Stagflationary Kiwi jobs number this morning. Unemployment rate rose from 4% to 4.3% (vs 4.2% expected) despite a BIG drop in participation. Employment actually fell (!) while wages grew at 0.8% QoQ. Follows strong employment cost index numbers (wages) out of the USA overnight.
So Norway banned smartphones in schools and 3 years later, girls’ GPAs are up, their visits to mental health professionals are down 60% and bullying in both boys and girls is down 43-46%. That’s wild
@dijitalasset if you criticise at least criticise well, we're already close to a recession given per capita recession and consumption (retail sales) recession; it's weird coming up with 'you were wrong in 2022' given current economic backdrop almost wanna pick a fight for some silly reason 🤪
@dijitalasset lol, that's before i learnt inverted bond yields is mainly BS when it comes to forecasting a recession, not a 100% track record and plus that was US not Oz also, don't know if you're using your brain cells, we're already in per capita recession & GDP growth is 0.2% last quarter
When you commit a crime in Japan, citizens will literally drag your ass to the police station. This is why their crime rate is so low.
@samstrades Transmission costs have to increase as we need to pay for the higher interest rates for these geared up private businesses and the big salaries/"consultant fees" to head office. Dont worry none of it will be spent on the actually improving the infrastructure

@Donsvess I worry about 10s of billions going to parasitic, unproductive and oligopolistic FIRE sector and property lobby to prop up housing market, i'm least worried about a few billion going to manufacturing which might pay off one day
Where’s O’Neil and Giles? Why aren’t they commenting on this latest mess they’ve got us into?
@samstrades @_warrenhogan Job losses are definitely increasing..i think ABS unemployment data is either inaccurate or manipulated to keep the mass immigration going. But a few of the recruiters told me that they get about 300 applications for some of the IT jobs...housing crash will follow...

107K Followers 1K Following Nothing here is advice. Drop the phone and slowly back away from the Twitter. Read a 10-K. It’s a profession, not a business. Disclosure: https://t.co/Sv6Y5YsrBqThe new book by @DrCameronMurray blew my mind a few times. He finds that at the macro level rents are largely determined by income. In Australia, rents have run about 20% of after-tax income for many decades. Even if the supply of rental homes jumped or crashed, within a...
... few years rents at the macro level would be back to around 20% of after-tax income. If supply jumped, renters would be getting better housing for their 20% of income. If supply tanked, they would get worse housing for their 20%. Regardless of supply, they'd still be spending…
Another point is that skyrocketing rents are usually caused by economic booms. Income jumps, and then rents jump, and then people get mad, and then the newspapers are filled with stories about the "housing crisis". He gives examples from the 1900s and 1800s in the book.
Here's some equivalent numbers for the U.S. After accounting for the break in the data between 2012 and 2013, we don't see skyrocketing rents in 2020 and 2021. This chart surprised me. Cameron seems to be onto something.
This shows the break in the data between 2012 and 2013 in how the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics calculated renter taxes (and explains why the red line in the chart above jumped in 2013).
Takeaway is don't expect landlord tax breaks, higher-density building, or getting rid of zoning, etc. to lower rents overall. Over the long run, about the only way to get rents to fall is to get the economy to fall... but rent as a percent of after-tax income would be similar.
