Why? It's the usual crap that fails to acknowledge the problem, thus can only result in very poor conclusions. And the problem isn't supply, planning, nimbys, interest rates etc.

Huge victory for Russia over the US and Europe. Poor Ukraine must be feeling completely alone. Not sure why Zelensky provides so many nice photo opportunities for these cowards.

The US doesn't provide any financial aid. Why did the interviewer allow this nonsense?

Why are Europe and Ukraine so wedded to the belief that the US should lead this process? What leverage does the US have? What does it bring to the table? I genuinely don't get it.

Appreciate your answer. These companies, like Manual, have all the data on the people they are prescribing to. Can it not just accessed and cross-referenced with heart attack patients to ascertain the correlation? I know, data protection etc, but this is a potential public health issue.

This is 100% correct. Both nice, but utterly useless. Their weaknesses have made the world a far more dangerous place.

TRT has increased my red blood cell count and high blood pressure, so increased risk of heart attack had already occurred to me. I was thinking of getting a CT angiogram even before I started taking TRT in order to get to the bottom of some symptoms. This was be of no help detecting soft plaques?

As someone on TRT, with high blood pressure and a history of exercise induced arrhythmias, this has got me worried. I think you already said as there is no way to reliably detect soft plaques, even a precautionary CT angiogram is a waste of time. Do you have any other suggestions?

How do you know the US is supplying intelligence? Europe is buying weapons from the US to supply to Ukraine. The US is no longer supplying Ukraine with any weapons or funds AFAIK.

If your methodology is correct for the number of homes, then so is mine regarding cars or any other consumable. Can you therefore tell me if you agree that the UK is ten million cars short, and if so, what we do about it? Thanks.

Despite having millions more vacant properties than the UK, Paris is more expensive than London per m2. It has worse homeless and rough sleeping figures. Centre of Cities thinks this is an excellent result.

If Britain is missing 2.3m homes, then it is also missing 10 million cars compared to per capita consumption in North America. It would be retarded to suggest we change policies to increase the number of cars on our roads, but that's Centre of for Cities logic. Not serious people.

It won't solve anything because supply isn't the problem. However, because people are led to believe it is, then they've fulfilled their political duties.

This isn't hard. 60% of UK wealth comes from merely the right to exclude others from a part of this earth. It can all be taxed away, solving equality issues like housing overnight and facilitate radical reductions of taxes on output. A transformational win-win.

2 I'd argue that if we had a just system of property rights, which land justice is a key part of, then the state would not have to involve itself the business of re-distributive tax and spending whatsoever, other than cases of disability. The only fair/necessary tax being a head/poll tax.

1 On a practical level, you make a valid point. However, it is from principles that convincing arguments are established. True, the state may well be best placed to administer the collection and redistribution of land rents, for which it has the moral right to charge a fee. No more, no less.
