Film claiming 2020 election voting scheme uses faulty assumptions and improper analysis of data, fact-checkers report

I get it—there are a shitton of books out there telling people how to write, but half of them feel like grifts wrapped in nostalgia. "Forget your modern tools! Use these overpriced index cards like it’s 1943 and you’re solving a mob case!"
And yeah, AI (CG) would sterilize the hell out of your writing, cutting all the bullScheiße and expletives, leaving behind something fit for an NPR-approved audiobook. No thanks. You write how you write, and that’s what makes it yours.

Institutional investor takeover of single-family homes, which has been a major shift in the housing market over the past decade. BlackRock, along with firms like Invitation Homes (a spinoff of Blackstone) and American Homes 4 Rent, has been buying up large numbers of homes, particularly in HOA-governed communities, to transform them into high-rent, corporate-controlled properties.

2. Foreclosure & Acquisition Strategy
During the 2008 financial crisis, BlackRock and Blackstone pioneered the mass acquisition of foreclosed homes, particularly in HOA-controlled neighborhoods where stable property values and high rents were guaranteed.
