The Vermont Conversation with David Goodman
Made in Vermont: The Marriage Equality Revolution

The Vermont Conversation with David Goodman

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 7, 2023 51:12


On this "Best of The Vermont Conversation," we re-broadcast an interview from 2015 that traced the roots of the marriage equality revolution. The interview was recorded live in the studios of WDEV Radio. The interview marked the first time that Vermont marriage equality pioneers State Rep. Bill Lippert and former Vermont Supreme Court Chief Justice Jeffrey Amestoy discussed their roles in the marriage equality fight. On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4, in the landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges, that same-sex couples could wed throughout the country. The avalanche that swept America actually began as a snowball high up in the Green Mountains in the late 1990s.In 1999, the Vermont Supreme Court ruled in Baker v. Vermont that the Vermont state legislature must craft a law granting all of the rights and privileges of marriage to same-sex couples. In 2000, Vermont legalized civil unions, the most sweeping grant of rights to same-sex couples up to that time.In 2009, the Vermont state legislature legalized same-sex marriage, making it the first legislature to do so. On this Vermont Conversation, we discuss Vermont's role in the marriage equality revolution with some of the pioneers of that effort: former Vermont Supreme Court Chief Justice Jeffrey Amestoy, author of the groundbreaking Baker v. Vermont ruling; former State Representative Bill Lippert, who led the fight for passage of civil unions in 2000 and same-sex marriage in 2009; Susan Murray, attorney with Langrock Sperry & Wool, who represented the plaintiffs in Baker v. Vermont along with attorney Beth Robinson (now a Vermont Supreme Court judge); and Stacey Jolles and Nina Beck, a lesbian couple who were one of three same-sex couples who sued the State of Vermont in the late 1990s in Baker v. Vermont, catalyzing the fight for marriage equality in Vermont and the U.S.Chief Justice Amestoy said in this 2015 interview, "I didn't expect to see (marriage equality) throughout the United States in my lifetime. ... I don't think it ever crossed my mind that we would reach a point, only six years later, that the United States Supreme Court would echo the analysis that Vermont used in the 1999 decision."Plaintiff Nina Beck said, “I feel incredibly proud to have been part of this moment… (and) that I live in a state that wants to create equality for everyone.“I'm very, very pleased that marriage — our marriage — has been recognized everywhere in the United States. It's an amazing, amazing thing.”

Stuff That Interests Me
The end of cheap money: is this finally it for UK house prices?

Stuff That Interests Me

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 29, 2022 6:26


Back in 2007 comedian Susan Murray phoned me up with a question.She was just arranging a new mortgage and she wanted to know where I thought interest rates were going. Should she get a fixed or a variable rate mortgage?I couldn't make that decision for her, of course. But I could see there were underlying problems with the economy – quite serious ones – so the safest option, if there was affordable, seemed to be a fixed-rate mortgage. In the event something goes seriously wrong in the broader economy, at least she was protected against spiralling interest rates.Susan went and fixed her mortgage at 6%. Turns out it was pretty much the top of the market for mortgage rates. They duly plunged as central banks slashed rates and then printed money following the financial crisis. She's never forgiven me. “Cost me a ruddy fortune that bloke” she always complains whenever my name comes up.Cheaper mortgages mean more expensive housesI may have seen 2008 coming – I was such a gold bug at the time – but I did not  foresee quantitative easing nor the extent to which interest rates would fall. Money got so cheap.By September 2021, barely a year ago, you could get a five-year fixed rate deal for 1.3%. It seems inconceivable today that money could be so cheap. To be fair, it seemed almost inconceivable at the time. No wonder everyone levered themselves up the eyeballs.I have long argued that, more than anything, it is cheap money that has driven up house prices. Everywhere you look the standard solution to unaffordable housing is that we need to build more, especially in and around London. But London has been a building site for a decade or more. Goodness knows how many new build flats there now are, but all that new build hasn't brought prices down. As I'm forever quoting: between 1997 and 2007 the housing stock grew by 10%, but the population only grew by 5%. If house prices were a function of supply and demand, they should have fallen slightly over this period. They didn't. They rose by more than 300%.Then you see that mortgage lending over the same period went up by 370% and you quickly realise it was newly created money that pushed up prices in a decade of loose lending, which gave birth to the national obsession that is house prices. Houses were no longer places to live, but financial assets. If you introduce new debt into a market, the higher prices will go. Look at student loans.Mortgage lending doubled again in the ten years from 2009 to 2019 and house prices rose by over 50%.Cut off the tap that is cheap money, and house prices will quickly come to levels concomitant with earnings. The two have long since been distant friends.In 1995 the house price to income ratio was below three – even in London it was only just above. Now it's seven. The average house is seven times average income. In London it's 11. And we wonder why families have got so small.Are interest rates only going one way from here?With inflation spiralling, bond rates rising and the US dollar spiking, money is suddenly not so cheap any more. And it's getting more and more expensive. The UK is not alone in this, by any means, but the problem is more acute here because our economy is so geared to house prices.The Bank of England has made an absolute mess of protecting the currency, declaring it will not hesitate, while hesitating. Rather like the way it broadcast its gold sales to the market between 1999 and 2002, thereby sending the gold price to all time lows around $250/oz, so it is now broadcasting its gilt sales and quantitative tightening – and it has sent that particular market plunging too. The announcement sparked the sharp sell-off in gilts that began the day before Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-Budget. It's as though the two departments – the Treasury and the Bank of England – don't coordinate.The trigger may have been the Bank of England's announcement, or Kwarteng's budget. Whatever. The cause is over ten years of QE, zero interest policies and all the rest of it.It's interesting through. At the first signs of panic, they started printing again. That tells us where they will go. Yesterday morning I would have said that interest rates can only going to go one way, and that means the cheap money taps that drive house prices to such unaffordable levels are now being turned off. Lenders clearly felt the same way. I gather over 900 mortgage products were removed from the market in under 24 hours. Smashing the record around 400 set during the Covid panic.But then the Bank of England started printing again.The UK housing market, particularly in and around London, has been an irrational, insatiable monster for decades. Anyone who calls the top has ended up with egg on their face. But we are levered up to the eyeballs. It's not just a matter of no more cheap money coming in. There is also the other side of the coin, something I remember from 1989-1993. People can't make their interest payments, so they start to sell. If house prices come down 10% or 15%, it's often the case that the house becomes less valuable than the debt – negative equity strikes. I really like Kwarteng's Budget. I think he has made the right choices. Cutting taxes is good. But a falling housing market, no matter how much growth there is elsewhere, will see the Tories kicked out at the next election. How do they prop up the housing market without cheap money? I'm sure they'll find a way. They always do. Or will they?If you are worried about what is going on and want to buy physical gold or silver, my recommended bullion dealer is the Pure Gold Company with whom I have an affiliation deal. More here.

Comic Cuts - The Panel Show

Hi, I'm Kev F and I'm here to tell you about Comic Cuts The Panel Show, your new favourite podcast about comics.Every week I get two guests to bring a panel from a comic into the show. We try and guess where it's from, then we talk comics. Sometimes we get nerdy and knowledgable, and you learn a lot about comics you've probably never heard of, and more often we get inspired by what we see and the conversation goes off at wild tangents.My guests so far have included comic creators like Brian Bolland, Rachel Smith of Quarantine Comix, Metaphrog, Jessica Martin, Julius Zebra's Gary Northfield, The Beano's Nigel Auchterlounie, Laura Howell, Rianne Rowlands & Nigel Parkinson, manga artists like Sonia Leong & Laura Watton, Comics Laureate Hannah Berry, Psycho Gran's David Leach, Resident Alien creator Peter Hogan,  and loads of comedians including Bethany Black, Will Hodgson, Paul Kerensa, Iszi Lawrence, Doug Segal, Ashley Storrie, Juliet Burton, Juliette Myers, Susan Murray, Bennett Arron.  I've had The Secret History of Hollywood's Adam Roche, and legendary singer songwriter Dean Friedman - and the guest list grows every week.And the comics they've brought in have ranged from Marvel and DC to The Bunty and The Eagle, from Robert Crumb to Viz, from brand new webcomics to obscure manga, indy to classic, and all points in-between. There are so many comics out there, and so much love for them.So listen in, have fun guessing what comics we're looking at, and enjoy the conversation with this stellar cast of guests, in a show that - did I mention - is only half an hour long?Subscribe to Comic Cuts The Panel Show, wherever you get your podcasts, and we'll see you every Friday.

Your London Legacy

I first met Susan at her flat in Walthamstow around 10 years ago, when I was asked to help her with her insurance claim for dry rot. I remember at the time Susan telling me she was a comedian—as I’d never met one in the flesh before, so it really stuck with me. Perhaps not the most auspicious start. Since then I’ve tried to keep up with Susan’s thriving career as a much in demand stand up comic. Not only does Susan gig all over the UK, but she also runs and is resident MC at Red Imp in Walthamstow, where she has brought many famous faces to E17, including Alan Carr, Stephen K Amos, Russell Kane, Phil Jupitus, Arthur Smith and many more. I was just leaving to meet Susan for this recording when she asked if her good friend and multi lingual stand up comedian, Maureen Younger, could join us. Well, I thought, why not indeed. Two for the price of one. I love this meandering, somewhat random off the wall chat and I hope it brightens your day as much as it did mine. Susan’s been described as a cross between Frankie Boyle and Julie Walters, so stand by your beds for a bit of a raucous ride. “Obviously the more experienced you are, how good you are, you can work yourself out of situations—but they’ll be one gig at some point in the future where they will hate you—where you will die on your ass, and you just don’t know when that’s going to be.” Dying on stage, every comic has it happen. It always happens right after you feel like you’ve been nailing your material. Susan and Maureen have both experienced this phenomenon—but they’re quick to note that it happens to every comic at some point. In fact, they feel a little better when they see someone big on stage fail to really get the crowd on their side. It goes to show that the struggle to perform live on stage is real, and there are a host of factors that go into a successful bout of stand up. [16:26] Believe it or not – the physicality of a room affects a comic’s material and delivery. The difference in how a comedian performs while in a massive theatre vs an up-close café can make or break their set. Susan and Maureen note that large venues are often more difficult, because the gap between the comedian and audience is physically wider—eating up the comic’s energy if they are depending on their actions to help deliver their jokes. Susan and Maureen share some horror story events, including a charity event with a ten minute speech beforehand about the organizers friend—while people were playing beer ping pong in the back. “As a male comic—you’re given more rope to hang yourself.” [20:07] Comics only have so much time to win a crowd over. Susan and Maureen agree that for a man this is usually around five minutes, but they note it is usually way shorter for female comics—especially if the crowd has never heard of them before. Men just seem to get more benefit of the doubt—however Maureen and Susan agree that there are many factors that go into a booking an act, and many bookings (included ones they run) are very pro female. Red Imp Comedy Club has a whole first season of female headlining comics, showing that women aren’t going anywhere in today’s comedy scene. “I’ve never met a comic, irrelevant of how well their career is going, who is happy with their career. They always want more.”   Links Redimpcomedy.co.uk (http://www.redimpcomedy.com/) MaureenYounger.com (https://www.maureenyounger.com/) Support this podcast

The standardization of color television in the US during the postwar era was, in large part, discussed and determined in relation to historical developments in color theory (philosophical, psychological, and physical), colorimetry, color design and industry, psychophysics, psychology and, of course, what had already been established industrially, culturally, and technically for monochrome television. In this presentation, Susan Murray explores how these various threads of scientific, aesthetic, philosophical, and industrial knowledge were built into the standards, processes, and procedures for and around the technology and use of color television from the late 1940s and into the early 1950s. This presentation will be less about color programming itself, and more about the discourses that framed and managed color use and reception not only in the standardization period, but also during RCA and NBC’s early attempts to sell color to consumers, sponsors, and critics.
