    I’d rather live in a small, no frills apartment with only the most basic of rent prices to help cover repairs in a socialist economy over being homeless in a capitalist one.

        Oh, there’s people who would not because they’ve been trained to knee jerk to socialism being evil. The argument as well is that I’d rather live in a society where I have my needs met over one where I have a .0001% chance of being extravagantly rich.

        Feel you’re missing the forest for the trees here.

        The problem is that socialist systems do have higher access to housing, but proponents of capitalism see the system through the eyes of those privledged under it.

      I guess. Although I know heaps of beggers who make a killing.

      Easy 2 grand a week.

      If you know how to game, by God you can make a killing.

      Now that said to live with yourself you do need to have a bit of a habit, so they are paying a good 50% of that into the smack tax.

      I’ll say it again and again heroin addicts are the hardest working people in a capitalist society. Never stop workin it…
