  3.  @debjay4464  The answer to safe, good, affordable housing is not government intervention. Government intervention causes the problem to begin with, making housing more expensive.

  8. 1. Unbelievably sad. 2. Absolute over-the-top propaganda. Why didn't the producers take from their massive budget and hand the family a little cash? Because they would rather be manipulative? The US is the most generous country in the world when it comes to charity, and it is not close. Furthermore, the best thing you can do for society is promote free-market capitalism, the greatest creator of wealth in world history. One billion have been removed from poverty through free market capitalism just since 2000. And LBJ's War On Poverty has only created more poverty. Those are the facts.

As to healthcare, there are programs for free healthcare for children. Meanwhile, we in the US are heavily subsidizing the healthcare in your country

  16.  @Mikichan85  The best thing government can do in relation to housing is...stay completely out of it. Government regulating rent is a very big reason why rent is so high, as it leads to far less housing being built. If the government would just let the free market do its thing, housing would be far more accessible to everyone.

  19.  @Sazra  A video would be great, but it's not overly realistic what with the significant amount of effort and expense. When you say that "time has passed", are you referring to the Dec 2021 article? That is barely more than a year ago. There was another article from 2019, but the 2021 article obviously had more current information.

  28.  @michaeladean158  I don't have a 42" television. I don't have a 32" television. In fact, I don't have a television at all. Here's an idea: If you making money, don't spend every penny so that you have no place to go the moment things go awry.
