- Antitrust progressives incorrectly blame big corporations for high rents and other economic issues.
- Corporate landlords like BlackRock and Blackstone own a negligible portion of U.S. housing, debunking myths about their market dominance.
- Research shows corporate landlords may lower rents and increase neighborhood diversity, contrary to antitrust progressive claims.
- The real cause of high rents in desirable cities is limited housing supply due to land-use regulations and NIMBYism.
- The abundance agenda, which promotes building more housing, is a more effective solution than antitrust measures.
- Antitrust progressives' focus on corporate power as the root of economic problems is politically motivated but factually unsupported.
- The U.S. health insurance system's inefficiency is due to structural issues, not just corporate profits.
