In my opinion, basic human rights such as adequate housing shouldn't be left solely to the free market. That's just asking for human rights violations.

That said I'm kind of disappointed in how black and white this issue is usually dealt with on lemmy (I get the feeling most users have the opinion: capitalism equals evil)

In my ideal society, we as a society would facilitate basic housing for people where needed. Everything above the basic necessity of a roof above your head and a place for yourself (adequate housing), I think can be left up to the free market. I think the prices of the free market would be more 'proportional' if the free market knows it can't ask ludicrous prices because there's basic housing as a safety net.

As long as I have my aliases working and I can strip away unnecessary gui clutter, I'm fine with whatever.

People are not being sentenced when they are 0 years old, so it doesn't make much sense comparing those numbers.

I doubt airplanes heat up as much or more than cars, the window to fuselage/coachwork ratio is different. (still: must've been hot since someone felt it urgent enough to open an emergency exit, and others defended the action.)
