Do our soldiers have helmets yet? That could help to project our will.

Lower home values would be a popular policy to focus on, instead of trying to moralize while innocent people suffer.

Housing prices only 10x income with highways built in 1960.

JK Rowling argument put simply is that women need a safe space, that there are opportunistic men that will abuse workarounds that let them access this safe space, therefore there needs to be tighter regulations on who can enter the safe space.

Does she address that argument in some part of the video?

The money supply grows about 8% on average, if you believe that money can flow from an ever more abundant asset into an ever scarcer asset then its really just two pieces of a puzzle.

Housing was likely no different before 2008, a lack of supply relative to cheap debt kept prices elevated, it wasnt until housing completions were too high that it began to fail. Before then it was simply a liquidity sponge being used to create a windfall to ultimately increase aggregate demand, which is how our monetary system functions.

What would be cool is if we funded it with taxes. Given we now spend more in interest on debt than we do our health transfers, its kind of silly to not fund a social program you want to keep in perpetuity.

Doomberg was saying Carney was going to run for election in order to push pipelines through Quebec for a while now, using a separation crisis to do so. All his predictions seem to be coming true.
