Absolutely.

The mainstream economists are wringing their hands over full employment and rising wages, the first time in decades that we might see the middle class grow, because production isn't sufficiently meeting demand.

We should be producing more stuff - especially housing - instead of trying to keep people from earning more.

We’ve had unaffordable housing in the U.K. for a generation and haven’t built because of nimbys.

Housing costs thus increase to suck all income.

It’s a great way to return to feudalism.

At least you guys can have the bona fide real feudalism. We others have to pretend the Lords are just accomplished citizens, only a bit more equal than others.
