Believing in something and believing something exists or is a certain state are two very different things.

You can believe that this despotic duopoly exists in such a way that there are only two outcomes, without believing such a system will ever function.

    Lawsuits like this list all possible parties that have money; so McDonald's, the local store, the local store owner, the distributor, any outside company any of the above companies use that could be linked to sanitation, all of them would be listed.

    If the case goes to trial and the movant(victim) wins, then the jury/judge will assign blame as a percent of the total. McDonald's may have no liability despite being included, or they may have 10% meaning they need to pay that percent of whatever judgement was awarded.

    Each named party can also independently try to settle to have their name removed from future proceedings.

    Let's work on getting people housed before faffing about with pointless nonsense like more or less desirable housing. When even the victorians has lower homelessness rates you don't get to worry about desirability.

    Second point, who cares? If they're living there now they pay tax there now. It does not matter they didn't pay tax before they lived there, that's how all other services work. You don't pay for the roads in a town you just moved to until you're moved in.

    I'm sorry, even if you go back to the original Russian empire, no entity or arbitrary collection of entities containing a "Russia" has invaded more countries or killed more civilians than the US.

    That's the plain fact of the matter. Invading more than 70 countries does that.

    Russia bad, the US is and will always be worse.

    Community housing that's fully tax funded. Common houses or public houses have been around for millenia, until the last couple hundred years really.

    Oh and "the tragedy of the commons" is literally propaganda made up by a literal feudal lord.
