This would seem to bode ill for social stability.

That's cruel. You are already down on your luck if you have to live in a loom. If you lose the loom where do you go? A spinning wheel? Not in today's housing market.
That's fine we will just print more money to buy stocks and property with.
Surely the Feds will blink and come to the rescue before they let that happen...surely?

Our chancellor said a few years ago that people who expect to have no or only small pensions (which means few working years or low income), should buy real estate for their retirement. :)
"Gimme Shelter" was stuck in my head before opening this thread, and the thread certainly hasn't helped with that. :sleep:

Reminds me of the Duke of Westminster's advice, as one of the UK's richest people, for entrepreneurs which was "make sure they have an ancestor who was a very close friend of William the Conqueror." Half tongue in cheek, half sadly true.
So in laymans terms, they're saying you need money to make money. And one of the best ways of having money is making sure you end up on the right side of certain people. Or at least make sure your ancestors did.
Will this impact on their ability to vote? - not having a stable address registered et al.

no entitlements they said! :grr:
If people are too sick to work and pay their rent, they just had to not get sick in the first place. Logical. When you don't think about it.
