Good for him, I guess, but ... I wouldn't want to live in that POS even if you paid me. These stories are so frustrating because they start to normalize that living in a shoebox is normal. It isn't. It's terrible.

Well considering the Western world's comforts are here for us at the cost of poverty everywhere else. Hum idk maybe this should be a start in a moderate society.

One that has no rich fucks but also doesn't have poverty

Living in a dumpster is the very fucking definition of poverty.

Plenty of people around the world would give just about anything to live in something like this.

For us yes ofc. I mean for the rest of the world wich is where my point fits.

But then we are entering in something that's too radical for today, I've rarely had support when I point out borders are weird and kinda should disappear

Lot of poverty in the western world and lot of excessive wealth 'everywhere else'.

Not really. Wealth is not a zero sum game.

Wealth is not a zero sum game.

The way it's being treated, it absolutely is.
