We need to raise the minimum wage and prohibit corporations from owning private homes.

Raising minimum wage won’t fix the core issue, which is corporate speculation on housing driving up costs.

Ok, so because a solution only alleviates part of the problem and not all of it it’s not worth doing?

Did you know a seatbelt won’t guarantee you’re protected in a car crash? Why even wear it?

^ this is how stupid your point was.

Many complex problems require complex and multifaceted solutions. In literally everything. Bunch of morons like you think that implementing something that doesn’t fix everything isn’t worth doing. Funny thing is this is the GOP stance on everything. It’s just obstructionist bullshit.

Raising minimum wage will only exacerbate the problem, you can’t legislate prosperity by artificially forcing wages higher without also increasing the cost of goods and services comparatively.

You should really try researching how minimum wage increases damage economic function before calling other people morons.
