The housing crisis is global. It is NOT a problem with supply and demand.
It is because, whenever the economy tanks or crashes, the response is for central banks to lower interest rates to encourage individuals to go further into debt, to
"support" the economy.

This is from an interview with a Canadian political writer Ron Graham by @PaulWells.
If you want to understand the collapse in Canadian journalism and writing about politics, look at the line that says people are being paid the same per word as they did in 1970.

O'Leary's statement casting doubt on women & girls abused by Maxwell and Epstein is disgusting and shameful. There is no definitive evidence to suggest that O'Leary is on an Epstein List, but the @nytimes.com mentions him alongside Peter Nygard: www.nytimes.com/2016/11/30/m... #epstein #oleary

I had someone insult me for suggesting that the Nobel Prize for Economics is not real. This is the Nobel Prize page, which says "The prize in economic sciences is not a Nobel Prize."

I saw that Greg Kelly on Newsmax was suggesting that perhaps Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein, was innocent. Alex Acosta was the prosecutor who gave Epstein his sweetheart deal in the 2000s. Trump named him Labor Secretary. He was appointed to the Newsmax Board June 12.

Reading about Elon Musk's rampant drug use on the campaign trail, the key to understanding an openly criminal and corrupt U.S government is not 4D Chess:

The #Conservative Party and their Leader Andrew Scheer are, undermining Canada's elections and its democracy by lying about recounts.
Since Scheer is the new Leader, someone should ask him - again - about Mike Roman who ran Trump's election fraud.

I hate to break it to @mulaney.bsky.social and Conan O'Brien but I think the Dr. Jack Horner you hung up on your @netflix.com show who was technical advisor for the first FIVE Jurassic Park films AND inspired a lead character in the franchise. (!)

Poilievre is economically illiterate.
You know what *did* create inflation in 2022-23?
Price fixing by oil companies.
