@worstall @davidmcw I'm not sure about that – there are only three and a half million second homes in France *total*, and a decent chunk of those must be owned by foreigners. The price of apartments in London (with, presumably, no second home) suggests people here wouldn't need that.

@jefftonna1 @GreatWhiteCon @GeraldKutney @Tony__Heller Interestingly, you cannot find a single lie by me, which proves you are the liar.
@GrahamKirk17 @GeraldKutney The bottom-line is that there are 10s of thousands of legitimate peer reviewed papers that affirm AGW; there are none that debunk it. I.e., your views have no scientific basis.
@cosaingalway @DanCady @glehman11 @canncr @ClarkeMicah @GeraldKutney Ignoring the fact that Galileo was a fully trained physical scientist of the day, had a long track record of experiment and research, and with his observations had clear evidence and a better explanation of the evidence that the orthodoxy couldn’t. https://t.co/wJuxOVLYda
@GeraldKutney Thanks for the referral/suggestion Gerald. Now following him.
@mtnpoet @EarthKeeper22 @GeraldKutney Wow just wow, not a single scientist has ever ignored the sun. I'm going to ask you a direct question and I hope you are honor bound to answer, why do you believe any scientist either paleoclimate or modern climate, ignores the sun can you show any evidence of this? https://t.co/ubFfH1ohin
@GeraldKutney I am. đŸ€“
@GrahamKirk17 @GeraldKutney Opinions don’t matter in Science. Only the findings of the peer reviewed research. Since Deniers reject the findings of scientific research, we gladly and confidently dismiss your rantings as useless
@mtnpoet @25_cycle @EarthKeeper22 @GeraldKutney Some conclusions of climate science are about as settled as any knowledge can be. Others are less well understood. There's nothing difficult to understand about this. Is it settled that emissions from fossil fuels heat the climate, causing significant harm? It absolutely is.
@jefftonna1 @GreatWhiteCon @GeraldKutney @Tony__Heller No. Tony is not saying that there is more sea ice. You are lying. And Tony is lying as well. He is even admitting it within his own tweet. But Tony knows, and is not going to defend himself. because he knows from the past he is going to lose any debate with me. #ClimateBrawl

@JessRowe Pauline Hanson is not merely 'controversial'. She's a racist peddling covid conspiracy theories. Presenting her as just another 'mum' normalises her extremist views. Why would you do this?
Vaccination gives you a head start against Covid by preparing your immune system to recognize and kill the virus if you're exposed.
Not a bad office https://t.co/IJxtTPVnHK
@RonniSalt @JessRowe @nakkiahlui @PaulineHansonOz And what that woman has done to the family court and victims of DV

The reason we're seeing alarming rates of hospitalizations and deaths in the US is because many people are still unvaccinated. Booster shots may help some people, but our biggest challenge is vaccinating those who haven't gotten their first shot. https://t.co/jXsrSjLWJH
Obviously @simonahac and his #Climate200 project has so called moderate LNP politicians panicking and fearing for their seats. Hence the newfound support for climate action. Where were they when @zalisteggall introduced her bill? Oh that's right. Voting against it being debated.
@JessRowe @PaulineHansonOz There is literally nothing we haven't heard from Hanson and nothing else we need to know. There is no justification, journalistic or otherwise, for giving her a platform. Take it down.
@JessRowe @PaulineHansonOz please hire some non-white people to tell you how stupid things like this are
@JessRowe @PaulineHansonOz Jess, I can give you a huge list of wonderful, interesting potential guests for your podcast who haven’t promoted white supremacy, racist rhetoric and a divisive agenda that’s done a lot of damage to people and whole communities in Australia.
@JessRowe Ms Rowe, I'm surprised and so disappointed you chose to give a supportive platform to a woman who has built her career and made money out of anti-Asian & anti-Indigenous racism and anti-Muslim bigotry. There are so many other guests you could have interviewed. #JournalismMatters
@JessRowe @PaulineHansonOz Ms Rowe, instead of giving avowed right-wing racists like Hanson a platform to spew their poison, you might want to read this thread decrying the MSM's "both sides" nonsense by a former Chicago Tribune editor: https://t.co/pDOpEOPo9S

@Duck___Hunter @jommy_tee @danielhurstbne The journalist has taken the story and fleshed it out and asked PM&C and done the writing work. However, as for the source of the story - I highly, highly doubt it. I will let Jommy answer that for himself.
Traditional media need to grapple with this problem - and they haven't. There is a whole ethical conversation to be had about how blue-tick media acknowledge how they first came by information. They will acknowledge each other's stories but ignore independent media. https://t.co/HyWFa2V8wC
@NobodyImpawtant @jommy_tee Yep - that's what makes me rage. They constantly trawl twitter for information and then sit silent while other big names bag it and spit down on people. The very least @danielhurstbne could have done is acknowledge where the got the information for the story from. Ethics.

@JessRowe @PaulineHansonOz Sorry, bad decision here. This is blatantly hosting a controversial guest for the purposes of boosting your listeners which only works because it is boosting Hanson's image. It doesn't matter how many times you say "not political", you are deliberately helping her PR image.
@JessRowe @PaulineHansonOz it's so upsetting that every white journalist repeatedly does this. it's not like the links between these humanising interviews and normalising hateful bigotry is not crystal clear by now

Basically, the debt ceiling is like “We already spent the money. Now are we going to honor our IOUs?”
@cparles I don’t know, but you can only pass one reconciliation bill per year, so maybe he’s trying to force them to do that to raise the debt ceiling (preventing any further budget bill). I dunno.

If Republicans were to filibuster a clean debt ceiling bill, of course Democrats should toss out the filibuster. It would be a matter of great national urgency.

Partial and temporary shutdowns of government operations are a legitimate way of Congress retaining hold of the purse strings without caving to whoever is President. Defaulting on the national debt is not.
@matthews_p The (partial) shutdowns were - and are - nothing compared to the threat of defaulting on the national debt. They are a legitimate option for Congress to retain hold over the purse strings.

Taxes are a cost of doing business, and you would expect them to potentially shift the supply curve like any other cost, which in turn shifts the price and quantity where the supply curve intersects the demand curve. As the French say, voilĂ . https://t.co/QUEDJ3UF9w

Another theory is that it's finally an attempt to get rid of all excess capacity that's been built up in China. But power usage isn't a very good proxy for poor economic returns. Financial markets are supposed to do this, not across-the-board power cuts.
One theory is that it's a grand scheme to cause inflation in the US, by restricting exports. It might well cause inflation abroad, but the power cuts are hardly limited to the export sector. As I told my wife, it would be like lying down on the railroad tracks to derail a train.
People in China are posting all kinds of theories about these power cuts on WeChat. Most of them sound pretty silly to me.
Companies in China are getting sudden directives from their provincial government to slash their electricity consumption by 50%. Which is not exactly an easy thing to do, if you’re a manufacturer.
