Every complex problem has a simple, easy-to-understand wrong answer.
And also a MAGA answer, which is just like the wrong answer, but much dumber.

“One is left to wonder, why do parties of both major #political persuasions keep doing things which they know will put upward pressure on #house #prices, and thus exacerbate the #problem they say they are trying to solve?
It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the reason is that they know there are only about 110,000 people who each year succeed in becoming first home buyers. And even if you assume that for every one who does, there are five or six who don’t, that’s still only 700,000 or so votes, tops, for policies that might restrain the rate of house price inflation or halt it altogether.
Politicians also know that at any point in time there are more than 11 million voters who own their own homes, and more than 2.25 million who own at least one investment property. The last thing those 11 million to 13 million voters want is anything that might restrain – let alone halt – the rate of property price #inflation.” — #SaulEslake

Q: ndr.de F: Pixabay CC
if you are a men's bike but you suddenly get a ladies' sadle, should you adapt your pronouns?
Looking for ideas for building a little #Rstats function.
Let's say I asked a bunch of people if they felt older, younger, or the same age as half a dozen randomly-selected ages.
Let's say that because that's what I did.
Example: Jane is asked this question about ages 17, 19, 25, 38, 41, and 52.
Each person answers younger/same/older to each of the ages (each person also gets a different selection of ages to answer).
Ultimately, I want to use those answers to get an estimate of the age each person feels. First, however, I want to see how numerically consistent each person's answers are.
Examples: if Jane said
17: older
19: older
25: older
38: same age
41: younger
52: younger
That's numerically consistent. However, if she said
17: older
19: younger
25: older
38: same age
41: older
52: younger
that's not consistent (she can't be both younger than 19 and older than 41).
It's also consistent if she said she felt younger than all the ages or older than all of them.
Maybe because it's late or maybe because I'm slow, I'm having a hard time approaching this. I'll leave it on the back burner for a couple of days since it's late where I am and I won't have time for it tomorrow.
If any of y'all (and many of you are ridiculously more quantitatively skilled than I am) have ideas of how to approach a function for this, or -- even better -- if a solution already exists as a formula or something, lay it on me. I'll be in your debt*.
