FDR seizes control of Montgomery Ward, Dec. 27, 1944
Remember when corporate/wealth taxes were like 90% and we built and entire interstate highway system, airports, rails, etc? Most wouldn’t.
“Montgomery Ward Chairman Sewell Avery refused to comply with the terms of three different collective bargaining agreements with the United Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union hammered out between 1943 and 1944. In April 1944, after Sewell refused a second board order, Roosevelt called out the Army National Guard to seize the company’s main plant in Chicago.”

Rate The Landlord already has hundreds of reviews from tenants, turning the tables on the typical power dynamic with a landlord. It is the most recent attempt by renters to insert more transparency in a rental process that has a huge power imbalance in favor of landlords.
landlords have leveraged a lack of affordable units, tenant unions and eviction defense have seen renewed resurgence. Tenant-centered websites like JustFix have emerged that allow users to trace their buildings’ owner and request repairs. Rate The Landlord is focused on giving renters more information before they sign a lease.
