Kevin, look, I feel deeply for Jenzy. I can't imagine being a first-time home buyer and you're staring down, you know, million-dollar homes with huge interest rates. I mean, is that the plan that will work?

I got two Gen Z in my family right now, and they looked at that and said, "Wait a second. If you give everybody free money, you're just going to cause inflation." If everybody in the street has $25,000 extra dollars, there's only one home for sale. The seller is going to get the $25,000 by raising the price $25,000.

I've been very vocal about this policy. I'm in the real estate business; that's a really bad idea, an immensely bad idea, an incredibly bad idea. And I think somebody should talk about that one.

I'd like to interview her on that idea. I'll do the interview; I want it live. I want to do that interview 'cause I know real estate, I know state policy, I know regulation. Please let me do that interview. I would watch that interview, and I would watch it again and again.

Kevin O interviewing KLA Harris, let's make it happen!

r greater than g but less inequality

One of the core ideas of Thomas Piketty’s book is if the return on capital is greater than the growth in economy, then that could drive inequality. Inequality is a natural byproduct of a market capitalist economy, and one could argue that, hey, look, some…
