    Literally these things have already been done with success. Your ignorance is not the definition of reality.

    We know for a fact that housing people, keeping rent under control, and even offering free public transport all lead to a stronger economy and far better financial security for the 99%(which is even good for the 1% because it means people can actually buy their shit). This isn’t wishful thinking, it’s been tried in better places and the US is a perfect case study on why the centrist and right-wing ideas don’t work and have never worked.

    You’re not a cynic, you’re poorly informed about the subject.
