>That might be the case, but the apples to oranges comparison More like satsumas to oranges. Land is still the key component of wealth extraction irrespective of whether the rents come with a house or without. >That can't possibly be due to other factors, like the aftereffects of the covid-19 pandemic, or all the baby boomers No, because those are not other factors they are scapegoats. Covid didn't ruin the NHS - that had been happening for years - covid just exposed the underlying frailty of the system and was an excuse to jam even MORE corruption into the system. Baby boomers retiring is not responsible for an increasing share of the country's income being dedicated to rents. I'm excited to see what kind of new scapegoats our leaders will come up with to rally the simple-minded once covid becomes distant history and the boomers all die off. Hopefully we won't get a re-run of that "it's all the [ insert ethnicity here ]'s fault" thing from the 1930s.
