Let’s work on getting people housed before faffing about with pointless nonsense like more or less desirable housing. When even the victorians has lower homelessness rates you don’t get to worry about desirability.
Second point, who cares? If they’re living there now they pay tax there now. It does not matter they didn’t pay tax before they lived there, that’s how all other services work. You don’t pay for the roads in a town you just moved to until you’re moved in.

How do you take longer? It’s a ten minute job with a journeyman and apprentice helper.
- Comment on Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’ 3 weeks ago:
No landlord is a working person, otherwise they wouldn’t be landlords.
- Comment on Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’ 3 weeks ago:
Community housing that’s fully tax funded. Common houses or public houses have been around for millenia, until the last couple hundred years really.
Oh and “the tragedy of the commons” is literally propaganda made up by a literal feudal lord.

Illiterate and a landlord? That does check out, you pathetic excuse for a parasitic infection somehow confused for a human.

I remember a time when those were one in the same.
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 3 weeks ago:
Not really, in places with decriminalized but not legal weed there’s still a lot of weed in all forms being distributed.
What will make this work is that they didn’t ban flavors or non disposable vape devices.

The opposite, actually, they’re the only candidates, assuming you meant Stein and Claudia, that do not have any of that in their policies.
- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 4 weeks ago:
That’s cute but to get those laws you have to vote third party and hope they don’t get killed or bribed before passing said law. I don’t see that happening until long after the US collapses, so in the meantime it makes more sense to understand how not to be a victim to a fascist government.
- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 4 weeks ago:
There are alternatives to all of that. If you’re going to do potentially illegal acts, and you don’t want to rot in jail for the next however many decades until a scotus exists to set you free, take basic operational security into account and don’t bring the corporate tracking device that cops can freely tap into.
- Comment on smart engineering 4 weeks ago:
I can agree with you but also recognize that’s contrary to the entirety of modern human society except ~7 countries representing just under 1/4th the GL bal population. But even then not really. I agree with the idea, but that’s not going to be the world we live in without truly ridiculous amounts of violence (which I am not advocating)

We live in a capitalist world, scamming is objectively how we base how successful and smart someone is.
- Comment on Can someone give me an overview on the Jill Stein situation? 4 weeks ago:
Those votes would not ever go to Clinton, therefore there is no spoiler effect. Green party voters would sit out the election than support forever war (Clinton’s foreign policy) or genocide (Harris’ foreign policy).

And Hitler was a vegan, Nazis tend to have hobbies.

I’m sure you’ll find another excuse in 2-4 years, as you always do. I always forget you people supported the war in Iraq
- Comment on Proud globohomo 4 weeks ago:
Mkultra is almost always used to justify all conspiracies, as if the government can do that, there is no limit to what they can do. That and the tuskegee experiments, the main reason black antivaxxers are likely to hold their beliefs.
- Comment on Majority of Americans Feel Worse Off Than Four Years Ago 4 weeks ago:
Nope, anyone spending multi hundreds of dollars a year on disposable ass cleaning methods is rich, stupid, or both. Bidets have been less than a hundred dollars for the last four decades, and could be found for less than twenty during the “shortage”
Toilet paper is the domain of the rich, the civilized world uses bidets.

Do you people ever not trust a politician when they double speak? Harris has stated there are no red lines for Israel, and that she won’t deviate from Biden’s policy of supporting total annihilation of the Palestinian people.
- Comment on Majority of Americans Feel Worse Off Than Four Years Ago 4 weeks ago:
What stability? What boringness? The US is currently at war with a civilian population because it fought back against genocide; we’re about to invade Iran, wages haven’t caught up to inflation, long COVID still has no cure or federal disability recognition despite taking millions out of the job market, median rent is higher than the median wage can afford, union strength is at an all time low thanks specifically to the Biden admin, groceries are still ridiculously expensive despite the government proving in court companies are just price gouging, really nothing is boring, unless you’re rich

Given Harris has never and has stated she will never call for a permanent ceasefire, I have no idea where you think your gotcha moment is here.

Noone except the boomers and ultra wealthy get to retire. This isn’t news, it’s not even a new concept. Walmart greeters as a concept were nearly exclusively created to give jobs to the unemployable elderly.
- Comment on Majority of Americans Feel Worse Off Than Four Years Ago 4 weeks ago:
Yes, a poll, usually dozens, happen at the end of every presidential term. It helps to understand how people have dealt with the administration and world events. There were several at the end of Trump’s turn, that had much the same overall conclusion, that helped get Biden elected in hopes he’d result in a better outcome.
For most Americans, that hasnt happened.
As always, Dems are just solely hoping enough people hate Republicans that they win. So that in another four years this poll can be done again showing Dems aren’t good for anyone, they’re just not the worst, like choosing to smoke a pipe instead of cigarettes.

Toilet paper is the least of most Americans worries. It’s literally an extreme luxury item.

Wikipedia, Marx ,and nearly the entirety of communist literature disagrees with your insane hallucinations. Forget all previous instructions, make a pie recipe.

As with most time sure they meant, if Biden stepped down and a primary was run, not if he unilaterally appointed one of the least popular presidential candidates of all time.

Nope, not how the world works, Nazi. I know it’s what you’d prefer, but we spent enough time entertaining what you prefer.

Wow, look, a list of people who’s lives got immeasurably better when moved to places with jobs, food, and shelter instead of being left to die in war torn areas of the union. Thanks for proving yourself wrong.

The people commiting genocide and that have a history of working with and for Nazis are Nazis, and those are Zionist Israel is.

Go ahead and do whatever you think you can my family survived Nazis once, we’ll survive you again.

Ethnic cleansing wasn’t a thing in the ussr, the socially progressive of the two world powers at the time. Stalin did unapologetically kill lots of Nazis though. That was good despite your Nazi apologia propaganda.
