@gofishh77 In case you are wondering why they arent used in America it's because they cant get you addicted like opiates can.

@ManhttanMetsFan @TrpstrLeonOG why are so many of the western doom post from 3rd world countries? are they capitalizing on our current col crisis?

Renter: I just want a normal apartment at a fair price
Landlord: best I can do is $2,100 for a “cozy” studio with no laundry and a window facing a brick wall
Leasing office: we’ll need 3x rent, a 700+ credit score, and a $75 application fee just to say no
Bank: also your paycheck hit your account and immediately left
Government: don’t forget taxes
Renter: so I work full time to almost afford a place I don’t want and still end up broke

@BALUCIAGA "It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem."
But you've conceded that it is, in fact, a solution, no?

@Breaking57 thats cars for you. blame the auto-lobby for killing public transport, Eisenhower for the interstates to solidify cars forever, and city govs for not thinking things through. also the humans before us that let it happen.
cars were the worst inventions humans have ever devised.

@MikeM3422 @omgsidewalks That is not standard today at all. Average first time home buyer in the US is 35-40 years old now.

@omgsidewalks Still can! My Daughter is 25 and just bought a house on her own. 3 years out of College

@CatchUpFeed Your life is over. Absurd that the people before us were just okay with this and stopped pushing for workers rights.

@BoundryLayer @WallStreetApes The only reason supply is low is because of zoning laws. Illegals and corporate have very little impact for now.
The solution to the is to zone for cheap homes and apartments, but this would reduce existing property values so communities fight against it.
English

@WallStreetApes Basic laws of supply and demand apply. If supply is short, prices go up.
Why is supply short? Illegal
immigrants / corporate buyers.
Why are prices up? Increased regulations. Not only in construction but general business regulations and appliances, raw materials.

American was able to buy her 3 story home in 1989 shortly after getting married
She worked a minimum wage job at JC Pennies and her husband worked at a shoe store in the mall
They were able to buy this 3 story home and only put $3,000 down
“I feel sorry for young people today. This f*cking economy sucks — I don't think two people working retail jobs in the mall can afford to buy a house today and have two paid off cars. And then the wife gets pregnant and she stays home. 'cause that's what I did. That is so unattainable”
“In this country, in the United States, everybody in this country should be thriving, not surviving — If you go to work every day, you should be thriving. Something's gotta change. And I am neither side, I'm neither Republican or Democrat. 'cause they're both, they're both evil and crooked”
She explains we have the illusion of choice but no matter who we vote for it’s a lie, nothing changes
She’s right
Home ownership is completely unaffordable and neither side offer any real solutions (so far) to the cost of living crisis. Especially the cost of home ownership and cost of rent crisis
Our own Congress can’t even be bothered to pass voter ID….

@Rpt3256318 @WallStreetApes and if you double that (since she had a husband, even though she said they could afford for her to be SAHM) to $5K a month, it is STILL half of their combined income. That is not affordable and well above the recommend % of spending on housing.
English

@Rpt3256318 @WallStreetApes A target employee makes $17 an hour. After taxes that is $2,443 a month. A mortgage on a 300K with a 6% interest rate is $2,168 dollars per month after taxes and insurance.
Please tell me how someone coule budget their remaining 300 for car, health insurance, food, and family?

@Synergizedknwlg @omgsidewalks The worst part is that now with globalization, any country that reduces work hours is hurting their strength on the global stage. We are locked in a standstill war of who can produce the most useless bullshit.
English

The 40-hour, 50-week year wasn’t designed around human wellbeing. It was designed in the 1920s around factory output. Henry Ford didn’t settle on 40 hours because it was healthy, he settled on it because productivity collapsed beyond that point. A century later, we’re still running the same schedule on knowledge workers whose brains need far more rest than an assembly line ever did.

@conspiracyb0t the current problem is that they will take your home away from you. yes, obviously there has to be some fee to keep funding ongoing city services, but under threat of eviction is extreme.

@WPFMabie @GreenTextRepost a disdain for the current society i am forced to be a part of isnt exactly a temporary problem.

@Yanabackupp ive run out of money. im going to walk into the forest with my 12 gauge and if i i begin to starve i will down my emergency liquor and call it quits: i dont fear the afterlife, my soul will go on, i an afraid of this dystopian hellscape.
English

@Yanabackupp i cant believe we let thing get this way. thousands of ancestors struggled for me to exist in this moment. and what have we made of it? mass enslavement on a global scale.
this is not progress. this is the result of human greed and individualism corrupting the global people.

@OuroborousAB @anoncdn_123 @guyfelicella Living off the land solo is hard, yes. We are tribal animals that used to have generational knowledge passed down. Comparing solo survival now vs then is idiotic.
In the last 65 years alone we have lost 70% of the vertebrae population. No shit its going to be harder now

@bot750341 @anoncdn_123 @guyfelicella When you get there, you’ll find out it takes a lot of labour to haul water, build shelter and keep a fire going. But you don’t have tools or a bucket yet so you’ll have to work to find materials, process them and make the objects on top of that. Then you’ll have to
