Chicken is a Scary Economic Indicator Right Now August 07, 2023 Dear Fellow Expat, My computer has a sticker of actor Jeff Daniels playing Joshua Chamberlain in the Civil War epic Gettysburg. Chamberlain was a Union officer in the Civil War who gained fame for his defense of Little Round Top at Gettysburg. The 20th Maine Infantry was trying to hold the high ground, and the 15th Alabama Infantry Regiment stormed up the hill three times, trying to maneuver around them. We'd have seen a much different outcome if Chamberlain’s men hadn’t managed to hold their position. The film, Gettysburg, depicts this critical “battle within the battle.” After the third charge and retreat by the Confederate soldiers, Chamberlain’s men were running very low on ammunition.

This isn't just about economics; it's about fairness, opportunity, and the values that make our country great. While we're working hard and playing by the rules, these institutions are playing a different game—one that's rigged in their favor. It's a concerning trend that affects not just housing but the balance of power and the future of our society.
