George Orwell, All Issues Are Political Issues, Manufactured Housing Challenges, and You

The ubiquitous Drudge Report linked up an interesting report from France 24 that said that there is another surge in interest in George Orwell and his writing, including the classic novel, 1984.

Interesting, because MHProNews has recently used quotes from Orwell in various reports to spark thoughts that insightful soul previously pondered that should speak to our times.

For those who never read, or may not clearly recall the themes, “Nineteen Eighty-Four, often published as 1984, is a dystopian novel by English writer George Orwell published in June 1949, whose themes center on the risks of government overreach, totalitarianism and repressive regimentation of all persons and behaviors within society,” said Wikipedia.

Dystopian fiction has arguably become more common in recent decades. Hunger Games, Handmaids Tale, Blade Runner, Ready Player One, A Clockwork Orange, and Divergent are but a few examples.

A dystopia…is a community or society that is undesirable or frightening. It is translated as “not-good place” and is an antonym of utopia, a term that was coined by Sir Thomas More and figures as the title of his best known work, Utopia, published 1516, a blueprint for an ideal society with minimal crime, violence and poverty,” also per Wikipedia.

GeorgeOrwellQuoteBigBrotherIsWatchingYouManufacturedHousingIndustryMHProNews
The classic line about Big Brother from Orwell’s novel, 1984. In an era when CCTV cameras are proliferating, smart phones track you, your car may track you, social media platforms track you, these are among the reasons that a new generation are turning to ponder Orwell’s insights.
GeorgeOrwellQuotesWarIsPeaceFreedomIsSlaveryIgnoranceIsstrengthManufacturedHousingMHProNews
Orwell’s point here was a subtle one, where people are asked by Big Brother to believe something clearly contradictory, and yet accept it as true. It’s akin to Warren Buffett supporting candidates that passed or protected Dodd-Frank, while 21st Mortgage’s Tim Williams and MHI postured efforts to repeal or amend portions of the regulations from Dodd-Frank. Two contradictory positions, yet thousands of MH professionals went along.

Ready Player One features as part of its dark backdrop images of pre-HUD Code mobile homes, or older manufactured homes. It is arguably an example of how the good news about manufactured homes has been blurred by certain movies, or TV shows like the Trailer Park Boys. These are examples of what should be considered as reverse product placement.

Before saying what follows, let’s remind readers that MHProNews and our public-focused sister-site, MHLivingNews, are pro-industry, pro-consumer, and pro-free enterprise. We celebrate honest success, but oppose dishonest manipulations that disadvantage millions. In that context, the growing battle over the power of corporate giants that want to impose their world-view on society took center stage this past week, as Facebook, Google, and other big tech giants are reportedly the targets of planned antitrust investigations and possible legal action.

Free speech must include the ability to escape the power of those tech-giants to de-platform, restrict, or effectively censor speech. They are supposed to be neutral platforms, but appear to be anything but even handed.

As MHProNews reported during the 2018 campaign, a relatively small group of the top billionaires are disproportionately left-leaning. Is it any surprise that those who have such raw financial and media power are accused of tilting their platforms against those who oppose their world view?

MHProNews covers historic topics too, precisely to counter the concern that Orwell prudently raised.

 

The solution isn’t to regulate the tech giants, or other monopolistic entities, as that will only serve to safeguard them against potential rivals that might otherwise challenge them. Big taxes, big regulations, these are tools of those who have powerful influence over government to limit those with might otherwise opposed them.

That’s why from the outset, the founders of America believed it was as important to rebel against monopolies as it was to rebel against the crown that bestowed that monopoly.

American history, and much of world history, must be understood through a very precise prism. The powerful attempt to find ways to distort the law and society to advantage themselves against all others.

Those who desire freedom must be willing to expose those distortions, and fight against them. The American Way was and ideally remains one of Constitutionally limited government that also limits the potentially raw power of monopolistic businesses.

The reports that follow below from the week of 6.2.2019 to 6.9.2019 has numerous reports on the issues of what is keeping manufactured housing from achieving its potential to serve millions of people. HUD Secretary Carson did a good thing, several in fact, for manufactured housing.

But to understand why the manufactured home industry is struggling, one must be willing to take the advice of contrarian investor Sam Zell – Chairman of Equity Lifestyle Properties – who famously quipped, “When others are going left, look right.”

Just as some are now trying to dethrone the role that the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. played in American history, there are those who try to diminish the goals that the founders of our nation had. These are just two examples of some of the points that George Orwell was trying to convey.

One must separated “wheat from chaff.” The allegations about Rev Martin Luther King, Jr. are not new. The chaff of a person’s life does not eliminate the good – the wheat – that the same person has produced. It is often those willing to be counter-cultural that are able to effect positive social change.

We, the People” must learn to think critically and analytically. Objective thinking are part of the mechanism by which freedom is protected. It is also how it can be re-captured when it begins to slip away.

Abraham Lincoln was violently opposed, but he stood up for what to him were obvious threats and injustices. By doing so, at great cost, he preserved the Union and made it a better nation for generations to come. Every era has its own battles to fight, and our industry has internal and external challenges to the obvious benefits our proven form of affordable homes provides. That’s needed by millions more of our fellow Americans. By getting to the core issues, and grappling with them, that’s how the future can be brighter for white hats and independents.

With no further adieu, let’s dive into the headline news, reports, fact-checks, and analysis from the manufactured home industry’s runaway most read source in MHVille. MHProNews. Thanks for making it so.

As a dad myself, Happy Father’s Day next weekend to all the other dads out there in MHVille and beyond. If your father is still among the living, and you don’t already have plans to be together for a while that day, why not give him a call?

Yes, it can be complicated.

But sometimes, taking on the challenging and difficult is the only way to get to the root issues.
