It is deflection, and I’ve demonstrated to you why.
Now once again: why did you cherry pick the original article?

This was OPs point. You had to ram a load of boring leftist wank about billionaires without answering his fucking point
You are the one deflecting.
Fewer people, more houses. It’s not that deep
