Maybe I should move to new Zealand.

Better yet, maybe other people in America can wake the fuck up and stage a general strike

New Zealand is in real trouble. They face the worst housing crisis in the Western World.

Basically, they don't build anything at all.

They had a decent woman that tried to turn things around. But Jacynda Aerdern told them to limit travel and wear masks during a global pandemic. She saved countless lives. But conspiracy theorists freaked out and called her evil.

Now they have a government of right-wing clowns.

The throttling of housebuilding across the western world sure has made a lot of very rich people even more rich.
