You know what we could do, right?

Tax the rich and build public housing and supporting infrastructure at scale. And by "build" I don't mean "give money to developers" I mean actually have the government employ people, buy equipment and run facilities.

Would it fix the problem? No. Would it help? Yes.

It would help, keep taxing them. You don't get that rich without hurting everything along the way.

Something's gonna pop and I don't think it'll be pretty. I hope I'm not around then.
