>My guess is that while your anecdote may infuriate you, the effect of investors who don’t rent out their homes is negligible on housing prices.
No that's actually a large part of housing problems. Like a third of Manhattan real estate is empty. And Manhattan is already super dense but still has homeless people.
I doubt they're trying to prop up a single tech journalist. If I had to speculate on intelligence agency motivations I'd speculate that they're trying to attack SuperMicro.

Much of the maintenance of Britian's infrastructure is still done by the government. Rails, for example, are government maintained but we just don't get the profits anymore.
You don't see discussion on that because you're on a tech industry website, not a janitorial forum. And the percentage of women in janitorial work is nearly twice that as the percentage in tech per BLS: https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat11.htm
