        Clearly, one family won’t be able to fit in a 1-bed, 1-bath shack. With 3 kids, they’ll need at least 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. Include the grandparents on both sides, and that’s 6 bedrooms, 4 baths. And for good measure, add a guest room with its own bathroom.

    This will gain traction and then he’ll silently make a deal allowing the corpos even more control. MAGA will claim he already improved things and the rest of everyone can point at the corpos buying more homes and it won’t matter.

    Rinse and repeat.
