My teacher was a punk back his day and fondly told us about how him and his friends would beat the crap out of Nazi punks when they would show up at the spots. He was born in Germany and his parents lived through the tiny mustache man period, so I am sure it was an act of German and family pride to address them appropriately. He would get a twinkle in his eye, as if recalling a fond memory that brought him joy.
Those subsidies are a fart in the wind against home prices inflated by artificial scarcity cause by passive income seekers and restrictive building codes that prevent low income and high density housing. It is like retailers giving a 10% discount for a week when they raise the prices 15%.
Such a weak and empty gesture to pander to voters. It is better than nothing, but that shouldn't be the bar they campaign on. Dems need to grow some teeth.
The Republican strategy is to deport illegal immigrants and free up the housing they occupy, there by increasing supply and lowering demand.
The Democrat strategy is to build more low income housing and allow in anybody who wants to come here. Increasing supply slowly and increasing demand substantially.
Neither really push for a program to build low income housing and 1500sqft starter homes that are reasonably priced.
What is a starter home today is 2500sqft, and that is only because builders make more money on those than 1500sqft.
I can tell you from personal experience that I can punt an aggressive juvenile possum about 30ft(I think it was diseased?). Low bar, but any relevant data is useful.
We are talking up to 2,000 Chihuahua that are determined to fight you at the cost of their lives. They will not get scared, they will not run, they understand it is you or them and there are 10,000lbs of them.
What I always found funny later in life was they never said anything about DMT. It was like they didn't want us to be aware of DMT existing, even though it was discovered in the 30s, found naturally in the 40s, known hallucinogenic for hundreds or thousands of years, but only studied as a hallucinogen in the 50s.
DMT is a glorious hallucinogen that any psychonaut should pursue, it is easier to obtain than LSD and profoundly better with shorter lasting effects than LSD or mushrooms. You got an hour to spend and are willing to shatter reality? DMT can change your mind.
It is 2025, you can be irrationally angry for the slightest disagreement with your narrow worldview seen from atop privilege because it is equivalent to assault and might as well be attempted murder, which makes you a racist communist fascist genocider.
So feel free to get angry at a picture and throw your verbal sabot into the gears of AI fecklessly, regardless of its making, as is your right in any country people want to risk deportation to live in.
They will absolutely be a thing. The airlines will be forced to have seating for the disabled, and you should understand that they will try to make that as uncomfortable as possible.
If they could stack passengers like firewood, they would.

Best damn teacher anyone could hope for.
