From Pacific Standard: In a recent study featuring a group of American twins, twins who experienced greater levels of inequality showed more physiological signs of stress.

“And consider pursuing policies that promote equality for all Americans. You won’t just have a fairer societyâyou’ll also have a healthier one.”
Meanwhile in Venezuela where they tried those ideas – To the regime, you are either a socialist or you are dead. In fact, Maduro reaffirmed his position last week: âIf Venezuela was plunged into chaos and violence and the Bolivarian Revolution destroyed, we would go to combat. We would never give up, and what we were not able to do with votes, we would do with weapons, we would liberate the fatherland with weapons.â http://www.euronews.com/2017/07/07/view-the-terror-of-life-in-venezuela-explained
Given the chance most of these make everything fair people would convert the United States of America to a third world socialist wasteland.
But one thing is also certain about modern capitalism: it is moving towards a rent-based, almost neo-feudal barbarism.
âThe primary source of income and wealth inequality in this country is from homeownership. But far too many poor families are shut out of the opportunity to improve their lives because of big banks working hand in glove with the government. We have to change that if weâre going to combat inequality.â Thats a Bernie Sanders quote and I agree with that.
I think more liberty not socialism is the way to combat neo-feudalism, start by going after the zoning boards and the 1001 stupid pointless rules that make houses so expensive. Next stop those property tax people and their license to steal and extort.
Concrete blocks are 8 inches by 16 inches. If you were building a 20X50 building with 8 foot walls then you would need approximately 1,260 blocks and they are like $1 each
Only a few generations ago you just build a house, now with all the 1001 BS rules, taxes and financial scams most millennials are living with parents when they a plenty young and strong enough to easily build a home, those new tools in Home Depo are cheap and are so kick ass and they keep getting better. The housing system today is such incredible BS. Construction is so easy.
Homelessness should not exist.
