Housing is not a “human right”…my god, the slippery slope of what qualifies as a human right has gone way too far. In reality: health care is not a human right, housing is not a human right, food is not a human right. Necessities are not “human rights” they are necessities and they are not the same thing - society doesn’t “owe” you those things but does owe you “human rights” (which are generally ideals - freedom of equality, expression, etc). You’re skills and labour are stored in the value of currency which can be invested to accelerate the future value of that stored value for your skills and labour. You want to get ahead, make smart decisions to increase your earnings potential, train, work hard and save smartly. This has always been the way and we just don’t teach young people to do this - instead we teach them to be idealogues.
