I suppose it depends on how you'd define "solved". If we're talking about basically eliminating homelessness, Cuba has done immense work in that regard. Say what you will about the Cuban government, but Cuba has a near-zero homeless population because the government has built a ton of housing and caps rent at 10% of individual income in that state-owned housing. Cuba is also a country with a tradition of multi-generational extended family homes, so there's a greater chance that you'd be able to move in with a family member if you fell on hard times. Home ownership rate is around 85% compared to 65% in the US. All of this is nothing new, though, so it's hard to say if it's the answer to current issues of housing that's largely driven by corporate greed, but it certainly sounds like it couldn't hurt. Granted, I've seen people give examples of homes that are rather small and spartan, where the walls are made of bare cinderblock and generally aren't very pretty, but that's way better than being homeless even if some of the housing isn't as nice as others. I've also examples of state-owned housing lived in by the same kinds of people, but are really quite nice as well. Whether the US government would ever do this, though, seems unlikely. Not at the scale we'd need and not for so cheap, anyway, especially not with Trump coming to office. I can't really speak for the governments of other countries, however, and I'm no expert on Cuba either, so I could have gotten some things wrong. The US embargo to Cuba since the 90s also means that Cuba has had a more difficult time procuring building materials for the low-cost housing that's helped so many, which has led to an increase in size and number for those extended family homes over the years.
I've never noticed such a pattern myself and I'm not sure I'd agree that most kings are depicted as red-headed. It would be a little odd considering the relative rarity of red hair in people. What specific depictions are you talking about? Could you give us a list of examples? If you google "cartoon king", you'll find only a few redheads among dozens of brown or white-haired kings, which is what I'd expected to find. Maybe if this is a legit trend you see, it could be regional thing? Are there many red-headed people in your country?
Are those real stockings? During WWII, almost all the synthetic fabrics being produced were being used for the war effort, which made stockings incredibly difficult or impossible to find, so women took to drawing on the "seam" with makeup instead. Maybe they're inspecting how good of a job they did at faking them?
The basic rule is that if you can drop the name and the sentence still makes sense, use a comma. It still applies to greetings, since a greeting is still a greeting whether or not you use a person's name while doing so.
You wouldn't use a comma if you said something like "Jack went to work."
Wouldn't most pizza snobs say that Margherita is the most pure pizza? After all, this guy doesn't actually like pizza, he's just using it as a vehicle for all that extra cheese. Hell, pizza Marinara doesn't have cheese at all and originally didn't even have tomato sauce. Surely that's even more pure? I guess I'm a pizza snob snob. /s
Also, It's kind of a stupid opinion. It's ignorant of some absolutely fantastic kinds of pizza like capricciosa, which is one of the most popular kinds of pizza in Italy. If the inventors of pizza say plenty of toppings are fine and even good, why be so prescriptive for everyone else? If OOP could expand their definition of pizza, they might even get to try the magnificence of pissaladière.
People always freak out over this picture but it's just a joke about motorcycles. Bumper stickers say "Yamaha" and "Look twice for motorcycles", but it seems to be partially torn so "for mo" is cut off.
Honestly, maybe not the easiest concept for Disney to pull off when more than a hundred of their films (a little over half) have a main character with one or both parents dead or missing. Even with just the ones on the box, Ariel's mom is dead, Max's mom is dead, Tiana's dad dies off-camera during the movie, and we all know what happens to Mufasa.
In his 1953 autobiography, Danish explorer Peter Freuchen claimed that in 1926, he became trapped in a blizzard while running a dog team and was forced to take shelter under his sled for 30 hours while snow built up and froze around him. When he tried to emerge, he found he was entombed in ice and unable to break free with his hands alone. Thinking quickly, he took a shit right there, shaped the turd into a chisel, and allowed it to freeze solid. He then claims he was able to use his newly made tool to chip his way free and make it back to camp. Peter was the only witness to his supposed escape. The study mentions it's based on an Inuit ethnographic account, however. Maybe Peter, having spent much time in the Arctic with Inuit peoples simply took the story for himself. With the runners of the study finding that they were unable to replicate such a technique, it lends credibility to the claim that story may have been fabricated.
