It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Good let’s stop throwing good money after bad
75 billion dollars. Sickening to think of how much housing that could have built.
America doesn't need to build housing. There's enough housing for everyone already. It's just that they're being rented held onto as speculative financial assets by parasites instead of being lived in. Most cities have more empty homes than homeless people.
More housing would lower housing prices so they won't be as attractive for speculators. The artificial scarcity is what helps them jack up rents.
I don’t think that’s a good reason to just build more houses though. I get what you’re saying, but it sounds kinda wasteful.
