  • opportunities to new generations to help close the wealth gap

    So… New age trickle down economics instead of making stronger labor law and helping workers take part of the wealth stolen by the rich?

    Thank you for the explanation. It was informative, even if some of it sounds… irrelevant?

    It may appear easier for an African American to get into Harvard, but they are still less than 7% of the population there while being over 12% of the U.S. population total.

    It’s harder for African American folks to go to Harvard because of wealth disparity as you explained, but the suggestion there should be a proportional number of races in Harvard is (benevolently) racist.

    also, I’m not talking about them. They were a thing in the 50’s (after the war) when people were sharing bathrooms or kitchens, they were no longer really a thing in the 80’s. In the 80’s apartments had their own bathrooms and kitchens.

    edit: isn’t that basically “Friends” for USA people? :D

    Also, you create a false dichotomy here suggesting that if free housing was built the way USSR did it today then it would have to be built to the 1950s standard.

    I was describing buildings from the `80.

    Obviously there’s absolutely no reason why you couldn’t be building modern style apartments.

    … so the ones I described as “so many cons that I’m too sad to talk about them and we have a separate wiki page to describe how awful they can get”?
