It's funny, all the YIMBYs want this or claim to, but when there's complaints about the cost of housing, it's always a single-family detached home used as the benchmark for complaining.

It appears about 3% of houses in the UK are second homes (not rented out).

They have a lot less power to stop inflation. (yeah, they can vote for the other guy. It generally doesn't work, and when it does they notice the prices are still high and punish the guy they voted in for that by bringing the previous bunch back).

A lot of people are genuinely too dumb or of poor impulse control to handle credit cards and banks quickly lock up all of their future disposable income. They would 100% have been better off without credit cards since they would simply be broke instead of six figures in debt.
They get a bunch of stuff, then they declare bankruptcy and never have to pay for it. This does ruin their credit, but because they're (by assumption) too dumb and/or have poor impulse control, they couldn't have taken advantage of good credit anyway.

Wage stickiness is a complication, but salaries still do go up and down. Instead of individual salaries going down, expensive individuals get laid off and/or juniors are hired at lower rates than previously. Though the general "solution" to wage stickiness has been inflation, and that's been around long enough to pass the fence.

Not a bad summary, but it misses that men have been taught for decades, explicitly, that receiving "hints" is not reason to believe a woman wishes to be approached. Stuff like "Just because she smiles at you doesn't mean she likes you".

(which, in worst case, would result in something like Hugo Chavez, not Lenin or Stalin, which would be indeed rather bad).
Uhh, Hugo Chavez would ALSO be rather bad.

Basically, you claim they're suicidal, but long-termist – their entire project is to last long enough to kill maximum Jews, ideally all Jews, on their way out?
They wish to destroy the State of Israel and the United States (the Little Satan and the Great Satan, as they put it), not necessarily kill maximum Jews.
They happen to be the most recent decades, so I assume yes, but I don't know if the start coincided closely.
