You know what is a solution to the crunch? Spending a shit-ton of money--that you get by taxing our ever-growing billionaire class--on building public housing (and no, shovelling money at said billionaire developers who use it to build more sprawl doesn't count)

Are you going to do that? No? Then shut the fuck up about immigration.

I'm a lefty--like, card-carrying--and I'm getting really tired of identity politics being used to distract from wealth inequality. And to be fair, it's not like the "Stop the woke!" crowd doesn't do the same goddamn thing.
