Indeed we can. (Though you may need to see the progressive light if you are to comfortably assume your rightful place among the left-leaning literati in near future!)
So much to unpack here! Reading your musings acts as my best remedy against Alzheimers because I really have to concentrate. I don't necessarily agree that the economy is rigged towards the elderly, and in fact the insanely low interest rates we've had for so long, up until just recently, have left many retirees with next to no income stream from the savings pool they accumulated throughout their working lives (regardless of whether the home they're living is now worth a lot of money). Nevertheless you make some very compelling arguments and I certainly agree reprehensible that our housing prices were permitted to keep spiralling (in fact they were effectively encouraged to spiral through both low interest rates, excessive spending stimulus packages and the pattern of immigration). We can unpack this more over our dinner later this month. Xx
