Nonprofit hospital CEO comp: $34.4 million. UnitedHealth CEO comp: $33.1 million. One pays taxes. One does not. Guess which one Congress calls a charity.

'So, we're going to say this is a housing affordability bill.' 'Great, so we're going to get more affordable houses?' 'Oh, no. Certainly not. The bill makes houses less affordable.'
BREAKING: The Senate has passed the biggest housing affordability bill in 30 years, and it includes a ban on investors buying single-family homes. The bill passed 89-10.

It's wild to watch the federal push for more housing collapse in real time b/c of baseless panic about large investors owning homes. Senate just voted 89-9 to advance an effective ban on build-to-rent homes, which would reduce new supply by an est. 50k a year.
