3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Is there homelessness in China? Why or why not? What happens in China if someone can't pay rent? (lemmy.world)

I genuinely don't know and would prefer getting perspectives from Lemmy rather than just reading generic facts. (Sorry if this seems lazy!)

I ask because China is communist, and sometimes I am afraid of some policies in China, like lack of free speech or free press. But I also think poverty and homelessness are a great evil and don't know to what extent China has stopped this.

I was about to say JD Vance might but then I remembered you said "no one in their right mind" would say it.

How do you know they are "in their right mind"?

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 2 points 18 hours ago

There was this guy years ago who made a modest proposal advocating for eating children to help both the rich and the poor.
