The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.
So no, I don't think that FDR was a fan of fascism as you seem to be suggesting. Yes, in 1933 he expressed interest in what Mussolini was doing in Italy.
The RSA is a landlords' lobbying group, not a government entity. In NYC it's the Rent Guidelines Board that determines how much any increase will be. But the landlords can't be thrown in jail for contempt because there is no law requiring them to open their books.
All that can be done is for the RGB to refuse an increase for that year, which they in fact did for the past two years (and RSA unsuccessfully sued them for doing that claiming of course that RGB didn't take into account the increased costs of being a landlord).
This past year though an increase of 1.25% for one year leases and 2% for two year leases was granted, again with no information forthcoming from the landlords about their "increased costs".
In New York State the "Rent Stabilization Association" and their constituent landlords have always refused to "open the books" and show what the actual operating costs are for their rent stabilized apartments. Yet they continue to demand regular increases claiming "increased expenses". And the New York State legislature has said "Yes Sir!" every time.
So your "not more than 20% margin" plan wouldn't work in the current environment.
There are huge swaths of empty real estate even in the heart of Manhattan. Because they have not been built upon people use these areas to run their motor vehicles on. It's time to develop beyond the sidewalks!
Hey, you look like you know how to stealthily buy up land cheap, use eminent domain to acquire what the land owners refused to sell, rip up the Earth and extract coal out of it using cheap labor while throwing the safety of your workers to the wind.
Here, have some more money, you deserve it as a reward for all you've done for yourself.
It's telling that they did not push for any Republican or independent Conservative candidates. Because those would have drawn votes away from Trump, unlike Stein and Sanders who would have likely pulled votes from Clinton.
Yes, I think I mentioned that in the sentence that follows the one you quoted.
But my point was not "balance of trade"; it was that US total dependence on Chinese manufacturing could result in crippling of the US economy should China at any point decide to stop manufacturing goods for the US. That's both an economic and a security issue.
Now I'm not suggesting that China would do such a thing for her economic benefit. But should there be rumors of war, watch out.
Our US (ahem, I mean "global") corporations have moved manufacture of their products overseas. The factories that would have been built here were instead built there. The environmental regulations (pre-Trump at least) and labor laws are not those that would have governed employees here but instead are whatever is the law there - often much lower standards. Oversight and potentially control of the means of production is now in the hands of foreign governments.
If, to take one example, China decided tomorrow to cripple the US they could simply stop allowing products manufactured on their soil being exported to the US. You say "but that would kill their economy" and that might be true, but it is also possible that they'd be able to get on without US exports for a while longer than the US could get along without new electronic equipment.
So when a US corp that moved their factories to China complains that a Chinese manufacturer stole their IP, I say that they got what they deserved.
From what I've read not only do restaurant workers not get paid sick days but they typically will be penalized or fired for being absent. So, yeah, you probably get a serving of the contagious disease of the day with every meal. Ask for it "well done".
Maybe more likely to contract some strain other than the ones that were in the vaccine? (If the vaccine works perfectly then the likelihood of contracting one of the constituents of the vaccine would be zero, so if you catch something it would have to be something that wasn't in there.)
How would spending millions of dollars running for president and thrust in the political lime light to be alienated by friends, donors, business associates, and politicians be in any way a winning strategy for getting richer? Have you thought this through at all?

Your link gets right to the meat of the argument but mine has the full video for those who want to understand the background.
Extrusion. Yes. Exactly correct.

So you're saying that they should have named it the "Fuego"?
And you might also ask "better for whom?" as well.
In New York State the "Rent Stabilization Association" and their constituent landlords have always refused to "open the books" and show what the actual operating costs are for their rent stabilized apartments.

True. And that is because "affordable housing" isn't affordable to the poor.

Mr Trump has repeatedly stated that he is a genius.
TFA explains why therefore his approval ratings have tanked now that the folks who voted for him realize that.
I found this:
https://github.com/lianke123321/differentiation-detector-android/blob/master/code/ReplayAndroidApp/src/mobi/meddle/diffdetector/ReplayActivity.java
by searching for an error message I got from the "wehe" app. But the guy who published this code is from Stony Brook not Northeastern.
But a project named "Meddle" is described here:

So which is the original?
