It’s a 3 year term. $1m per house.

Even if you turn them into townhouses at half that price, 30 houses Vs 400,000 new people doesn’t really shift the needle.

So what you’re saying is that violence in the US should be compared to Afghanistan and Syria? Ok, I can agree with that.

That list proves my point - it’s mostly shootings. You have to go back to 2017 to find a vehicle/bombing attack in a western nation.

Note for non-Americans: “RTO” here means “Return To Office”. (Not Rostered Day Off)

This post is a perfect example of alienating people who are almost entirely progressive, because they don’t perfectly toe the left line.

Is the rush you feel from being righteous online really worth the millions of votes it costs the progressive cause?

Everything you’ve said is true. But it was all true in 70s as well. Todays young people aren’t going to remain as progressive - every generation becomes more conservative over time. Hell, baby boomers were hippies. That Karen who votes for Trump and calls the HOA when you forget to take your bins in on time - there’s a good chance she was burning her bra for equal pay when she was in college.

The far-left purity test alienates many mostly-left people.

You can be pro-choice, pro-women, all for supporting the poor, gay rights and trans rights - but if you dare suggest that maybe trans women shouldn’t be competing against born women in top-level sports, then the vocal left brand you as a transphobic TERF whose opinion isn’t even worth listening to. They would rather fight you over the 2% of things you disagree on, than embrace you for the 98% of values you have in common.

The vocal left want diversity in color, gender and sexuality - but they will not tolerate any diversity in thought or opinion.

The Italian right-wing party is fairly similar to the American left-wing party.

Shrinking? They increased their seats in the house last election, and now control >50%.

Where are all these mass bombings and vehicular murders in other Countries then? You average multiple mass shootings per week in the US, while the events in other countries typically happen less than once a year.

$44m over their term is about 15 houses per year. Considering they plan to bring in 400,000 new migrants per year, I’m not sure defunding women’s sports to build 15 houses is really going to make much of a dent in the housing market.

Finally! I’ve been wanting an upgrade, but if I want anything between a 7600 and a 7900, I have to buy last-gen tech. If the 7700 is well priced and actually available it should be a winner.
