The housing crisis fundamentally cannot be fixed. - Something I’ve been thinking about for a while and I’d like to understand how/if I’m wrong.

30% of Australia’s 10 million properties are rented. 85% of those are negatively geared as I understand it.

So they’re losing on average roughly $8500 a year and then speculating prices will increase Atleast 6% a year (which beats the 5% you get with money in the bank) and rents will go up too.

Now if we want to actually fix the housing crisis we need prices to come down so they’re more affordable to buy for first home buyers and rents to Atleast stay flat (or go down)

Now unless I’m missing something they’re 2 competing and opposite things and both can’t happen at the same time?

Berkshire is hoarding so. much. cash.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can ... See More rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.

Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.
