I didn't agree with OP, but here you are, doing your damnedest to prove their point.

I wish wagons were more popular. They're great for fitting all the stuff in for the family, but lighter and much better handling. I don't know why SUVs became the thing, but I wish wagons would be a come-back. A Tesla wagon would be awesome.

I think most people support the union on this one. Polls show overwhelming support, across the political spectrum.

The average UK household has 2.36 residents. That still leaves a deficit of more than 21,000 people. And this gap compounds year on year on year.

Thanks. Yeah he definitely subscribes to the Wall Street belief that wages are driving inflation.

You seem to have me confused with someone arguing about refugees. I quoted the net migration. That means when you add up everyone who left, and everyone who arrived, 504,000 people were added to the UK. They need to sleep somewhere. Do you want them to sleep in tents?

In the US, the fed’s stated strategy is to keep wages down.

It's not their stated strategy but it's probably safe to assume they subscribe to the baseless "wage price spiral." The bottom line is that there is still a LOT of stimulus money circulating, keeping inflation high. Ideally this would be targeted with a tax on the wealthy, but in the absence of that, the Fed has to use their very blunt tools. I don't see inflation improving until there's a recession.
