Appreciate your writing. Joined Quillete but always found comments left by you and others (tersitus, Isiah to name a few) better than the articles. Just found you here. Best of luck.

I am catching up on my reading after a long vacation (yay for finally being able to travel!) I have been so despondent about QC and the loss of truly intelligent discourse. I knew that most had migrated to another site but this is the first time I have seen information about it. I was/am a lurker on QC and would like to continue on Freevoices if you would send me an invitation link.

P.S. I have always enjoyed you on QC but even more here!

Excellent stuff again man. What the heck's a boffin?

A boffin is a technical type- a whiz kid. Someone who is very good at some highly technical or scientific field.

Enjoyed the article. Which way the economy ? Are we exiting an inflationary period caused by a one time covid hiccup? Or is inflation creating more inflation creating more inflation creating more inflation eventually to be the dealt with by very high interest rates? And as a dollar holder, should I long the British Pound? Nice to see your writings!

Thank you for the excellent article. As a Canadian we are unfortunately falling into a similar trap you mention. One of our factors also include Chinese(not a slur but fact) purchasers of homes, which drive up the costs for honest homeowner actors. Does this play out in the UK to the extent that it is a troubling concern or is it still mainly a corporate factor you outline?
