Good for him, I guess, but … I wouldn’t want to live in that POS even if you paid me. These stories are so frustrating because they start to normalize that living in a shoebox is normal. It isn’t. It’s terrible.

Well considering the Western world’s comforts are here for us at the cost of poverty everywhere else. Hum idk maybe this should be a start in a moderate society.

One that has no rich fucks but also doesn’t have poverty

Living in a dumpster is the very fucking definition of poverty.

For us yes ofc. I mean for the rest of the world wich is where my point fits.

But then we are entering in something that’s too radical for today, I’ve rarely had support when I point out borders are weird and kinda should disappear

Plenty of people around the world would give just about anything to live in something like this.
Not really. Wealth is not a zero sum game.

Wealth is not a zero sum game.

The way it’s being treated, it absolutely is.

Lot of poverty in the western world and lot of excessive wealth ‘everywhere else’.
