Food for thought for defenders of #capitalism: 1.1 billion people, nearly a quarter of the global #urban population, live in #slums or informal settlements. That’s roughly the entire population of the planet when #Engels & #Marx published The #Communist Manifesto in 1848. Is this progress?

This one has an MO where she tries to grab all the bond money at the end of each tenancy, hoping students won't fight back. I'll bet she gets away with that fraud more often than not. As Critic says:

"Karen has been awarded thousands of dollars from her tenants’ bonds over the past two years."

With multiple houses, she'll have done well out of Luxon's handouts to landlords. Whereas for the mould and decay alone, MBIE should have come down on her like a ton of bricks.

Bring back public stocks!

In the slums of Wakaliga, on the outskirts of Uganda's capital Kampala, an independent film studio has been defying norms for 20 years. With shoestring budgets, Wakaliwood produces action and martial arts films that are viewed by millions of Ugandans on YouTube every year. This cult film studio, blending ultra-violence, comedy and tributes to Bruce Lee classics, made waves in 2010 with "Who Killed Captain Alex?", a viral hit amassing 10 million views.

According to the United Nations, Sierra Leone is one of the countries most exposed to coastal erosion. More than two million people are threatened by rising sea levels. Even the capital, Freetown, and its informal settlements – built by reclaiming land from the sea – are on the brink of sinking. A phenomenon caused by climate change, but exacerbated by human activity.
