            No, but how is a market economy worse than what people did in the past?

                Do you really want government provided housing? The ones I am aware of are places like the projects and were the worst place to live (unless you were a drug dealer).

                  When imagining that the government do more can you not imagine that it do better?

                  Yes Americans have a shit government, they also don’t have a socialist government.

                  You’re pointing to the corrupt right wing hellscape you currently live in to deny that another way would be better.

                    What is one definitive thing the government does better? I want a 100% solid thing, and not just a thing that they have a monopoly on.
