IKEA has furnished and is renting out a 10 m2 apartment in central Tokyo for about a dollar per month. It's clearly a gimmick of sorts as the furniture in the apartment are worth a lot more then that. Still looking at the pictures it looks like living in a nicely furnished prison cell, that is also very high (floor to ceiling). Any takers for such compact living? I dont think climbing around on ladders to get around is for me.
It seems very futuristic though; it is a staple of sci-fi to pack people like sardines in a can (Ripley's apartment in aliens, 5th element etc., etc.)

I don't recall working class struggle twisting the arm of the Fed.
It looks more like the bourgeoisie is responsible for the Fed printing money. They can't stand the bust that needs to happen, so they're flailing around with MMT trying to keep the music going because they all know that when the music stops, one of them has to become a prole.
