I prefer the apartments as shown in The Fifth Element. Seriously though, having stayed in a Japanese hotel, I could totally live in a two room dwelling if I had to. Replace the two seat couch that was in there with a small kitchen and youre all set.

You know what would really crater property values AND fix the homeless situation? Bumpods. Bumpods as far as the eye can see. Maybe we could even stack them like in a honeycomb. Otherwise, I suppose those apartments and houses should be seized from their rightful owners and given away in a blow to fatcats everywhere.

The good news is that we could fit THOUSANDS of bumpods in Grant Park, and as an unexpected bonus, Buckingham Fountain can double as a bath house for the proletariat! w00tw00t!

No kidding! I wonder if they have bumfights to see who get the pods. 🤔- Politics... World events

Theres a lot of similarities: US unemployment is calculated and paid similarly, your "+70% rent" is our Section 8 Housing, we have a food program (SNAP) that only pays for food/groceries type things. But I think a big difference is our use of the term "social security". Here in the US, a % of every check goes into an account called Social Security. Think of it as a government mandated retirement plan. After you retire from work, and depending on the age that you retire, you will then receive monthly funds based on what you paid into the account over your working career. In Finland, "social security" is a government safety net that you can tap into at any time in your life when circumstances dictate.- Politics US Edition (2021-vol 2)
I know Ive asked you before but I forget...what is the lifespan of these benefits? I think you said before that a person can conceivably live their entire life without working? Not mentioned but I presume Finland also has a food program? Here in the US, if youve never worked a day in your life, then naturally you have never contributed into our version of "Social Security", and as such you cannot receive funds from it. But I think in Finland this is not a stipulation to receiving benefits?- Politics US Edition (2021-vol 2)
Maybe we can build cities that nobody lives in, or use them to fix our infrastructure. I even have a snazzy tagline, "Contribute to the pot, get three hots and a cot!"- Politics US Edition (2021-vol 2)

Yeah it seemed like it had to be a supply problem. My sister got her second dose the other day (she actually sent me a picture of her sitting in the chair with the needle in her shoulder ), and when I checked on her a few days later she said it was no big deal. Apparently theres some location in Miami where her and her circle of friends were easily able to acquire the vaccine.- Coronavirus Goes Fourth
