At first I thought it said "J.D. Vance uses interview to peg Peter Thiel to help Trump campaign with cash".
I mean, that wouldn't be terribly surprising news either.

That information is very widely and readily available with a basic web search. His voice was fine until (I forget) years ago when a weird illness damaged his vocal cords.
I'm sorry I have to ask, but, serious or kidding?
I get for vacation areas this is less of an issue but for places like ny city, San Francisco, etc it’s taking homes out of use.
It's every bit as big of an issue for vacation areas / areas where tourism is the primary driver of the economy.
Take Tahoe or Mammoth Lakes for example: until the early 2010s it was still possible to move there without knowing anyone or having any other inside track, get a job (not your favorite or first choice, usually, but something to work from while you get established) and find your crappy first apartment or half-a-cabin or rundown shack or basement or ADU to rent.
That scenario is almost completely gone now and has been for ten years, plus or minus -- depending on where each person sees the line that divides difficult from impossible. People making far less than a living wage now commute to both of those areas from an hour or more away. The sense of how "connected" or privileged one has to be to make it or even just scrape by in areas such as these has relentlessly risen to a level that has had an enormous impact on mental and emotional health and life outcomes in these areas too.
All of these factors were already big in the negative column balancing the very real positives of living so close to nature and preferred sporting activities, before the rise of the short term rental blight. But nowadays those negatives are practically off the meter.
holy shit. everybody should read this.
At that time he was just barely young enough to still be trying tricks like that to hide the gut.
They only care about making sure their kids will have yachts.
Nothing says "everybody loves me!" better than surrounding oneself with bulletproof materials 🤣
Doesn't even have to be right wing (a.k.a. the extreme right)... even moderate at this point equals business-as-usual equals right off the cliff as soon as possible.
