The dude should be homeless, it is astonishing that someone can declare bankruptcy yet still get paid enough to live a rich lifestyle.

That’s because we live in a caste system, whether we like it or not. It matters who you are, not what you do.

Lots of bankrupt small business owners still living in their own homes.

As a socialist, I believe housing is a human right.

But motherfuckers like this aren't humans so... Yeah. Agreed.

Idk what Jones's living arrangement is like, but I'd be very surprised to hear if it was subsistence housing. Roof, walls, toilet, privacy are human rights. Mansion? Nope-a-roo.

It's impossible to justify the creations of a capitalist system with socialist explanations.

If we're talking about just a social safety net, and making sure every human being has housing provided as a human right, mcmansions are fine as long as everyone has access to some form of reasonable housing.

The only objection would be that mcmansions are generally wasteful and not built to last.

I'm sure to him and his family he is "poor". Which is a really absurd thought but wouldn't be surprising.
