Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

I really think everyone should watch a documentary or something on the dot-com bubble because it's been this exactly to a T, enough that it's extremely depressing that nobody learned anything, but also it gives you lots of hope 😌
So many billions spent on the build out of infrastructure for a product that hardly anyone is willing to pay to use.
