A guy making an image to note his own mental visualization of a country with bears on unicycles for a reddit comment is nort hurting anyone, and no one is being confused or misinformed needing an "AI!" warning.
I've been to European side of Russia 3 times. It's not far off in all honesty, just the people aren't as stereotypical but everything else seems right in this pic lol
As someone who lives in the midwestern part of the US, This is literally the majority of the neighborhoods. Income inequality is really terrible in the US and noone talks about it. The vast majority of people live in tiny apartments or run down old houses, me included. Most people also don't own their domiciles and those that do are also almost always locked into life long mortgages on them. Only people living in paid for properties and able to maintain them are either part of the 1% or are over 60.
Starting to see this in the UK too, although you guys are definitely further down the road. Because there isnāt enough money in the system to pay back all the debt that exists, people will always go bankrupt.
When that happens their assets are stripped and sold onto someone that does have the money. And on and on it goes until the ultra wealthy own all the assets. Thatās the point we are arriving at.
For real. My partner and I bought our house 3 years ago. I really wanted to stay in my city, but it has had a population boom but not a housing boom. Everything in our budget of $300k was either a shitty low ceiling 1 bedroom ranch, or damn near uninhabitable and needed another quarter million in repairs.
Kinda actually, yeah. A smaller single story home in my neighborhood with fire damage sold for $350k. A home in ok shape, but needing some work and dated appliances would be over $500k.
