🔧 Step 1: Understand DPRK Housing Numbers

📌 Data:


  • 80,700 homes built in 1,500 rural villages.
  • 20,000 more rural homes currently under construction.
  • Total = 100,700 rural homes built or being built.


🇰🇵 DPRK Population (Estimate):


  • ~25 million people

We’ll assume:

  • These homes are for rural areas only (not urban high-rises).
  • These are single-family or small-unit homes, likely modest, i.e., working-class style.


🧮 DPRK per capita housing construction:


100,700 homes / 25,000,000 people ≈ 1 home per 248 people

🔧 Step 2: Compare with USA (Working-Class Focus)

🇺🇸 U.S. Population:


  • ~336 million (2025 est.)


🏗️ U.S. Annual Housing Construction:


According to U.S. Census data:

  • 2023: ~1.45 million new housing units were started.
    • About 65–70% are single-family homes, the rest are multi-family.
    • A significant share are high-end homes or investment properties, not working-class housing.



🎯 Filter: Working-Class Style Homes


Assumptions:

  • Assume 50% of new homes are working-class homes.
    • (Removes many luxury homes, vacation homes, and speculative units.)


50% of 1.45 million = 725,000 working-class homes annually

🧮 U.S. per capita housing construction (working class):


725,000 homes / 336,000,000 people ≈ 1 home per 463 people

⚖️ Side-by-Side Comparison (Working-Class Homes Only)

MetricDPRKUSA
Population25 million336 million
Working-class homes (recent project)100,700 (est.)725,000 (annual est.)
Per capita rate1 per 248 people1 per 463 people
Type of homesRural, modestMixed, filtered for WC
Scope1–2 years projectAnnual basis

🧠 Insight


  • On a per capita basis, the DPRK is currently building nearly twice as many working-class homes as the U.S. — 1 per 248 people vs. 1 per 463.
  • DPRK's campaign is state-directed, rural-focused, and ideological, aligning with their "Rural Revolution".
  • The U.S. system is market-driven, uneven, and often skewed toward urban and suburban developments, with working-class housing increasingly squeezed by:
    • Zoning laws
    • Rising material and labor costs
    • NIMBYism
    • Profit motive favoring luxury construction


🏁 Conclusion


The DPRK — despite sanctions, isolation, and limited resources — is currently outperforming the U.S. in building working-class homes per capita during this rural housing campaign.

The U.S., with a far larger economy, could do much better, but market distortions, speculation, and class dynamics reduce the actual rate of affordable housing production.

Let me know if you'd like this broken down by region (e.g., U.S. rural vs urban), or if you'd like a comparison over a decade.

@nanook Nigga shut the fuck up. We have had a deficit of homes in the USA at least since 2008. That the DPRK is beating us in building homes is a fucking embarrassment. That I am putting attention to this isn't something to tell me to leave for. I'm literally advocating for the USA to try harder in treating its citizens with respect by building more homes, while getting shit on by citizens like you who are blind and retarded "patriots". No idea if you are American but if you are, you are a fucking retard. Happy 4th you faggot.

Ex-Labour MP Zarah Sultana has announced she is resigning from the party, saying she will be founding a new party with her former leader Jeremy Corbyn. 🔥

Sultana, the Coventry South MP stripped of the Labour whip last year for backing a move to scrap the two-child benefit cap, said the new party would be formed with other independent MPs and activists, aiming to challenge a "broken" Westminster system.

My intention isn't to swing in, shaming ourguys for being excited--but rather to rein in the jumping whenever we're shown the barest ankle. It's a tease (and one likely even unintended, tbh).

Elon did a straight up Roman salute. A tease--perhaps intended.
Trump (after saving Israel just last week) is not rallying a cry against jews or even "just the business coy jews" in saying "Shylock."

He's doing boomer-tier, reddit name-calling. That's just an old businessman's "Voldemort", "Vader." It's calling out a *business* practice. He's just naming a fictional character, real reddit-level stuff.

Why such an obscure one? It's not. It's old business lingo. (I'm not in business, but even I've heard this, have read this term--even in normie books.)
It's like the left saying "the 1%" or the right saying "international globalists." They're not nudge-nudge nodding.
Trump is inviting 500,000+ Chinese on visas. He's not "saving Israel for last" or thinking about the 14 words. His married kids are married off to jews.

Have a good night despite this, guys, but don't gush over a boomer when he speaks like a redditor to show off his Yuge Brain at the 250th Pride Parade.

The 1775 Two Step That Led to American Independence

Regardless of Oval Office revisionism, Americans should never forget that their nation was forged in resistance to political slavery and claims by distant masters to unlimited power. Let us remember that the United States was founded on freedom, liberty and the rugged individualism of the White patriarchy. That's what they have taken from us.

The Declaration on Taking Up Arms contains flashes of wisdom that should have been burned into popular memory as much as any phrase from the following year’s Declaration of Independence. In 1775, Congress boldly declared that “our attachment to no nation upon earth should supplant our attachment to liberty.” Unfortunately, Washington policymakers long ago buried that maxim in their pursuit of dominating much of the globe.

Roman wicker well with ladder found in Norfolk – The History Blog
thehistoryblog.com/archives/73…

"The well was constructed by cutting a shaft down to the water line, then intricately weaving the wicker wall to create what is basically a large, bottomless basket with sails (uprights) woven into the horizontal weavers lining the shaft. The gap between the wicker and the cut shaft was filled with large timbers which the archaeologists believe was waste wood."

In April 2024, Mongabay published a report about local concerns being raised in connection to the largest lithium mine operating in Zimbabwe.

Following publication of the report, Zimbabwe’s Environmental Management Agency took action to conduct an assessment of water pollution reported in association with the Matezva Dam – a drinking water source for hundreds of local people and their livestock. As a result, regulators fined the mining company for three violations.
