President Donald Trump

I'm really wondering what your standards are.
I've stayed in kathmandu a while and it's nothing like your description of seattle.

European here. Lucy the Nazidoll is lying, as usual.

Which areas of Milan are trash if any? then we check how many foreign borns / actual citizens (grandparents were citizens) live there. Or we can do Amsterdam or Bruxelles

This is complete bs.
One of the major problems is people owning many properties and substracting them to the market, either by keeping them empty or turning them in airbnbs.
It became such a problem a lot of cities have borderline riots againts airbnbs (metaphorical).
Housing isn't short.

We were talking specifically about the UK.

50% of the presidential couple in the US is foreign born

And yet you talked about this for the US many times, please could you stop bsing people once in your life?

You should read before commenting. I wrote in the USA there are places with very cheap housing. American problem with housing is that sought after places don't build enough of it though.

For the UK it's nationwide, and that's what you answered about talking airbnbs lol.

Ofc immigration does increase the price of housing everywhere it happens, definitionally, you increase demand without increasing supply. But say in places like Italy which are otherwise depopulating, that effect isn't even remotely as disastrous as in the UK.

And ofc toursim as well does something similar in a world with airbnb and equivalent services.

Unclear why you want to deny that taking extra people in increases housing prices. Please stop denying objective reality.

I'm sure I probably posted this before, but it's a very good article.

Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocri...

Some IMAX level projection...

Imagine how crazy it is that we now almost never question the authenticity of these posts from Trump.

what's AOC + 3, a betting line?

I think it's a reference to "The Squad" or whatever that dumb name was.

Lol at Trump being smart enough to understand how a betting line works. I doubt he can count to 20 without taking his socks off.

Ah the squad ok. Yes looks like that's it even if it isn't 4 people anymore lol

For some reason you can't accept that you can be and in fact are a socialist without wanting what you call "crazy socialist policies" if you support nationalisation of public services and utilities, much higher taxes on the wealthy to reduce the pay gap to pre-Friedman levels as I stated upthread, and the co-operative movement that devolves decision making and profits to workers.

Many utilities are public in the USA, including in LA where the local public utilities serves more than 4M people for water and electricity.

High income people in california face marginal income tax rates (all included) that go above 50%.

Co-operative and analogous entities are legal and exist in all american states, and that includes banks (credit unions) and asset management institutions (vanguard, which isn't a listed company rather is owned by the people investing in it and with it).

But for some reasons even if they have state-controlled utilities, the wealthy are taxed more than 50% on their marginal $ of income, and co-operatives (and similar arrangements) are available for most sectors, i don't believe you consider LA a place that runs on socialism.

From Karl:

I’m just drawing the lines the places that most socialists draw them. Just because I don’t want insane wannabe technocrats like Thiel and Musk to control our futures for the “greater good” doesn’t mean I want to imprison every billionaire unless they give up 90% of their net worth (which I guess includes their stock portfolios which would tumble in value if we tried to liquidate them causing massive unpredictable market volatility).

...You've never been to Dublin have you?

...you've never been to Paris have you?

In an all seriousness, there’s slightly fewer murders each year in San Francisco proper (800k people) as there are in all of Ireland (5+mm)

If we go by the Bay Area 7+mm then it’s several multiples higher in murder rate compared to Ireland

Also what gives with your population? I come from a large family and need to constantly respond with “no we’re not Irish” how come the native Irish don’t have sexy time like their American brethren?

Many times, it's all about the immigrants there

I'd certainly nationalise their companies. Amazon too.

And put a high property tax on high value property. Try avoiding that tax. If a billionaire wants to swerve this by living in a Portakabin off a motorway, they can. And we can all laugh at them when they do.

It was pretty shitty in the 80s and 90s and pretty much still is. When my in laws visited I had to dissuade my father in law from going down the quays as it's just an army of almost exclusively Irish crackheads. The city centre has been dodgy since I was a kid.
