This whole affordable housing thing really gives me the sh1ts!!
Things like paid deposit Government schemes COULD work if the entire process was transparent to developers! Instead its only applied to new housing with the unintended consequence being developers dont drop their prices on houses that dont sell and instead use the paid deposit as an incentive to get those houses off their hands which just means house prices stay ridiculously high!!
Just let people use that money where ever the hell they want instead of only ever giving that money to developers and their over priced/under built shit expensive houses!

tomo,
The vivabarneslaw videos give me a 30 second teaser, then invite login/payment to continue.
Roberts looked to have two badges on his lapel. I couldn't identify either of them. What did you make out?
We discussed Ricks a while back. He seemed a bit deranged at the time (and I was already unimpressed with his Churchill / Orwell dual bio). I'm not sure what to make of the tweet you linked to — all seems a bit overwrought. (Hadn't heard of christofascists before, which might reveal my sheltered life)
The Roberts tweet on the "affordable housing" money pit is the tip of the iceberg, but it's all good from the government's perspective. I'm having bother thinking of a time when a government politician, spruiking his record, would talk about what was achieved; it's *always* about how much money was spent. I don't like it at all, but it seems to get the nod from the electorate. Hoping that'll change.
I was thinking about a joke I first saw on Usenet back in the early '90s. I think it applies to many things, but not all (e.g. Fauci's machinations). It strikes me as a particularly good fit for the current AI mania. Probably a fair component of the embracing of EVs by some car makers too. The nearer you are to hands-on, the more you can see that it doesn't work.
It might be a modern take on an old saying: Distance lends enchantment to the view.

I'd be interested to know if this video is available outside Locals without being logged in - cookies etc. - it's a mild PITA to check from here....

"entertained himself with power games" is on the money I feel, there are some individuals who feel invulnerable from public criticism that plays to a swaggering attitude and Fauci looks like a very prominent one ....

Locals links about what I expected, thanks - good to have confirmation.
Rickes is touted as authoritative by liberals but he's almost at batshit as Keith Olbermann.
Roberts's badges - ha- yes I did see that but the UN rainbow badge on Kelly nettled me...
"The Plan" obviously worked on some level for UK Post Office.
