You know, the world is not the US. Fascism's rising all around the globe and Trump is merely a symptom of a much bigger disaster.

An increase in rent shows a induced demand for the property.

Nope. Increase in rent shows the pumped up scarcity.

More people are wanting to live in this location, thus the rents have gone up because of this demand.

Again nope. You are spreading propaganda without knowing it. Rent is driven by rental algorithms like Yardi and Realpage. Supply and demand do not work if the property is in the hands of few that calculate their prices using the same database and the same algorithms.

Yes and no. Yes because fuck big corps that buy houses and set rent price to achieve fill factor of 0.7, no because very these corps buy cheap dirty houses, renovate them, and double the rent.

A Soviet and an American spies meet.

American: I adore your propaganda, it's so strong. It keeps the nation united.

Soviet: Thank you comrade. But our propaganda is shit, it's so obvious everyone knows it and nobody believes it. I think that your, American, propaganda is the best in the world.

American: The US doesn't have propaganda.

Western nations aren't funding people to work in Russia.

They are. VoA and Red Cross do function there. Alongside with a thousand of commercial organizations like Manpower and Unilever

Russia requires people who live there and accept funding from overseas to register as foreign agents

Yes and no. Currently, the government can pronounce anyone a foreign agent stating that they are under foreign influence. Money is not the source of this status anymore.

Foreign research initiatives in Russia used to work a little bit different to what you have probably used to. There were, effectively two ways:

  1. Foreign organizations grant Russian scientists money for research, but the money is transferred to the Russian government, and the government gives it to the scientists in a year.

  2. A foreign organization and a Russian both give a grant to a cross-national group. The foreign one transfers money to the foreign part of the group and the Russian one transfers to the Russian.

Both these ways seem to work right now, so the claim in the article looks suspicious to me.
