In addition to #USAGM, #Trump's order also targeted the Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service [#FMCS], the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars [#WilsonCenter], the Institute of #Museum & #Library Services [#IMLS], the US Interagency Council on #Homelessness [#USICH], the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund [#CDFIfund], & the Minority Business Development Agency [#MBDA] for cuts.
Trump moves to gut more agencies, targeting Voice of America, libraries, clean energy and National Monuments
Trump has signed an executive order seeking to eliminate several additional federal agencies, including one that oversees the federally funded media outlet 
️Voice of America (VOA), 
testing the limits of his authoritative power as he seeks to shrink the size and scope of the federal bureaucracy.
One order signed Friday night calls for the agencies
— some of which are focused on #minority business enterprises, #museum and #library services and #homelessness prevention
— to “be eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law.”
It also instructs the heads of agencies to “reduce the performance of their statutory functions and associated personnel to the minimum presence and function required by law,”
and submit a report to the Office of Management and Budget director #Russell #Vought confirming full compliance within seven days.
A second executive order revoked 19 executive actions signed by President Joe Biden that promoted #clean #energy and environmental goals.
The order terminates proclamations of #national #monuments created by Biden
and ends the use of the Defense Production Act to expand the U.S. manufacturing of clean energy technology
(including mandates for electric heat pumps and #solar #panels),
among other Biden-era policies

Trump signed #executiveorder to dismantle 7 additional federal agencies, including one that oversees #VoiceofAmerica, other govt-funded media outlets around the world. Directed heads of the agencies largely obscure entities that address issues like #labor mediation & #homelessness prevention, #eliminate all functions that are not statutorily #mandated. The leaders should also “reduce the performance of their statutory functions, associated personnel to minimum presence, function required by law.
Did you know two tax breaks are disproportionately helping Australia's wealthiest while worsening the housing affordability crisis?
The report highlights:
Capital Gains Tax Deduction: Only 50% of profits from selling property are taxed. Negative Gearing: Investment expenses can be deducted from income.
In the middle of biblical-sized flooding, West Virginia's state legislators are debating criminalizing #homelessness.
Our lawmakers are fast-tracking the legislative process to roll back water protections, while access to drinking water is consistently the number one issue when our infrastructure is overwhelmed by rain.
If that is not enough, they also want to abolish the practice of people electing U.S. Senators by calling for the repeal of the 17th amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
If you know anyone in #WestVirginia, tell them about Blue Jay Rising
Advocates are sounding the alarm: Without urgent funding for affordable #housing, essential workers—like nurses and teachers—are being pushed out of the communities they serve. #Homelessness organisations report a rising number of these vital workers seeking help.

OPEC, Petrodollars, and the 1980s Homeless Crisis (2017)
...What assets do, if those holding them have any say in the matter, is appreciate. After all, why not? You've already got the thing, all you need is for it to increase in value. One classic mechanism for which is to constrain the supply. And there are lots of ways to do that with housing: big lots, big houses, construction and zoning laws, lousy infrastructure (crime, schools, transportation). So that the limited supply that is attractive keeps getting bid up. That's one of the big changes. And it was happening like gangbusters in the 1970s and 1980s especially, and since.
At the same time, a bunch of the upward-mobility-escalator stuff starts disappearing. Especially factory jobs, that let high-school (or less!) educated people, and especially males, earn a solid, high-income, and really fucking reliable income....
A thinking-out-loud piece I'd written back on G+ (hence the IA link), on how homelessness kicked off bigtimes in the US in the late 1970s / early 1980s, perhaps as housing became financialised due to A Combination Of Many Things.
Stumbled across this looking for other things (as one does) and thought it might be of interest to others.

As a child, when I still imagined that television was interesting, I sent a great deal of my time ensuring I would not have to go to bed too early by watching the adult programmes; that is, those documentaries and news bulletins which I equated with being an adult, as opposed to what we now understand to be adult (sexual / violent) con…
