The Democratic bill proposed seems to offer funding to landlords while the Republican bills offers landlords nothing. 

(Thankfully the democrats unearned appreciation BS died.)

With land investing/flipping becoming more democratized/accessible  (so many landed courses, tools, resources etc), current prices/RE trends etc, is it still worth getting into land investing/flipping for a brand new RE investor ?

I disliked him when he was a democrat too (which he was for most of his life, he was a major donor to the Democratic Party throughout the 80’s and 90’s then switched parties 5 times, talk about a flip-flopper). 

Now, a Florida Democrat senator (no surprise there) wants the federal government to be the "reinsurer".

. $1500 10 years ago is crazy - I guess education has been democratized since then and places like Udemy can scale educational content in ways others can.

I am not a democrat, just a realist.

The small market size and relationship-based transactions make it difficult for new or smaller players to participate, which aligns with the earlier observation about the lack of services for individual investors.Overall, this market seems to present challenges for growth or democratization, as its current structure favors established, well-connected players with significant capital.

Those in Syria, Iran and North Korea did not enjoy a democratic society, never have unlike the USA.

Back to this topic, as I discussed my opinion with Josh in person, I do not see a value to us members in the new influence system and prefer an idea of a badge system with some democratic means to get a badge, thus removing just about all possibilities for the system to be "cheated" and to provide more valid confirmation (for lack of a better word) to users on who is an expert in what field(s).The idea would be to get rid of the point system and replace with a badge system.
