The president of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, has not worked as a teacher in over 25 years, yet she still accrues a teacher's pension on top of her six-figure salary as a union executive.

Forbes: Private Investment In Housing Still Heating Up Through 2023
The housing market is hard to predict, but so far there hasn't been a downturn or freeze in the market. Policy makers should encourage private investment in housing. Builders scaled back their construction efforts due to rising interest rates, but existing homes listed for sale have also decreased, leading to a reduction in supply and increased demand. The housing market hasn't come to a halt because there was already a shortage of available homes even before interest rates increased. Local governments should incentivize more housing development to address the shortage and prevent prices from rising rapidly. The market for newly constructed and rehabilitated homes is expected to remain busy despite inflation and interest rate impacts. Private investors are continuing to purchase homes and have a positive outlook for the rest of the year. Policy makers should encourage private investment in housing to address the ongoing supply challenge.
