A 10-year-old boy was shot dead in front of his Omaha, Nebraska, home on Thursday night—allegedly by his own father.

        The guy you are arguing with is an idiot trying to make you angry to “win” because you said to not get angry. Just ignore the troll.

          If I come across as arguing then that’s a mistake on my part.

          Worldwide? I don’t know. In the US? Yes they’ve gone up. In the summer prices began to dip but in autumn they rose again. Some towns and cities in California, Texas, Kentucky, Washington state, and Oregon have declined. Most places are holding. It doesn’t look like prices will go down in the near future.

          Now my questions:

          • Is housing prices the most important criterion to describe the world as “going to shit?”
          • How does getting angry solve the problem of housing? Or any problem?
          • If getting angry doesn’t solve the housing problem what might?

            Good you answered a yes or no question. I am done with you now. Go hang out with the other neoliberal losers.

              You’re free to talk with me or not. You can dismiss me as a neoliberal if you want but that doesn’t describe me all at. In our whole conversation I’ve made primarily two points: (1) anger is neither a good nor productive emotion and (2) while the world has many serious problems, over the decades consistent progress has been made to improve the situation of most of the world’s population. Generally, if trends continue the future will be better than the past for a lot of people (the recent uptick in world hunger going against the previous trend of reduced hunger is a counterargument).
