Yea, it would be interesting to have a global body like the UN working on this with public opinion. We can always be seeking a more moral and just world.

I’m in the USA: proof that a rich country will destroy their own history without much thought so ya it’s become increasingly nuanced as time progresses

I’m on a hill so I’m waiting for the rains to pick up and carve their house into a gully. It’s basically a future stream now

Yea returning the stuff and allowing the origin countries profit off it would be nice. We lose a lot of history to war torn countries tho. Preservation has a cost and its own logistics. If you knew the item would be pawned off or destroyed; morally I’d like the history with someone who has the resources to preserve it and share it with as many as possible. International travelers can probably afford the hit. Presuming the effected people you describe can afford to travel.

That’s generally how you want to set up your tourist attractions. They provide entertainment and draw for residents and you pass upkeep costs onto the visitors.

It turns out sports-bot was more human than most humans

Seriously, I live in the woods and people keep moving in and clear cutting. The woods are just suburbia after covid lol

Can we still play Risk! Or is that too close to home as well?

I’ve also come to this conclusion. Twas a fun go but now I feel morally bankrupt and no longer want to be accomplice.

Give it a year or two of food shortages and unaffordable health care

Most people use this trick when they have friends or family and the rental is a mutually beneficial situation. but when you get into larger homes and commercial redesignation, we’ve turned a lot of old mansions and warehouses into 4+ unit condos.

Varies by town ordinance; but if it’s within standards usually you can get a deed for each unit and it becomes a condo association basically. Part of the zoning reforms we are fighting for.

Also you could still rent a house back in 2008 for like $400-$1000 so the living with the parents thing wasn’t a necessity back then. We’d have 4 dudes in a 2 bedroom housing paying 2-$300 a month

Right, but you’d try to find a distressed duplex for the same price as a single family. If you’re gonna risk buying a shitter and fixing it, might as well get an additional income.

Yea I hope I put enough emphasis on the 2008 crash being responsible for his luck. I think he paid around $100,000 for a condo in California.

I grew weed for 20 years which was the only way I got on the housing ladder at 26. I’ve been forced to downsize already but haven’t fallen off yet

I think the non-college route yielded better than college for my age cohort. First dude I knew who bought a house was like 19 and he’d been working at Costco for 4+ years. 2008 happened and suddenly this young man had a stable job and savings and looked great on paper 🥲

No…. It’s substantially worse in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, umm I’m sure more but I read about theirs most.

That’s probably the best strategy. Or buying a duplex and renting half of it. Either way now-a-days in America you gotta be willing to put ALOT of sweat equity in the get a shelter

But not for trains or public transit??

Observer of history states historical observances.

And there lies the real problem, the handing down of large sums of money. Entrenched wealth and power of an aristocracy. It destroys the meritocracy and the desire to progress society. My grandpa taught me a valuable lesson by giving all his money away. He paid for school, camp, life skills and that was it. True believer in the American dream having secured it for himself. I often wonder what he would think about the current state of the economy. As well as how I would interpret the state of the economy, if I wasn’t living in utter fucking poverty. I would not have the same attachment to social issues if I wasn’t front lines on the war against the poor.
