You really think either of the two US parties are truly pro-democratic/anti-elitism?

What's with the NSFW tag police in the comments lately? The most mild shit sets them off.

My county's economy is based entirely off of maximizing the extraction of the merger wealth of the working class and this is pretty much my face at all times these days.

I know you think you're being pragmatic but it's really just coming off as depraved.

This feels like it's supposed to be a dig on Star Wars if it weren't for the fact that it's got both Carrie Fisher and Natalie Portman.

It's like the trolley problem, except on one track is somebody's beloved father and on the other is some executive's 5th yacht.

I like to imagine we'd all be happier and better people if city infrastructure wasn't designed around trying to get cars from A to B instead of people.

 

I was doing some math in my head. I've been thinking about housing prices and wanted to assess the rough value of my city neighborhood block.

Assuming the average value of a house in my neighborhood is a flat $500k, that means 2 houses = $1M.

Counting the houses on my street I estimated there are about 20 houses per-block, which means 1 block = 20 houses = $10M.

Continuing to scale that up by factors of 10, we get:

10 blocks = 200 houses = $100M

and

100 blocks = 2000 houses = $1B

I opened up a map to visualize 100 blocks and it's practically my entire city neighborhood. Billionaires shouldn't exist.
