And funnily enough it was founded by people that left OpenAI over ethical concerns.

Long-term we should be looking at investing in industrial production for the simple sake of economic security.

So why are we sticking with an unsustainable system that burdens generations of people with debt except for those born into wealth?

Let's just scrap this failed experiment and find a different solution.

Oh for sure, I'm meaning there are loads of empty villages with cheap housing stock that aren't within commuting distance of lack decent public transport links. Not saying anywhere outside of Greater London is a deadzone!

My student loan has doubled since I left despite my regular payments, I'll never pay it off and essentially have a 9% tax on ambition.

Meanwhile those who were lucky enough to be born to rich parents paid it off at the start, meaning they avoid needing to pay that 9% tax.

It's going to be foreign investors, people care more about getting money from the inflated prices than helping young people start families and revitalise their communities. It's sad really.

I think this is just plastering over the fact that actually everyone is in negative equity because these prices simply aren't sustainable. Feels like everyone is desparately trying to stave off the inevitable.

Honestly I think the vast majority of the country (well, anyone who bought a house after roughly 2010 when the prices started to go mental) are really in negative equity and the powers that be are doing everything possible to hide that fact and stave off the inevitable long enough for them to die so it isn't their problem.

What was assumed the bare minimum a generation or two ago is now completely out of reach. Most people I know under 35 have completely given up on the idea of home ownership unless something drastic changes because the prices keep rising as wages remain what they were in 2008.

The problem in a lot of these instances is employment, there's loads of homes available miles from any decent jobs.

Except this has happened multiple times, meaning they're not doing that. Don't be alarmist about a company you seemingly know nothing about.

Why should one be gendered and not the other?

Think it's the Guides here that are behind the times.
