No. The stove causes pollution. This is the same as smoking around children. And it’s not addictive. Getting rid of it should be easy.

Even if that’s true.

Autism

Or

Rabies

What the actual fuck?

Hilariously those are the two that would probably be containable.

That’s not how human behavior works…

Someone thinks they’re very clever and they aren’t.

That reminds me of this comic strip…

Where I am you’re almost never the only delivery.

They do make multiple deliveries per trip…

Which is about how AI targeting goes these days.

Facial recognition is pretty easily tricked though. Just because it’s working on the Russians does not mean it will work everywhere.

I’m fully aware of what drones are capable of.

Unless it’s set to shoot at anything moving it’s going to be pretty shit. And once the targeting is that wide open you just get a tennis ball machine and waste it’s ammo.

I’m fine with either approach. As far as I’m concerned if services and groceries are an issue then the government just builds more.

It helps, I’m not denying that. But it can only ever slow down housing inflation and it can’t solve a housing shortage. As supply gets closer to demand their profits will start to drop. The only answer to that equation is the government paying them to keep building.

Yeah there’s a few ways to do it. I won’t complain about how it happens.

I’ve been saying it for years. We need to give HUD 500 million dollars (to start) and immunity from all but federal environmental laws. They drop apartment buildings in the highest cost markets with prices set to repay HUD over 50 years, cover maintenance, and two remodels in that time period. And the rent is of course nearly stabilized because it’s not seeking a profit. Then use the near guaranteed asset income to finance the next wave of buildings.

Just start dropping fucking anchors into the market.

They need to do the same thing for groceries too. Starting in food deserts, then monopoly areas, then high cost of living areas. Americans think they would hate it but in reality there would be literal fights to get those apartments.

Medicare Advantage took the house. Medicaid is the government run healthcare for poor people, and normal Medicare is the government run healthcare for old people. Medicare Advantage is the private plan for old people being paid for with a reverse mortgage. After they die the health insurance and the bank get to fight over the house.

Even the builder’s remedy isn’t going to solve homelessness or bring prices down much though. They still need to sell those properties, which means they need to have a price point that makes it profitable to build. So the law of supply and demand actually prevents them from building enough housing because if the price starts to go down they just stop building.

Because they aren’t competing in the way free market ideologists say they should. It generally takes a 200 level economics class less than a day to figure out a price cartel is far better for the companies involved. I’m sure the professionals have their back channels and third party price consultants already figured out.

I guarantee you I’m not mixing up BTRs, IFVs, and tanks in their numbers. I brought up the Humvee example to show how flexible the specific concept is, not because I thought it was a tank or IFV.

And I just hope you’re right.
