council-tax-reductionStroke Association - https://www.stroke.org.uk/Citizens Advice - https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/#HeartTransplant#eatingdisorder#RareCondition#HealthJourney#LifeChangingDiagnosis#MentalHealth#Vulnerability#SelfCompassion#PostTraumaticGrowth#MedicalMiracle#BBCSports#Inspiration#Cardiology#Surgery#Podcast#Healthcare#HeartHealth#MedicalBreakthrough#EmotionalJourney#SupportSystem#HealthcareHeroes#PatientStories#CardiologyCare#MedicalJourney#LifeLessons#MentalWellness#HealthAwareness#InspirationalTalk#LivingWithIllness#RareDiseaseAwareness#SharingIsCaring#MedicalSupport#BBCReporter#HeartDisease#PodcastInterview#HealthTalk#Empowerment#Wellbeing#HealthPodcast#prostatecancer#Aid's#prostateCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.comCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect Stephen Colbert and James Talarico apparently lying about why their interview was not aired on CBS, Zohran Mamdani threatening to soak all property owners in New York City with much higher taxes, and a House Republican sounding the alarm about how soon Social Security is going to implode.First, they follow up on Tuesday's martini about why Colbert's interview with Talarico did not air on CBS. Colbert and Talarico claim President Trump's FCC forced the network to spike the segment, but CBS officials now say they never suggested pulling the interview. Jim is fuming at Colbert and Talarico.Next, they turn to New York City, where New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is threatening massive property tax increases if state lawmakers refuse to approve higher taxes on “the rich” and corporations. Jim and Greg point out how painfully predictable this was despite Mamdani's "affordability" campaign.Finally, they spotlight Rep. David Schweikert's warning that Social Security will implode in less than seven years if no action is taken. Jim and Greg not only lament the lack of will in either party to address the problem, but they also remind us how much more solvent the program would be if we started investing some of Social Security in the markets 20 years ago when President George W. Bush was pushing for it.Please visit our great sponsors:Help protect your family with life insurance through Ethos.

Why? Entitlements. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid continue to grow at breakneck speed, while waste, fraud, and abuse remain largely untouched.From tariffs acting as a hidden tax to welfare programs like TANF being treated as state-level slush funds, the issue isn't revenue—it's spending priorities and zero accountability. Until entitlement growth and oversight are taken seriously, record revenues won't fix what's broken.

In this episode of the Global Investors Podcast, host Charles Carillo sits down with Brandon Cobb, founder of HBG Capital, to break down how land entitlements unlock value long before a shovel hits the ground. Brandon explains how developers profit by: Securing zoning and density approvals Entitling land for residential development Selling ready-to-build land to national home builders Reducing risk by lining up buyers before purchasing land You'll also learn why publicly traded home builders are willing to pay a premium for entitled land, how developers mitigate entitlement risk, and the most common mistakes investors make when entering land development.

Brandon Cobb is a former medical device sales pro turned land developer who scaled from flipping 30–40 houses a year into building and developing entire communities, primarily around Nashville, Tennessee. In this episode, Brandon pulls back the curtain on what really makes land development work (and what can destroy you), including the entitlement process, dealing with cities, structuring deals with national builders, and how he obsessively builds downside protection into every project. What you'll learn about in this episode How Brandon went from getting fired from his "dream job" to becoming a full-time real estate entrepreneur The million-dollar mistake Brandon made in land development and the "golden rule" that would've prevented it Why you should never buy land before approvals are in place (and the one exception where it can make sense) A real example of a $1.4M win: getting approvals first, installing infrastructure, and selling developed lots to a national builder Why timelines vary wildly by county and why you should plan for delays (Murphy always shows up) The role of attorneys, engineers, and a reliable development team and how referrals create "continuity" that speeds approvals How to determine the best use of land before you start analyzing a deal The due diligence checklist difference between houses vs. raw land (and why exit strategies matter more on land) Current ballpark development costs per lot (excluding land cost), and what makes costs jump fast (rock, topography, dirt, trees) What "entry-level housing" looks like in today's market and why demand is so strong (affordable monthly payment target) Why Brandon prefers selling to national home builders (capital strength, volume pricing, speed, and predictability) How builder deposits can fund development and reduce interest costs—plus how Brandon targets downside protection in his numbers The concept of "force appreciation" in three phases: entitlement, horizontal development, and building/renting as a backstop Why Ron says: avoid personally guaranteeing debt and stay out of banks whenever possible Resources RonLeGrand.com — Additional training, tools, and information.

Most land investors stop at wholesaling and leave millions on the table. Cody Bjugan shows us a different path—land entitlements. He takes raw land, gets it approved for development, and sells to national builders for $10K to $100K per lot. No construction, no tenants, just bigger paychecks. The catch? It takes 2+ years, not 30 days. But if you're ready to level up from quick flips to real wealth, this is your playbook.   Learn more at vestright.com/jack

Is this lawful enforcement of sanctions—or a dangerous step toward war? Todd breaks down the constitutional, strategic, and humanitarian arguments on both sides, cutting through the noise to explain what this move actually means for America and the world.Then, the focus shifts home as a new report reveals a staggering truth: federal government spending per person has exploded nearly 10,000% over the past century.

America is becoming a nation built on government dependency rather than self reliance, and the shutdown exposed just how deep the crisis goes. In this episode, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the explosive growth of entitlement programs, the expansion of Medicaid, SNAP, Section 8, and ACA subsidies, and the hidden mechanics of how millions of illegal immigrants access public benefits through household eligibility rules and state funded programs. He exposes the fraud, waste, and abuse costing taxpayers billions, and connects it to the catastrophic failures of a one point four trillion dollar education system that produces students who cannot read, write, or understand their own country. This episode challenges everything you think you know about freedom, responsibility, and the future of America, and explains why a dependent people cannot remain a free people. Episode Highlights How entitlement programs evolved into a massive dependency scheme that now reaches 127 million people The truth about mixed status households, imported dependency, and the real cost of illegal immigration to taxpayers Why a $1.4 trillion education system is failing and how this failure fuels long term government dependence

3. Supply vs. Demand: Economic Shocks, Entitlements, and the Invisible Population Nicholas Eberstadt Book: Men Without Work (Post-Pandemic Edition) Eberstadt explores the competing explanations for the ghost army, contrasting his supply-side argument (men holding back labor/unpreparedness) with demand-side views from critics Henry Olsen and Jared Bernstein. Olsen highlights the role of economic shocks and structural changes, like the 1970s stagflation and deindustrialization (the Rust Belt). The role of entitlements is significant, as over half of NILF men receive at least one benefit, often disability payments like SSDI. Regional differences in labor force participation (e.g., high inactivity in West Virginia adjacent to low inactivity in Maryland) mitigate a purely national demand-side case. The source stresses the lack of data on the estimated 25 million ex-convicts, who are an "invisible population" largely untracked by labor statistics. 1929

At long last...! So, one thing after another happened in our lives this summer, and the hiatus lasted longer than we anticipated or intended. But! We are back for another handful of episodes to round out the Season, kicking off today with a readthrough of Lords of Summer. This volume for Changeling: the Lost's first edition explored the concept of freeholds and provided a wealth of information for the four main Courts, giving us a much-needed look at the politics and society of the fae. We also get some fascinating new Entitlements for the Lost who needs some added purpose in their life. As with the other books in the game's first wave, this one is dense with material, and a lot of our discussion has been cut or condensed to fit into the episode. But equally, we hope as always that it's informative and sheds some light on the lore of the 'lings. You can snag a copy of the volume at https://www.storytellersvault.com/en/product/56375?affiliate_id=3063731, and note that it's currently 40% off for the Month of Darkness sale on the Storytellers' Vault.

The Environmental Protection Agency's pledge to “get out of the way” on chemical reviews to accelerate the buildout of artificial intelligence data centers doesn't mean those reviews would be any less “robust,” a top EPA nominee told lawmakers Wednesday. Appearing before the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee, Douglas Troutman — President Donald Trump's pick for assistant administrator for toxic substances — was pressed by Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., about comments made by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin last month following a White House roundtable with AI and data center leaders. In a Sept. 18 press release, Zeldin announced that the EPA would begin prioritizing the review of new chemicals — under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) — that would be used in data center projects. Markey asked Troutman, a former chemical industry lobbyist, what provisions in federal toxic safety laws indicate the EPA can “get out of the way of reviewing chemicals for safety.” Troutman responded that “nothing will change with regard to the robust review based on the risk-based statute enacted under Section Five of TSCA.” Markey appeared unconvinced, telling Troutman that if he's confirmed, he will “be under orders from Administrator Zeldin to get out of the way.” The Massachusetts Democrat made the case that “big tech bosses” with ties to the administration could lean on the agency to bypass regular review protocols. Voting rights groups are asking a court to block an ongoing Trump administration effort to merge disparate federal and state voter data into a massive citizenship and voter fraud database. Last week, the League of Women Voters, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) and five individuals sued the federal government in D.C. District Court, saying it was ignoring decades of federal privacy law to create enormous “national data banks” of personal information on Americans. On Tuesday, the coalition, represented by Democracy Forward Foundation, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), and Fair Elections Center, asked the court for an emergency injunction to halt the Trump administration's efforts to transform the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements into an immense technological tool to track potential noncitizens registered to vote. Until this year, SAVE was an incomplete and limited federal database meant to track immigrants seeking federal benefits. In an Oct. 7 court filing, the groups said an immediate injunction was needed to prevent permanent privacy harms due to the “illegal and secretive consolidation of millions of Americans' sensitive personal data across government agencies into centralized data systems” through SAVE.
