Any journalists who even think about thinking about writing a sentence like the above needs to stop writing and start reading because it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the platform.

It's cool guys, we can just keep spending forever and there will never be negative consequences because debt is always good!
ERP projects while the working man is barely able to keep the lights on. Sounds like government to me!

Yeah, unless your job is playboy billionaire philanthropist, Vancouver is out. A SFH is about 2 mill, and that's after the plummetting values in 2022.

Funny how they weren't screaming fascist when he was using a combination of state and corporate power to impose a certain vision on the common man (regarding electric cars), but when he uses his own money to buy their combination of state and corporate power and kicks out the government lackies then he's a fascist.

Even if I think people should be allowed to buy them if they want, but without major government help almost nobody would want one because they're expensive and impractical.

In openttd I'm being really sneaky. I chose a really remote city and set up a massive airport with attached trains and bus station and lory station, and I'm just continuously funding the city's growth so the entire city grows up around this intercontinental airport. It's presently the largest city on the continent and growing. Meanwhile I'm funding the growth from the massive profits I'm making carting entire planeloads of people from this massive city in the middle of nowhere to other massive cities in the middle of nowhere.
I've been looking into the Sumerian city of UR, and no one knows for sure what happened to it, but there was one hypothesis that it was invaded leading to the common saying "I'm in UR base killing UR dudes"
Communism are associated with totalitarianism and authoritarianism for the same reason fire is associated with hot: pretty much every time that it's tried the same thing happens.
When the blueprint for achieving a stateless society includes creating an all-powerful dictatorship, and the next step is that that all powerful dictatorship is supposed to just magically disappear, that's just to be expected.
The problem isn't the social or the commune, it's the ism. There are lots of people who are perfectly happy with the current system which while flawed has led to the greatest improvement in material quality of life in human history for more people than ever before in history, despite the many and obvious flaws of that system. Therefore, to switch to a different system that insists it'll change everything you're going to need to use force to get universal adoption.
In my view, an ideal system is one under which people are free to choose how they want to live. If you want a commune you can do so without oppressing those who don't. If you want to create a workers cooperative you're free to do so without oppressing those who don't, and I'd you want to engage in free trade you're free to do so without oppressing those who don't. There have been eras when US had a similar system to this, but it's sort of unstable and eventually someone wants to make everyone else do their ism.
