    many people in the world live in houses that aren’t even fully-enclosed, right?

    It’s crazy that you treat this as an insurmountable obstacle. Much less that there’s no political cache in surmounting it.

      Okay so just send in the Chinese with their concrete and bulldoze these people’s homes to build them nice new climate-controlled living spaces while also indebting them in higher amounts than they’re likely to make in their lifetimes.

      Cause that’s different from colonialism how?
