Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Neoliberal can't answer a fucking question
I'm not an economist. I'm not sure about world prices. I answered the question the best I can with the knowledge I have.
One definition of neoliberslism is: A political ideology or ideological trend based on neoclassical economics that espouses economic liberalism, favouring trade liberalisation, financial deregulation, a small government, privatisation and liberalisation of government businesses, passive antitrust enforcement, accepting greater economic inequality and disfavouring unionisation.
I don't support any of that.
Yes or no
Yes or no what?
The guy you are arguing with is an idiot trying to make you angry to "win" because you said to not get angry. Just ignore the troll.
If I come across as arguing then that's a mistake on my part.
Don't really find you to be arguing lol.
Have house prices gone up yes or no?
Worldwide? I don't know. In the US? Yes they've gone up. In the summer prices began to dip but in autumn they rose again. Some towns and cities in California, Texas, Kentucky, Washington state, and Oregon have declined. Most places are holding. It doesn't look like prices will go down in the near future.
Now my questions:
Good you answered a yes or no question. I am done with you now. Go hang out with the other neoliberal losers.
You're free to talk with me or not. You can dismiss me as a neoliberal if you want but that doesn't describe me all at. In our whole conversation I've made primarily two points: (1) anger is neither a good nor productive emotion and (2) while the world has many serious problems, over the decades consistent progress has been made to improve the situation of most of the world's population. Generally, if trends continue the future will be better than the past for a lot of people (the recent uptick in world hunger going against the previous trend of reduced hunger is a counterargument).
