Head of Data @winefi - sharing uneducated opinions on current affairs, health, data science and @arsenalFC. Writing songs and dancing badly in my free time.
Que loco. Algo escribí por mi tarea y mas que 150,000 personas lo han visto.
This is madness! I wrote a small thing about los Soderos (the soda delivery people in argentina) and more than 150,000 have seen it! In less than an hour.
@alexfmac Completely, his opinions on wealth, “the rich”, capitalism and politics are all informed by his career and the kinds of people he was surrounded by… trading and traders.
@moving_charlie Buying/selling a first time home right now is carnage with SDLT exemptions limits returning to £300,000 at the end of the month. It means a lot to people.
£5000 might be a small % of the purchase price but it’s a big % on top of the deposit you have to save + all other fees
@moving_charlie I suppose in the end it depends on whether you think state runs institutions are ever capable of intelligently managing the risk of debt.
I think they are but the system and incentive structures need to be sound and the people in power intelligent 😅.
@moving_charlie Unaffordable unsustainable debt is bad but government using debt selectively is not. A government running a surplus is a government taking a profit. Collecting more in revenue than it gives back to its tax payers.
(Is the counter argument 😅.. I’m not 100% sure where I stand)
@Ike_Saul Yeah they didn’t want him to say anything inflammatory to Putin and just tried to crowd him out to show off to Putin. There’s clear tactics going on… the morality of these tactics and whether or not they’ll work is another thing
