  • I can’t answer most of your questions, but one is easy:

    The UK is a country. None of Northern Ireland, England, or Scotland are countries - they’re all a part of the UK.

    You may or may not notice an outlier here: Ireland, which is not part of the UK and is its own country. Note that Northern Ireland is part of the UK, and is not a part of Ireland (despite being on the island of Ireland). The UK and the Irish have a… strained relationship.

    Britain is the big island, not a country itself.

    So to recap:

    • The UK and Ireland are both countries.

    • The UK is (primarily) made up of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

    • Britain and Ireland are both islands. The Island of Ireland consists of Ireland (the country) and Northern Ireland (part of the UK).











  • The housing crisis has literally nothing to do with families owning a single home. There is far more than enough housing for everyone in the country. We need to outlaw AirBnB everywhere, and outlaw corporate ownership of residences.

    I don’t even care about the people who have multiple homes, they’re just small fries in comparison. We can do them after the corporations all switch to that business model.
