Maggie MaybePlease take a moment to appreciate this man named Tom Coleman who ran on singles rights, but who has been an activist my whole life for people like me.
I remember him from the 90s because his take was that Childfree people should be getting tax breaks instead of taxed more, since we are not adding more people to the earth that can’t handle all of us as it is.
Rent was still affordable back then, but even then he acknowledged that single people pay a penalty simply by being single. If I’m sharing a one-bedroom apartment with a partner I am paying half what I would pay as a single person in a one bedroom, for example.
He is retired now, and there’s probably no chance anyone will pick this up again until after the depression we have coming & then some rebuilding. But this really could have been something good.
