My hope is that with his death, Charlie Kirk achieves a more positive influence on America than he did in his entire racist, anti-LBGTQ life: to highlight the scourge of gun violence that is singularly destroying our country.

Frost: We need housing not handcuffs. We have a housing crisis in this country. Every time the rent goes up $100, homelessness goes up 9%… We shouldn’t be criminalizing homeless people for the failures of government

Low interest rates after 2008 failed to achieve any real growth or increase in living standards in the UK.
If we stopped obsessing over rates, we might see how the resources are distributed – and how it's this that's holding our economy back, not monetary policy.
