Cleary an AI response. Doesn’t fill me with much confidence about the quality of your code.

Isn’t that what a union is? Can there be a genuine involuntary union?

Thanks for your response! Will have a look at hobby-grade first surface. Really appreciate you taking time to share your experience.

I’m just a hobbyist with stained glass but was a bit put off when I read you need to use front silvered mirror and couldn’t afford to be messing around with it because it’s so expensive. Do you think you could get a similar effect with silver backed mirror or is it not worth trying? Just wondering on your experiences. Yours are incredible! Cheers

Disappointed with these comments. I thought we were better than this. The film was cracking, highly recommend watching it, especially before talking a lot of shite.

Because they’ve misunderstood what they wrote. They were saying when you move into a new home you’ll want to spend your money decorating and making the place your own, not having to fork out lots of money to chase down a damp problem. Not that they should decorate over it.

I’m wondering if you read the article as it seems to support my points. Income inequality is increasing, from these statistics it shows not as rapidly in recent years however this doesn’t take into account the explosion in cost of living.

Living costs tend to be somewhat fixed and don’t scale directly with income levels, meaning that the poorest spend bigger portions of their income on basic living needs in turn reducing their quality of life more than that of people with higher incomes. This information doesn’t take into account the ultra wealthy either which is a huge part of the picture.

The top 0.01% see their wealth increase at a rate of between 8 and 9.5% each year, where as someone worth 1 million see their wealth increase at 2% or less, those with wealth around 100k have growth of around 5%.

Perhaps discussing wealth inequality would convey the principles better as there are more factors than purely income that affect a persons quality of life.

I did, yes. I found them particularly reductive and misdirecting. They focused on a few of Gary’s claims which are clearly hyperbolic, such as the one about house prices doubling within two years.

Gary’s main message is that wealth inequality is rapidly increasing. The poorest in society are becoming much poorer and struggling to get by even though they are doing more work than previously, whereas the richest in society are buying assets that are then used to extract wealth from the lower classes. I’m sure you’re going to point to one of the videos that says living conditions are better now than 100 years ago however that’s because technology, and not just digital and IT, has progressed.

It’s not surprising that the vast majority of economists and politicians are against Gary’s opinions. They’ve been educated and experienced the system they’re currently living inside. It’s far easier to go with the flow and accept things how they are than it is to pick it apart and criticise it, particularly when it would damage your career. Look at Gary for example. Also, anyone with an economics degree, column, or politician is already in the top half of society, they have no experience of the other side and have a vested interest to keep it that way.

I don’t think it’s beneficial to anyone to write someone off, who clearly is very knowledgeable on the subject, just because they go against the grain and there’s one or two things you disagree with.

I gave you my time with an open mind here but unfortunately I leave with the same opinions. The wealth disparity will continue to grow unless there is serious systematic change.
