Do you understand what the words baseline and deviation from baseline mean? I thought I made it pretty obvious the point i'm making.


I couldn't give less of a shit if you are interpreting the pre covid levels as baseline. That baseline is still above wage growth and inflation, which is why the problem didn't start in 2019/2020.

Covid may have exasperated the situation, but it didn't cause it. It just accelerated an existing trend of housing prices outpacing inflation.


Looking back, Surf already summed it up nicely for you.

I get it, numbers are hard. 5%, 11%, 17% it's all the same to you.

It's a shit point to make because if someone is trying to buy a house, a 5% increase year over year is a lot more palatable versus a 17% year increase (and that's nationalized, in many states that increase is over 25% over the last year). it's not all the same.

Maybe you just don't understand integrity, or doing the right thing? The US is acting against its short term economic interests by supporting Ukraine because it's the right thing to do.

There is moral high ground to helping the defenseless to defend themselves, and the idea that we should withhold that help so that Ukraine can be killed faster is asinine.


I will not defend my character to you :)
That is a clown woke perspective as they get. It is quite adorable if you actually believe that is what is happening.
You may be a good person but that does not excuse an almost willful level of ignorance and oversimplification.
Anyway, good luck facing the hoards of Sauron in that black and white world you are describing.

Amongst all you people supporting Putin, I've yet to encounter a single one of you who possesses any character.

America's policy as related to Nato is one of long term strategic interests in order to maintain, or gain further, geo-political strength. Therefore when comments relating to america suffering short term loss in the quest for freedom are bandied about, I tend to sigh. I am not surprised more people are sighing.

Oh look, you keep making things up that I never said.

Covid made it worse, but the fundamental problem has existed for a long time. "Hey look, it tripled during Covid!" Yeah, but it was already unsustainable prior to that....

Is that too hard to wrap your mind around?
