I love that they made the comparison to Hacker News in terms of request sizes lmao. Yea definitely a representative sample

the vast majority of the anti-statin crowd are just regurgitating talking points they heard from people in their diet tribe - usually keto/carnivore

supposedly that comes mostly from observational studies whereas RCT's seem to show that at some point full regain will probably happen (although can take 1-2 years). The Observational studies don't seem to control for people stopping GLP-1's but still trying other drugs/weight loss methods which is where the discrepancy from RCT's seems to be.

they have long lasting effects if the changes are long lasting. Almost never the case

so you don't have any evidence? you are just hoping there will be evidence in the future?

Separately - are you against minimum wage increases as a way to make things more affordable?

and your evidence that property prices are almost entirely set by wages is?

> It's the opposite of a thought-terminating cliche

> You could start by reading Marx, who laid a lot of the groundwork.

Are you aware that you just responded with another? You did the "read theory" meme lol

> I like the way you trailed off halfway through your knee-jerk reaction, underscoring just how much your response is an automated result of indoctrination

so you don't have solutions or evidence is what I'm gathering? just another lefty populist spouting tired platitudes?

I guess I'm just confused why your entire comment is about landlords and the super-wealthy when the article and message you are responding to don't mention either.

are you referring to NIMBY homeowners? because yes, people who own houses are the most likely to prevent more housing from being built (although not the only reason more housing isn't being built)

what proportion of the housing crisis do you think is because of what you linked, and what would be your evidence?

No I am mostly agreeing with the quoted point

really? you think it's not significantly effected by anything else? like amount of housing available?

> The common factor: the capital class screwing over the working class.

This thought terminating cliche is getting real old. What are your solutions? and what evidence do you have that those solutions will solve the problems? Shaking your fists at "the elites" and regurgitating populist slop is not going to

> Increasing wages will not fix the housing crisis, and will just drive prices higher.

This is true though?

Are you saying that you blame apartment prices on landlords? If you build more apartments then market rent goes down and landlords can't charge more if people can just find cheaper apartments. It's not like landlords just choose whatever price they want - it's significantly bound by the demand.

> Obviously because they care more about things than just making money.

why should someone be banned from selling their land if they want?
