Americans are innovating people into cage homes, meanwhile China is getting people out of them.
American cagification: wholesome freedom and democracy
Chinese decagification: Totalitarianism 1984
Uighur Genocide is when you build a city center, establish industrial jobs, introduce utilities and amenities, and incorporate a neighborhood into the mass transport grid.
I wish China would genocide me, it would be an improvement really
encage!
Under communism, the people own nothing. You can't imagine that under capitalism.

Yeah, I should probably specify the name of the meme when I post it. I feel like something gets lost when I fail to do so.
So, how can we untangle the "live in pod eat bug" meme from its far-right history? Because I really want to ask how far this is from the nearest insect cafeteria
Today, you're going to be told that eating bugs is soy and its destroying masculinity.
Tomorrow, every fucking "get fit in 30 days" self-help Joe Rogan knock off is going to tell you that eating powdered bug meal is the fastest way to maximize your inner potential and hustle harder.
Gulag 🙁☹️🙁
Living pod 😊☺️☺️
$30/day 
Have you considered eating less?
Have you considered not taking on all that student debt?
Have you considered turning the A/C up to 85° during the summer?
Have you considered getting married for tax purposes?
Have you considered living in a flop house?
Hey, why aren't you having any kids?
Every other month some techbro dipshit solves the housing crises with his new idea that’s been used a thousand times before by other startup dipshits
love to reinvent the workhouse, but this time gentrified
Next from my "Sorry to Bother You" to-do list, I'll unveil my solution to the employment crisis: Equisapiens! 
Very good observation. The movie was very much inspired by the prison industrial complex, which did learn from camps, prisons, forced mining camps and soldier barracks.
Oh hey literal gulags. Gulags for lanyards lmao

South African miners' or prisoners' beds in Gauteng differ by not having mattresses and a ladder in terms of configuration from OP's picture.
Capitalism will always fall back onto itself. If you want to know what Capitalism will do look into apartheid South Africa and how much evil was there. Landlords goals will be to increase the number of people to the profit maximum, which will be more than one person per bed.
I feel that the limit to that i.e. concentration/extermination camps will have racial, antisemitic, colonial or fascist elements to it, as the goal is then often not the maximization of profit, but the minimization of cost (there are some Marxist-ish influenced Historians who roughly make that point in regard to the destruction through labour during Hitlerism's holocaust).
Contrast the SF flat with a museum's flat from the GDR which was produced on scale starting in 1973.
Other relevant terms might be coffin homes (Singapour, HK under British rule and the after effects of it) or cage homes.
Waiting for lemmy liberals to come in here and mouth off about how the GDR was ackshually a continuation of Hitlerian fascism and socialist apartments are evil because they’re “spiritual gulags”.
Yes I’ve actually heard that in real life.
Not the worst example though. In DC they used to have a “Newseum” where they put up a fragment of the Berlin Wall and had “freedom and democracy” painted on the floor on the West German side and “authoritarian oppression” on the East German side. The same “museum” also had a “freedom index” on the map, and yes it’s exactly what you expect it to be 
It was really illuminating in that it showed that the most complex political analysis liberals can muster is just one thought-terminating cliche after another.
because they’re “spiritual gulags”.
Yes I’ve actually heard that in real life.
Death to every landlord
Building affordable housing 
...but it's as uncomfortable as possible
It's not housing it's servents quarters.
$900/month isn’t even cheap for not having your own room.
Federal minimum wage is $1160 a month before taxes (assuming 40 hours a week, which is also pretty unlikely for minimum wage jobs).
I know this is San Fran, and CA minimum wage is bumping up to $16/hr in January, so it’s really only 35% of your gross income for worse accommodations than a college dorm.
such is life in the best of all possible worlds
Death to America
that's not a creative solution that's just slums
I would choose literally any living arrangement in the Continental U.S. that we called a "slum" in the '90s over what OP posted here today. At least the slumlords had the decency to give you enough space to fucking breathe.

Mold permitting. 
Lol this state produces hundred million dollar movies that rake in billions of dollars, hundreds of starts ups with absurd amounts of VC funding, several billionaires and millionaires residing in the same neighborhoods, and a significant amount of exports and imports occur there.
Yet the only way for the people to live is inside a communal pod.
And this is communism’s fault.
Cage homes
two of these plywood bunkbeds cost more than my house
midwest is best
Edit: by 2 bunkbeds, I don't mean 4 beds total, I just mean the 2 beds
Seriously, for what they're charging I was able to rent a pretty nice 1 bd/br in Cincinnati like half a decade ago. If you look at the shared amenities on the website, it looks like they just shoved 2 bunkbeds into that same amount of space
Can I meet the landlord? I just wanna talk 
Capitalism is so innovative they've reinvented flophouses
If I was the dear leader of earth just thinking this idea would get you put in cannon that would fire you through a chain link fence.
this arrangement and pricing is basically just a hostel, but for some reason presented as being housing. I've also been in plenty of hostels that have beds built like that, and they're perfectly good beds. it's usually the good hostels that have beds like this.
I wouldn't even by able to lay completely flat in that tiny-ass bunk
This is just a flop house. Quit calling it a "pod." Capitalism's greatest innovation is renaming bullshit. Pretty soon workhouses will be a thing because food now cost as much as going out s year ago.
