@LiquidDining@QBCCIntegrity@ajamesbragg So flipping houses, but slowly. The principle is the same. Speculators buying and selling existing houses is not "providing accommodation". The houses already were accommodation. It just pushes up prices. The correct policy is to make speculation in shelter unattractive.
@LiquidDining@QBCCIntegrity@ajamesbragg "Existing food", LOL. Nice try. Those investments are in the *ongoing production* and distribution of food, fuel, etc. Thatโs useful. It adds value. Flipping houses doesnโt.
As for your other claim, you'll need a good physiotherapist after that stretch.
@QBCCIntegrity@ajamesbragg "Oh no, currency speculators will have to pay tax now like everybody else" is perhaps not the inspirational rallying-cry you might think it is.
@LiquidDining@QBCCIntegrity@ajamesbragg Yes, it is, because that provides products and services people want. Buying up existing houses produces nothing and forces up prices.
