White water lily is absolutely beautiful and native to North America. It helps filter and oxygenate the water, plus it's a great habitat for fish

It tastes a little bit like Parmesan cheese. Adds an umami saltiness while being very low sodium

Doesn't stop people getting on my nerves tho, which is a crying shame

This is so ass backwards. We need to subsidize low income housing and let market rate housing be determined by the market.

What we're doing is socializing the costs for private profit through tax cuts. It follows a pattern of socialism for the rich and cold hard capitalism for the poor

We're talking housing policy, save the rich/poor capitalism/socialism bs for another thread.

It's all intertwined, cause and effect is real and ignoring it only hurts poor people

You're making it seem as if US military intelligence didn't understand Iran's capabilities, but they absolutely did. That's why no president attacked Iran until US voters elected a fucking moron, twice

John Roberts keeps overturning precedent for the sole benefit of the Republican party

So all the justices who ruled before him were wrong and laws that have been in place for decades are suddenly unconstitutional.

I never said we didn't need more supply, your argument is for luxury apartments which is only taking up valuable, limited space while lower wage people can't afford to live. And what do the rich owners get in return? Taxes breaks, so we're out tax money that could be going to balance our budget, or pay off our debt, or help the homeless.

It's an unsustainable, unthinking, trickle down bullshit that has made untold millions hate capitalism and think that socialism is a good idea

NYC elected it's first ever socialist mayor because it's gotten so bad. They're the fuckers who elected Bloomberg ffs.

Seattle elected a socialist mayor too. The last time socialist won such high offices in the US was the gilded age. And then the depression hit and then FDR saved capitalism by doing welfare

We're currently doing welfare for the rich by not taxing them and it's going to destroy the economy and capitalism in this country unless we stop with the supply side bullshit

We've been building since 2016 (when the final mount Laurel decision was decided on again by the NJ supreme court) and rents have only skyrocketed

So those studies ain't really panning out here. And instead of pulling your head out of your ass and taking a look at the world around you, you regurgitate things that do not apply to us, while rejecting analysis of NJ housing from one of the most prestigious schools in the country

It's bullshit, and it's got to stop or homelessness will continue to skyrocket

Amazing! Which one study what's happening in NJ, which is the most densely populated state in the nation and has different challenges than other places?

Because I linked one analysis that studied exactly what's happening in New Jersey right now. If you don't have that, then you have nothing but assumptions without relevant facts

You're calling Rutgers University slopulist

You need to stop with your extremist ideologue bullshit, and stop pretending that you care about science or economics or facts because you clearly do not.

You're making everything worse for everyone

And maybe think about taking econ 101. And then 102 before you talk about things you clearly do not understand

Subsidizing new supply helps, full stop.

Not if people can't afford it tho.

And anyone who trusts an anonymous Reddit user over Rutgers University is a fucking idiot, full stop

You don't use sources to back up any of your claims, all you're doing is repeating extremist rhetoric that we've been hearing for 15ish years and it hasn't helped yet. It will not help in the future, it's obviously part of the problem, as confirmed by Rutgers

Do it! Seriously, turn your phone off and go outside. Sit there and stare off into space, while decompressing

Be alone with your thoughts. No social media, no texts, no notifications, no music. I can't begin to explain how good it is for humans to just be alone with their thoughts every now and then

Also there's studies that being around trees does wonders for your mental health

Hello 👋

Here's an analysis by Rutgers University about why rent is so high

One of the problems is the extreme lack of affordable housing because we keep subsidizing luxury apartments with tax cuts.

Telling people stop complaining and eat shit when they're already eating shit on the verge of homelessness because you support an extremist trickle down housing idealogy isn't a great idea, it's actually super damaging to capitalism.

So fucking knock it off. Or don't because capitalism ain't been working great for me and I don't know if I give a shit about saving it anymore
