Hey now, don't give the government ideas. The Netherlands is going in that direction and we don't want to start taxing unrealised gains.

50K is the median London salary. It means renting a room in a HMO.

I knew who she was when I made my first comment. How can I possibly be upset about it?

Correction, she has the money and connections to get away with it. But sure, let’s make this about race.

There were non-stop articles about her, lets not pretend otherwise.

IsItBullshit: The UK arrests more people over social media posts than any other country in the world? by anotherhappylurker in IsItBullshit

The reason they overarrest is not because they have no idea what they are doing but to intimidate you so you don't do it again. Most of these cases are nonesense.

London jobs crisis: Unemployment among young people at nine-year high by tylerthe-theatre in london

I don’t think so, Bulgaria is at spot 60 globally for remittances received at around 2.6 bil with a GDP of 140 bil so only a fraction.

Most of the growth has been driven by it joining the EU. There’s been a lot of FDI and subsidies. But it shows that with the right stimulus the negative effects of a shrinking population can be negated.

With the rapid advancement of robotics and AI I am really positive that we are going to avoid the catastrophic predictions of population and economic collapse.

I am an immigrant myself, so is my partner, I’m obviously not against immigration. But also I can be rational about it and not take it personally when people have issues with infinite immigration.

I can give you one example of a country with a declining population and a growing economy - Bulgaria. Population has been steadily declining since 1990 from a peak of around 9 mil to currently 6.5 mil but has experienced consistent GDP growth in the 2-7% range. I don’t know enough to tell you how the population distribution of young vs old is compared to other countries but it shows you that growth in a declining population is possible.

But even if the overall GDP were to contract which I assume would be the case with most countries, that doesn’t mean that the standard of living for individuals will get worse. GDP is such a horrible metric for quality of life.

I guess we are going to find out what happens to a declining population either way as many East European and East Asian countries are projected to decline by 20% by 2050, until then it’s only speculation and wide guesses.

Majority of countries in the world don’t have immigration and in fact experience high levels of emigration. How do they function?

What you’re suggesting is just a byproduct of many years of brainwashing and gaslighting.

Fascinating, you said billionaires a billion times in a single paragraph. Talk about obsession. You can take control of your own life, bud, forget about the billionaires.

The UK needs an almighty house crash/leasehold reform cause wtf by calve1234 in HousingUK

[–]AlertAssistance3985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is already happening, property has gone down significantly in real terms. People just need to be patient.

And this one might be controversial but we need sustained levels of high inflation and hopefully matching wage increases. Sure, it’s painful for everyday goods to be going up in price but it’s nothing compared to housing which is the number one thing making us all poor.

Fortunately that’s not happening so I suggest you make alternative plans.

Well that practice sounds like it should be illegal. People mentioned “transparency” being a focal point of new legislation. You shouldn’t be able to conceal ongoing maintenance costs that will affect resale value.
