@Little_Lepus welcome to capitalism. If the poor think they are entitled to the basic necessities of life. That would mean fewer things our economic overlords could artificially paywall access to for profit maximizing.

@britneybij3997 they blamed women and immigrants. What more can you expect?

@courtneycherry5582 which is only a thing because housing is unilaterally controlled by private for profit actors

@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat People who don't think it's capitalism have never owned capital. So all you can do is fall back on how you assume the systems that rule you actually function.

@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat Your society is more unequal today than it was in 1920. It would funny you don't know that, if it wasn't so sad.

@gmfan09 income over 160k per year isn't taxed for social security. Removing that cap funds social security into the year 2100.

@williamkinkade2538 That is the bar set for wealthy democratic nations. Absolutely Fantastic

@gmfan09 Social security could be funded into next century if just the taxes from when Bush Sr. Was president were reinstated.

@gmfan09 Social security has a maximum payout. The rich pay more for the poor. Which in America is called communism.

That isn't true and never has been. The problem has NEVER been too many people. The problem is capitalist unilateral control over allocation of resources. @TheWipal

@lloydfromfar government debt is a tool of the rich.

@ethansito5321 utopia to you is a place universal healthcare and mass public housing? Bro that's called Austria and it's fine.

@clairemercer3099 Yeah but more homeless people is good for landlord profits so what can we possibly do? -Every Western nation

@johnswanson217 Ah a world where only the very rich and very poor are allowed to keep making people. That surely isn't a recipe for disaster.

Boomers are finally having to face the reality the social contract changed. And instead of organizing as a class. They are turning to petty theft.

@480darkshadow The same thing they do for the poor. Leave them to elements to "take care of".

@vampireLFD you can't convince a man of something when his job depends on him not understanding it.

@zero-lk2un You mean average life expectancy. Literal life expectancy is going up in nations like Japan

@missc.murphy3494 the only guaranteed mass public housing in America is prison

Shame that a place to spend time that isn't making a profit would be communism

Prison is the only guaranteed mass public housing western nations have built in the last 50 years

Debt is a tool of the rich to seize control. That's the only reason it exists.

@lloydfromfar you did great. I can't say more without it getting deleted

@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat China's state led development is the only reason global poverty hasn't gone up this century. You can't start your own business because you have no access to capital. You'd know that if you had ever tried to do the thing you assume is possible. You don't know what's objective. You are steeped in the ideology of your self appointed betters.

@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat China state led development is the only reason global poverty hasn't increased this century. You can't start "your own" business because you don't have access to capital. Which you don't know because you've never tried.

@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat Lol YouTube isn't a free market. You've lived under mass inequality your whole life and you are too serf brain to notice.

@clairemercer3099 makes sense. Canada is such a small nation with no natural resources to construct houses. It's not like Canada of all places could build mass public housing inside of 2 years. If they could, that would be communism.

@Atombender That's bad for real estate prices which is bad for our economic overlords.which means your idea is spooky communism

Feudalism never ended. Capitalists wants to be the lords and they spend lots of time and money push politics into that goal.

@zekewalker1350 great points.

@020027 organize with your fellow poors and act collectively to change your increasingly precarious conditions. Or wait for your turn to go in the meat grinder.
