„reduced work effort, increased leisure spending and investment in risky financial assets (including crypto) are all disproportionately common among young adults who face little to no realistic prospect of being able to afford a house.“

Unschooling is, more often than not, a fancy word for educational neglect, exhibit I've lost count.

The reason this kind of isolation is not considered child abuse is because HSLDA actively fought state attempts to include extreme isolation in child abuse laws, bragging about it as stopping backdoor homeschooling bans.

For the second year in a row, the wealth gains for the 100 richest Americans exceeded what ALL American households spent on groceries combined.
~$995B for billionaires vs ~$775B in total grocery spending.
We have an oligarchy and inequality problem masquerading as an affordability crisis.

Forgot the alt text: Ken Martin, Chair of the DNC, a white man dressed in a grey suit and tie, stands in front of two US flags. The right hand and half the face of an ASL interpreter, seated in the bottom right hand corner, are visible.

"According to the most recent edition of an annual Harris Poll, for the first time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate."

People need to acknowledge that all of the loud voices on the "Dems have to move to the center" team are paid by a Super PAC with the express purpose of electing more moderate Dems. They are not putting impartial empirical research out there. it's just Super PAC fundraising masquerading as "data"
none of these people (inclusive of UK labour) seem to understand that voters want their leaders to *lead* them, not reflect their own ill thought preferences back at them
