    I was just watching a video on YouTube about how your life would’ve looked like if you lived in the 1800s in the US. They started the video by throwing out some information and then we got to the housing part.

    Basically, they compared city and farm people - every. single. place. they. lived. in. was. a. house! You realize no matter if you were poor or rich, you lived in a lovely (so to speak) house.

    No joke I turned off the video because it made me depressed, we are so fucked hahahaha

    It’s sad how greedy the wealthy have become and even allowed to become. This is why I personally am so far to the left now that I identify as an anarcho-communist.

    HA!!! You should check the Canadian house price/to income ratio.

    You would probably have to be payed 100$h+ in today’s money.

    We’re already suffering from the effects of class warfare and we’re on the losing end. Things like this are what they’ve taken from us: our time and our money, nickel-and-dimed away with each passing year. Meanwhile this culture war BS keeps us fighting each other instead of focusing on the wealthy business owners that are doing the stealing.

      You’re right. They keep trying to take away women, gay, and trans rights while legally imposing evangelical values on us and it’s time this war on all of us ended! We have serious economic issues to tackle!
