  • You should consider taking your own advice about propaganda. My health insurance is cheap, six dollars a pay period, with a capped out of pocket expense. Not sure what that is off the top of my head, but not “bankrupting”.

    The only gunshots I’ve heard in my life are ones I’ve fired myself.

    The home that I bought two years ago is on par with the rent I was paying five years ago.

    My five year college education was 35k with most of that offset by grants.

    Your healthcare and education aren’t free. It’s subsidized by taxes that you pay. Which is fine, I think American taxes are much too low (for everybody). However, you have to look at what your government skips out on funding, name a military, seeing as the only thing standing between Ukraine and Russia is the massive amount of arms flowing in from the US.


  • Never said I was ok with homelessness. But making Soviet ghettos seem like puppies and rainbows isn’t the answer.

    Show me somebody who does have an answer for homelessness. China doesn’t. There’s an estimated 3.5 million homeless Chinese, versus the estimated 582k Americans. How about 271k in the UK? Non governmental sources in modern day Russia estimate over 3 million homeless, and that’s with a constitutional right to shelter.

    So target the US, but by population, the homelessness issue isn’t nearly as bad as other nations.




  • And that’s less than the amount of people in the Soviet Union who lived in tenements? You think there was an option to do anything besides that in the USSR? You could rise out of that and own your own home?

    And that’s not “thousands” either.

    At best your list is, what, 50? You use an anecdote that you see tent cities? Well here’s mine, I don’t see more than one or two.
