But I think the issue is that it's really difficult at a time when we have a housing shortage to see a big, beautiful home being knocked down.

And I think it's what people perceive as the waste of it that they're struggling with.

And I can understand that, even if you agree in principle that like there needs to be, you know, repercussions or maybe the house needs to be taken away from them or whatever.

But I mean, legally, I don't know if you can do that if the person owns the land or whatever.

But I can understand why it would kind of evoke upset in people.

Yeah, yeah, I mean, I completely understand it.

Okay, let's talk about a story from Russia now.

Now, obviously, Russia, questionable actions happening there all the time, no doubt about that, but this one really got me.

In Russia, women who don't want to have children are being sent to psychologists.

I mean, it's giving the hand, it's like it's Gilead, like it's crazy.

They've also over over the last few years, they've tightened abortion rules.

They have passed bills to make so-called child free propaganda illegal.

Like, sorry, are men being asked if they want to have children?

Because if a man says he doesn't want to have to, because sometimes men don't want to have children.

If a man says he doesn't want to have children, does he have to go to a psychologist?

Like it's just so fucked.

It's so fucked.

There's no other word I can think of to describe it.

I mean, well, there are many other words, horrifying, disgusting, disgraceful, but like fucked feels the most appropriate.

Yeah, for sure.
