Sounds like landlords being hit – again. They already face relatively high taxes. Higher rates will discourage investment. Expect higher rents.

Beginning to think stock markets are just evil bro The fact they go DOWN when anything happens that’s good for the average person / the planet at large, but go up when the average person is hurting (layoffs, high corporate profits, etc) is just so beyond disgusting

There is no defending this. A two-tier tax allowance with relief for pensioners paid for by fiscal drag on working people. And before the boomer brigade starts foaming at the mouth: I'm not interested. The allowance should rise - or freeze - equally for everyone.

I DO NOT think people understand that global warming doesn’t mean “no cold weather ever.” It means a warming planet destabilizes weather patterns, causing more extreme weather. This has been explained for decades and people still don’t get it
