  1. America doesn't have real public housing.

  2. Listening to this. One would never guess that housing is an issue that has been solved in dozens of nations across the world. The Anglosphere nations are having a housing crisis because they deliberately empowered a class of people(landlords and capitalists) who artificially restrict your access to housing. Specifically because doing so is how they can extract the maximum amount of wealth out of you.

  3. Just 4 guys own as much wealth as the combined wealth of poorest 55% of your country's population. You obviously don't know that.

  4.  @jamesbennett5430  You are totally blind to wealth and power it brings. The heavy lifting in this(and every) nation is done by workers. Workers whose wealth is ever increasingly being extracted to make a handful of already wealthy ghouls richer. That is the problem in America. You blame the state instead of your corporate overlords, because the government is the only institution you are conditioned(via the media owned by your corporate overlords) to focus your ire on.

  6. Buddy you make it sound like landlords don't exist as a concept. There are war torn nations with fewer homeless people and better housing than you have in Murica. You don't know that because the same people you pay your rent to(your mortgage is just rent to maybe own much later) own the "news" you watch.

  7. So Economists are deliberately delusional handmaidens to the capitalist overlords that control employment. Got it.
