WATCH: Creating Parallel Societies – #SolutionsWatch
From the depths of the scamdemic to the craziness of the trade wars, we’ve seen the economic destruction and disruption of our daily lives that can be caused by authoritarians who presume to rule over the world. But the society they are crafting is not the society we have to live in. Join James for this edition of #SolutionsWatch where he explores the concept of parallel societies and the steps that can be taken to create the building blocks for such societies to come about.

Trailer parks have a bad reputation. But why not? Worth a try and better than walking homeless.
They’re called caravan parks here in Australia, and for tens of thousands of Australians they are all they can afford.
The average price of a house in the suburbs of most major cities is between $800,000 to one million dollars.
Why? Because property investors have sucked the Life out of a competitive market. Middle class PARASITES, all of them.
Australia’s property crisis is made up of various factors.
Number one is the low interest policy of central banks globally and certainly in the West.
That caused a boom in prices in Oz, UK, US, Canada and some EU countries (not all EU). While savers were earning next to nothing on their savings they decided to invest in property using low interest rates to borrow to buy a second property. The ‘buy to let’ boom using property as an investment and as a future pension. Many people don’t have a private pension or some that do found their pension pots were not growing much while stock markets were weak during the early 2000s until 2010.
Then there are overseas investors, Chinese get mentioned in the case of Oz and Canada but really in the case of Oz their impact is limited since they tend to buy new builds and off-plan developments.
Next, family break-ups, more people living in single homes due to divorce.
The other major factor that has affected the Anglo countries is immigration.
From the following Aussie government official stats:
https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/australias-health/profile-of-australias-population
“Australia’s population was 26.6 million at 30 June 2023, having grown around 1.4% a year on average over the past 3 decades, from 17.6 million at 30 June 1993.”
In thirty years the population of Oz has increased by 9 million or grown by over 50 percent. Since, nearly 80 percent of Auusie residents live squashed into a handful of cities and most of the country is empty that is a lot of people to house in a limited space.
That immigration story is similar in all the countries I have mentioned above. Despite, the puppet politicos trying to play it down, it obviously has an effect on housing demand where land is limited or people only want to live in cities or already high density population zones.
Ireland is another example, empty countryside but a population that has grown from 3.5 million to 5.5 million in 30 years all wanting to live in Dublin!
Great Britain is a tiny overpopulated island where even the government Office for National Statistics can only ESTIMATE the population since it must be the only country in the world where passports are not checked when leaving. In other words, noboby knows how many people live there.
Therefore, rising property prices are a result of supply and demand. More people equals more demand regardless of the investment choices of those who fancy a bit of property speculation on the side.
The ever so reliable and believable
“Office of National Statistics”
The local population around me certainly seems more brown than it was.
A darker brown too.
Panjeets seek.
