    I find it interesting how in every single video game that involves fostering a population, it’s up to you to make sure everyone is housed. Too logical and efficient for billionaires, I guess.

      What I love about those video games is that they teach us very clearly that a command economy leads to prosperity (unless you suck as a player I guess), but then billionaires tell us no, free market capitalism and trickle-down are the way we have to go.

        Funny, because it taught me that that task in reality is impossible, given real nations can’t load an old save file to fix their fuck ups in a simulation far, far simpler than reality.

        Of course you could certainly argue that one person wouldn’t be in charge of doing literally everything.
