    I mean, no. I’m not going to go dig up the syllabus for my econ classes just to prove a point.

    You clearly don’t understand economics if you think paying for housing for 335,000,000 citizens is even remotely feasible without a major tax increases on everyone.

    Communism is a nice thought experiment, but it’ll never actually work because humans are awful.

      “Humans are awful” is why they call econ the dismal science; did they actually present that as a reason why communism wouldn’t work when your classes covered it?

      So you haven’t read a book on economics since you graduated, got it.
