If by freedom, you mean protected from the cultural preferences of the British, then yes more free.

Skin in the game is the analysis of systems and what works.

Skin in the game is very thoughtful.

He comes across as being made into a damaged psychopath. Just as the left focus on the Koch brothers, the rights focus on Soros, may in parts have some fire behind the smoke.

They are there for when the brown stuff hits the fan and the CBs print money to buy them again... QE the new rate lever...

Trump was not in the playbook. This is not coordinated. I have a huge supply of popcorn

Absolutely. And you have been helpful in shifting my thinking so thanks for that. It was from coming here that I realised that buying a house was just one of many capital assets, and not necessarily a good fit for me.

Hi - though tbf, I am privileged to have done well out of wages too - until I am off-shored or automated.
