The Lord of these guys also dismiss empathy as some sort of novelty created by the woke elite or whatever, and that true human nature is sociopathic or psychopathic.
There’s a problem with this idea, though, because the logic of a group of sociopath would be that if any one of them gain the upper hand, the rest would be subjugated. A sociopathic society would be a ruthless, paranoid, egalitarian society..

Banks that made tons of loans where people refinance to a lower interest rate in a world that experience inflation means that the interest income they get continuously loses, real purchasing power. Banks aren’t going to be making very much money at all off of real estate for a while because the market is withering at this point.

Where it should possibly matter is the pension funds or anyone else who’s expecting an interest income from their investment.
A rental market of large institutional owners does not respond to the market because they would become bankrupt if they lowered their rent in the face of refinancing. I think most economists do not even understand this dynamic then they just assume market forces but that’s incorrect

I’m not certain if job turnover means so much. Most people don’t choose to move on a yearly basis that’s expensive and a hassle.

One very interesting thing is that global fertility apparently peaked in 1965. Nate Hagens conducted a relevant interview. I think last year sometime. “Human Impact, Extinctions, and the Biodiversity Crisis with Corey Bradshaw | TGS 136” at the one hour 10 minute mark a few minutes from there, the thing that brings down fertility rates is is a drop in child mortality. When women know their children will survive to adulthood and have families of their own the fertility Dre drops.

“ Despite solar’s rapidly increasing share of world energy—now at 8.7%—all other forms of energy use continued to expand in absolute terms, including fossil fuels. Coal, oil and gas use have all increased throughout 2025, and still accounted for 86% of all energy supplied to the economy. Contrary to the stories we tell ourselves the energy transition still hasn’t started yet: wind and solar are still mere additions to an ever growing pile of carbon based fuels.”
