Its truly not bad until you finish the cup and your mouth feels like you just chewed and swallowed a hunk of butter for the next 45 minutes.

Fuck, isn't that the truth. I fell in love the first time largely because she would/could actually talk with me about feelings and fears and I felt seen as a person for the first time.
life will beat the egotism out of you
I've met way too many mediocre (mostly)white (mainly)men who think they know everything to believe that.
I heard (could be mistaken) that there is a group in Texas that has shown up, armed, several times when tent cities were going to be torn down and averted their distruction, at least temporarily. Should def be a nationwide movement, but there would need to be a way to identify when the pigs were going to roll in.
Wow, I'm taken aback at a person actually coming onto the internet with an open mind. Good on you stranger, you're kinda my hero.
The first time I realized I was, for lack of a better word, different than the people I grew up around is when one of my high school buddies just casually said we should "just glass the middle east and get it over with". Glassing is a term we got from Halo which means to incinerate an area with such a high heat the surface turns to glass. His proposed method was obviously nuclear bombs.
No one else thought it was an outlandish thing to say, much less a truly abhorrent one.
I'm disengaging.
Curious, as the person who you were originally responding to deleted their comment. Is that per year or a one time expenditure?
Also, 36k is still literally 44-80% higher than your initial claim.
Data instead of anecdotes?
1975 =/= 1980. Looks like housing went up 64% in those 5 years from the data I already linked.
That's an exaggeration. The median price for new construction in 1980 was $64,600. [1] As for existing housing stock, the median home value in 1980 was $47,200. [2] As housing prices are heavily right skewed, the prices of cheap housing is far closer to the median than the price of expensive housing. Based on a cursory overview of some charts, it seems like the bottom 20% of houses are no more that 30% cheaper than the median, putting them in the $30k range.
Degrowth could definitely only be accomplished under a socialist model where we aren't price gouged for food and housing. A life with less work and less disposable crap sounds really fucking good though.
