Does the BBC think it's improper for a speaker to state their opinion that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history?
Because I think almost all historians would readily agree that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.

Still depressing that this isn’t THE story of his first year.
The numbers vary from study to study but hundreds of thousands of people have died because of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio illegally disbanding USAID — a body count on par with the first eight years of the Syrian civil war — In just seven months. It’s mass death that is simply unfathomable in scale.

I’m not going to read more into the beef here, but it’s worth noting that a family of four making ~110k-130k qualifies for low-income housing in four counties in the Bay Area. Choosing not to build housing pushes everyone on the housing ladder deeper into rent burden and poverty.
just read some Substack post with a maybe quarter-baked argument that the "real" poverty line is $136,000. come on

Klein is just the latest to buy into the idea that regulation is stifling or limiting our natural ability to provide for everyone- instead of the reality that regulation is necessary to limit predatory capitalism.
“Klein looks at his chart and sees…excessive gov‘t restrictions, such as zoning and outdated safety requirements.
I look at his chart and see the lasting devastation to housing that resulted from letting a bubble grow unchecked in the first decade of this century.“
and Abundance inflates bubbles!
