“They”? All Jewish people? The statement is obviously false. You need to take a pause and consider what you say.

People who are Jewish are automatically presumed to be serving foreign governments? You are on the wrong platform. Go back to X.

Right, so it is okay to have a private armed militia protecting cash in transit (security license - class 1F armed guard), but not Jewish people?

The reason that you find this weird is because it seems you agree with AOC’s political views. Many Democrat and independent voters do not. It can be debated whether a jump to the left will assist the Democrats return to power.

A court cannot ‘fund a case’. It has no money to do that. A court rules on the cases brought before it. The ruling that a president has criminal immunity has nothing to do with the present case. The Attorney-General and the Director of the FBI do not have criminal immunity.

The Supreme Court are not the police. They do not appear and investigate crimes. The Court can only take action when someone brings a case to it.

When the demand for imports in a country declines, the value of its currency (under a free-floating regime) tends to appreciate.

If it’s backpackers’ accommodation it is not housing. It is tourist and visitor accommodation. No-one is actually living there.

The point is there are many approved developments where supplying the residence ‘at cost’ would deliver a dwelling that would exceed the current borrowing capacity of potential buyers. Hence the apartments do not proceed.

Developers of residential properties are price takers, not price setters. The ability of people to buy apartments is constrained by what they can borrow, which in turn depends on their income and interest rates.

Sure. Which hospital upgrades, school openings or public transport projects should the government defer to subsidise loss-making housing developments?

If the value of the development project is negative, relative to the value of the land at its current use, the development will not proceed.

When you borrow money from a bank you need to pay interest on the loan. In the same way when you raise equity capital to get/keep a business going you must pay a return, adjusted for the risk of the investment. If you cannot do this the people who have the capital will invest their money elsewhere.

Similarly, there are more complex products and services that need to be provided by larger businesses. Who cares whether they are motivated by profit? As long as they get the job done. You’re kidding yourself if, for example, you think that govt could make a better (or cheaper) smart phone. 2 of 2

The assumption that generation of profits is for ‘a few’ is laughable. The vast army of small business people who drive the economy are motivated by profits, and in pursing profits, end up providing for ‘public needs’. The idea that government could do this better is laughable. 1 of 2

However the new proposal does not include the restrictions on investment in China and new rules for social media companies (that were in the bipartisan bill). So this could be a win for Elon.

Yes, there is a fundamental conflict of interest in exercising the pardon power in these circumstances. That is why the holder of public office should never exercise the pardon power to be benefit family or close associates. Of course Trump transgressed in this way. Still doesn’t make it okay.

The issue is that a key Biden/Democrat selling point over the past six years has been that they are not the sort of people who would suffer Trump-style ethical lapses. Biden has abandoned that position. This is newsworthy. Ethical lapses by Trump are not new. Ethical lapses by Biden are.
