Owner and Creator of the Utah Magazine and Podcast known as UTAH STORIES and FACES OF UTAH joins us this week. Richard Markosian has dove deep into several problems that are facing Utah and these podcasts have hit a nerve within listeners. But these are problems facing the whole nation not just Utah. With major affordability issues hitting our housing market, most youth cannot afford to be home owners and even the rental market is pricing them out. What has caused this massive increase in housing costs? We dive deep into how major hedge funds like BlackRock and Vanguard are buying massive quantities of single family homes and turning them into revenue generating rental properties. Out bidding the common home buyer. In this episode we also dive deep into government corruption topics happening in our own backyard in Salt Lake City and Salt Lake Country where billions of dollars are padding pockets that were designed to help homelessness. As well as how many school districts, like Granite School District in Salt Lake, are also padding administrative pockets and none of the money is making it down to classrooms and teachers. We approach the explosive topics around DOGE, the military industrial complex, USAID and the Department of Education. Is Utah falling into California's playbook? We discuss it all, don't miss this episode of the God and Country Podcast! In this episode, we delve into the shocking truth behind BlackRock's $2 trillion housing takeover and its far-reaching implications on the real estate market, particularly in areas like Salt Lake City. The company, along with Vanguard, has been quietly amassing a vast real estate portfolio, raising concerns about the housing crisis, cost of living, and housing shortage. As home buying becomes increasingly difficult for individuals, BlackRock's dominance in the market threatens to displace long-time residents and inflate property values, affecting communities like those in the Granite School District. This phenomenon is not limited to Utah, as similar stories are emerging across the nation, pointing to a larger issue of government waste, fraud, and abuse. The impact on Utah housing and Utah politics is significant, with many questioning the role of government salaries and public programs in addressing the housing shortage. Meanwhile, the broader national issues of socialism, property taxes, and homelessness are also coming into play. As we discuss these topics, it becomes clear that the effects are felt by various groups, including teachers, soldiers, and the general public, who are struggling to make ends meet amidst the rising cost of living. The situation is dire, and it's essential to shed light on the facts that are not being told, to spark community activism and encourage a closer look at the investments of companies like BlackRock and Vanguard, and their influence on the overall economy, including the value of assets like DOGE. By examining the intricacies of BlackRock's housing takeover, we can better understand the complexities of the real estate market and the need for transparency and accountability in investments that affect us all.
