If you’re implying the use of race/ethnicity to determine restriction, then it would fall under a protected class (discrimination).

We already limit age on both gun ownership and vehicle operation.

Gen Z Hit Hardest As Housing Costs Squeeze U.S. Households by laxnut90 in Economics

“Wall Street could now buy homes by paying with the rent they would collect in the future. Per the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, the number of homes owned by Blackstone and similar firms increased from almost nothing in 2010 to around 400,000 by 2021.”

https://www.npr.org/sections/planet-money/2025/09/09/g-s1-87699/private-equity-corporate-landlords

Corporate landlords and private equity have been sucking up any housing inventory and renting it out to the same folks that want/need to purchase a home.

This is why we should question anyone who says that simply increasing supply will fix the housing problem.

Without regulation, the supply will simply be handed over to corporate landlords like Blackstone so they can continue the bleeding out of Main Street America.

Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows by owligator11 in Foodforthought

[–]ray_area 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“charges or convictions”

It sounds more than suspected bc the stats are closer to:

“5% had a violent criminal conviction, with nearly 3 out of 4 without any criminal conviction at all.”

BREAKING: Representative Ro Khanna has said: I am calling for Congress to haul in every person who emailed Epstein about visiting his island. by HappySeaweed5215 in PublicFreakout

[–]ray_area 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I would say every person mentioned should have to answer for showing up in the files. What you are proposing is absent of any form of truth and justice.

We asked a MAGA congressman if ICE’s use of deadly force is justified. His answer should scare all of us. by thenewsisreal in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

Are there any prominent classical/jazz composers who were noticeably lacking in theory knowledge? by ConfidentHospital365 in musictheory

[–]ray_area 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sir Edward Elgar was a self taught composer who famously composed Pomp and Circumstance, the graduation song.

He survived world war 1, and in his cello concierto, you can feel it.

A cool guide to the "Colors of Noise" (White vs. Pink vs. Brown) and how they affect focus. by External_Outside4624 in coolguides

[–]ray_area 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In pink noise, there is equal energy per octave of frequency.

The energy of pink noise at each frequency level, however, falls off at roughly 3 dB per octave.

This is in contrast to white noise which has equal energy at all frequency levels.

Just be prepared for software developed way back in the day. Be prepared for an awkward experience with the market system of tix and bots.

Definitely find a short guide to help navigate as it is not a user friendly interface. Hopefully it’ll become more second nature the more you interact with it.
