Trump abruptly cancels plan to sign bipartisan bill aimed at lowering cost of housing unless Senate approves Save America Act

Coffee isn't ready yet, so I'm basing this entirely on the blurb:

A day earlier, the House of Representatives approved the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, which is intended to lower rents and home prices by reducing federal regulations,

That sounds bad.

streamlining environmental reviews,

That definitely sounds worse.

speeding up the construction process

More bad.

and curbing the influence of corporate landlords by limiting their ability to purchase single-family homes.

That last one sounds like it's a good thing, until you take a second to consider the source. Most likely it aids his buddies somehow.

Do we really want this signed?

I saw a similar thing once it was glorious

A few years ago, i was working in an entertainment company. One of the audio guys was called 'Racist Dave,' like he would introduce himself as such to clients.

One day, he heard a coworker talking to his kid on the phone in Spanish. This was in LA, so that's obviously completely unheard of. Dave decided to go on a 10 minute rant about how we're in MURIKKKA AND WE ALL GOTTA SPEAK MURIKKKAN! I took offense to this, and so whenever he'd go out to the taco truck at lunch, I'd follow him and loudly ask him what the "MURRIKKKAN" word for "burrito" or "taco" was. If also all him to kindly use the "MURIKKKAN" names for all the cities we were operating in: "it's not 'Los Angeles,' it's The Angels, Dave! It's not 'San Diego,' it's Whales Vagina, DAVE!"

He quit ordering from the taco truck after two days.

Fuck you, Dave.
