The position is that the evidence doesn’t support cost as a reason people don’t have kids on aggregate. Countries like SK and Hungary that have thrown cash at parents have seen zero reversal in decline. Every country that gets rich the birth rate plummets. I find the answers pretty...

Dean Austin’s summer scouting consisted entirely of googling championship clubs awards ceremonies.

Also “it’s cost of living” needs to explain why lower income people have more kids on average than higher income.

Let’s see how planning shakes out. On energy they’re certainly doing a lot. A big reason behind the current reform freak out is by 2029 well have broken the back of most of it. On CoL, we’re not a particular outlier in that really. Birth rate really is a function of wealth and women’s education...

Just the weirdest cosplay choices. You don’t even get a fake sword.

That’s been the plan so far!

So there’s two levels? Human life and worthless? I think maliciously planning and executing and then gloating about and then showing zero remorse for a plan to destroy something irreplaceable that took 100 years to build and was valuable to thousands of people when its not your first crime...

If everyone would just start fucking a lot of this would work itself out.

The thing is it’s your generation that are the first but mine will be along soon and with a lot less property wealth and savings and need even more state support and there’s no sign of birth rate turning around so that’s likely to just carry on indefinitely. Boomers have it worst because well...

Had to get the snakes out first 🐍

ideal world, pushing for top 4 you’d want Torp and this guy at 8, Grimes and Sheaf at 6, plus a Rudi backup who is more an out and out 10 IMO.

Let’s be honest that green card probably not feeling so secure these days if you’re from Venezuela. Probably dodging ICE agents on his way to training these days. Best for all if he comes here.

What’s that a fiery South American box to box midfielder you say?

Stuffing the NI raise onto employers was stupid. The tax pledge really is the gift that keeps on giving. Every single major misstep comes from that.

We were and still are living in Europe, so if it was it was a stupid one.

Not British citizen and not a commonwealth country. The idea the opinion of someone who doesn’t live somewhere governed by the government is worth as much or even more than those that do is a nonsense.

Yes! Expat votes are stupid. Sick Boy gets a vote but my missus who lives and works here doesn’t?
