So... Both countries involved?

Homelessness doesn't exist because of a lack of housing.

Social mobility just works in both directions, and about as often.

Yeah, no, that's a massive streaming pile of self soothing bullshit that isn't convincing anyone but you.

Let’s say that you have an opportunity to gain billions to fix the society from the top.

Society can not, and never will be, fixed from the top.

Nor is money the solution to our problems, if anything, it is a huge part of the cause (and why communism aspires to a moneyless society, among other things).

So even if I say I'd only accept the money if I could instantly redistribute it, as long as other billionaires, and the systems that create and uphold them, exist, my personal actions would probably make little difference in the long run, and any money I shared would end up right back in their pockets (by virtue of how capitalism works).

Knowing airb&b, they probably already have an "extra lightbulbs" charge baked in to the cost somewhere..

E: that, or the owner will catch you on spycam and not only charge you but get you blacklisted, too..

They also categorically do not get quality healthcare or education.

Lol, sure thing buddy..

E: on a more serious note, the fact that the prospect of having all your needs met just because they should be, makes you think of prison is not only absurd and concerning, but mostly a testament to how powerful capitalist indoctrination is. You should look in to that.

Lmfao, oh yeah? Which prison is that?

Thanks for the heads up.

OP - my feedback is fix this.

Ok, fantastic! I definitely agree with trying it out more open at first and then adjusting as/if needed when issues come up. Which they're bound to, because we're a bunch of random people on the internet after all, but I think addressing them as they come would be easier both on you in terms of not having to plan ahead for every eventuality (easier said than done, I know), but also easier to resolve each individual issue, because it'll be right in front of you/the community to assess and consider as is, rather than a hypothetical.

Thanks for taking the time to talk things through and clarify, it is very much appreciated, and is a great sign of things to come!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding? From what I gather from this post, while those who have been vouched for (and thrediverse enjoyers) can vote, but only those who donate can open threads up in the relevant comm, which to my understanding is the only way to bring issues up for a vote in the first place? That seems like more privilege.

Like I said, I hear you, and I understand that it is a complicated issue to resolve, and that this is only an initial solution, but that you are aware and taking it in to consideration, and I'm genuinely not trying to give you a hard time or be a pain, just wanting to keep my concern on the record.
