I live in a place without a tipping culture and significant income inequality. I really don't like the idea that service in a bar might be prioritised according to who gives the biggest tips. That seems like highlighting inequality to

I've never experienced the US tipping culture, but have been aware of it for a long time. Am I remembering correctly that the 'standard' tip has been increasing over the past few decades? I don't mean just the dollar amo

Of course I understand why, but it seems backwards to me that we are so concerned with burning more calories. I'd prefer to do the things I do efficiently.

Do you think anyone would be happy living in a world where a few have access to all the world's resources and others have essentially no access? Wealth is a essentially a claim on a share of the world's resources. They are limited

Conversely, introducing mandatory helmets for people in vehicles could increase safety for everyone. Win/win unless you are one of the drivers that is dissuaded from using a car I guess.

Would helmets and four point harnesses be a safer option for all drivers?

It certainly does matter. The size of the deposit is directly related to the price and is the largest hurdle to overcome for many. I would even say that a lower price and therefore deposit together with a higher interest rate can make housi

Overall, yes, very. For some not so much. Talking with my landlord the other week, they said that they regretted not selling the house last year when they moved. It's lost 15k every week this year on average (according to homes.co.nz e

Insane considering current prices. Which is really to say that current prices are insane. They won't stay that way if interest rates don't go down again soon.

You're forgetting that the demand side of the equation is very sensitive to the cost of credit. Put it this way. We know for example that a lot of homes are rented out as AirBnBs. We can safely assume that many of those were purchased

I'm interested to know the source of this figure. It sounds typical for a reported rental vacancy rate. Is this not just the percentage of available rentals that are not currently occupied? This would exclude things like second homes

Interesting to see Northern Ireland bucking the trend with regard to Britain's dismal post-brexit economic performance. I wonder if the Scottish are taking notice.
