For stuff that's neat. Neat article? Neat video? Neat pic of a bug you saw? All good. Neat meme? Ehhh... take it to the meme subs.

Believe it or not, there was a time when the US government built beautiful homes for working-class Americans to deal with a housing crisis (theconversation.com)

The government does help build housing. My apartment complex got over 2 million in PPP loans forgiven, and they built a new complex next to mine while constantly raising my rent, doing construction with backup alarms going off nonstop & shutting down my ability to leave, etc. Best part is I live in a blue state, and the cify made sure they let me know they don't care cause they claimed it meant it would bring more taxpayers to the community.

We keep acting like we'll find other solutions & eat the rich is only a metaphor, but it is the only solution.
