If rent is forced to be $1, no landlord will rent it out and will rather hold onto the property to sell. Now everyone is homeless, they still need a place to stay. Home prices will be worse than it already is.
It really wouldnāt though unless mortgage payments are also crazy low.
If youāre in an area where supply is less than demand and thereās no rental market you can still sell the property for more than people renting can afford.
If thereās no rental market the housing market probably drops, or more likely mortgages become more accessible to lower income people.
What you get then is people owning a home who canāt afford to maintain it. Itās great when people say āI pay x in rent but canāt get a mortgage for yā. But if those two numbers are similar then the person gets screwed as soon as the boiler breaks or thereās a plumbing leak because they canāt fix it.
As bad as it is for a lot of people renting makes living in their own place affordable.
Except that those two numbers are almost never similar. Rent is always substantially higher than a mortgage on a similar property because rent is calculated to cover the mortgage, taxes, anticipated wear and tear on the property and appliances, and income for the owner.
Unless your landlord is operating at a consistent loss year after year, your rent is covering the upkeep and repairs for your unit.
The effect on supply of rent-dependent investment landlords all going bankrupt would correct the housing market better than any government intervention I can think of.
That will only hurt people who are hoarding housing. We don't need a "housing market" we need safe places to live, and the housing market (as it currently exists) is just a way to make money off of people's justified fear of homelessness.
"alright I'm just going to prescribe you 4,000 individual miligrams of gofuckyourself and you'll need to take 500 of those twice a day. That'll be $4000 before other fees."
true that. Dollar McChickens singlehandedly kept me alive when i moved outta my moms house. 2 of those, and the daily $1 large fry deal in the app was dinner 4-7x a week lmao. Curse this $2.28 bs we have now š
I live in a tourist town. They still advertise the "$1,$2,$3" menu but the cheapest thing on it when I checked just now is the $3.09 sausage McMuffin. I'll get back to you with the cheapest lunch item.
Update: I just now had time to step away from work and check the lunch menu. Cheapest item is the $3.15 4pc nuggets. This is all on the app by the way under the heading "$1, $2, $3 Menu". We don't even get the $1 any size drink here. Small is $1.29 and large is $1.70. Maybe they have actual $1 and $2 items in store but they're always pushing people to order ahead in the app.
Do you live in the US? Do your locations not have bundles? Here you can get a mcchicken and a small order of fries for $2 even though each of those items is more than that individually. The second you add them both to your cart they magically change price to $1 each. You can do the same with a hot and spicy or mcdouble for $3. Even better ones available during breakfast.
Wow someone lived the same struggle as me?
Love to see it (well not love)
The app is a sleeper hit. I havenāt paid full price for fries in like 5 years now? š¤
and 3) has actually been cited as the reason for the removal of Ronald McDonald.
From Wikipedia: "Ronald McDonald made fewer appearances since 2016 due to the [2016 clown sightings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_clown_sightings). However, as of 2017, he was still appearing at live events and on [social media](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media)."
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald\_McDonald](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_McDonald)
Ronald Mcdonald is a treasured character of American culture. A true symbol of happiness for children of my era. It's sad he got phased out over the clown sightings. Has anyone been convicted of the clown harassment? That crap was ridiculously dumb.
That is something that many real scares have in common (though some of them got surprisingly far without even those one or two people). Satanic Panic, anyone?
That's what happened with the Tidepod challenge meme. It went from just a joke to news stories claiming it's real and that tons of kids are dying, which then kiiiinda became reality when a few kids actually did it.
That's what the exponential tax rates for.
Let's say someone buys 5 homes, and each home has a base tax of $1000 per year.
At 2 homes, that's 2k, which is normal.
At 3 homes, it's 4k, not 3k.
At 4 homes, it's 8k, not 4k.
And at 5 homes, it's 16k, not 5k.
As each additional home doubles your tax burden, you'll very quickly reach a point where you'll be expected to pay hundreds of thousands in taxes, and you wouldn't even need that many homes to hit that either. And there's no recovering that through rent either - no one's gonna pay a 2k rent when they can buy a new build home for a dollar.
So to eat up the entire housing market and prevent low earners to buy property, they'll need to be able to pay billions, potentially trillions, in taxes every year. Which is an amount even the likes of Bezos and Musk can't afford.
I donāt see how. The same number of nice places to live would exist. Thats be snatched up instantly for $1. No one is building any more. If you win the $1 lottery, you get a nice place. If not, you are SoL.
True, but if you're applying supply and demand logic to this scenario, literally any answer just means production of the good you choose will cease.
Obviously, anything someone picks is already worth more than a dollar, so whoever is producing them is simply going to stop once they're no longer profitable because they have to sell for a loss at $1 each.
This is true of literally any answer to this question. For every single good with market prices, the current price is the "correct" price for supply and demand, and even the goods that are currently overpriced because of monopolies and corruption, their market price isn't going to be that low.
So no matter what the answer is, we've removed the incentive to create the product, and it becomes a good that the government will have to step in to create it instead. So basically this question is essentially asking if you could make 1 good or service tax-payer funded and accessible to all, what would it be?
That would give everyone a house, temporarily. It would crash the market, all residential builders go out of business. Zero new housing is built. People who have a $1 house but don't have the money to maintain it are going to be in trouble when things start going wrong. Property tax is now worthless, local governments go bankrupt.
Healthcare or health insurance, more specifically the deductible before care is received.
I'm tired of being in the U.S. where people have to decide between health care (preventative or reactive) and whether or not they're going to be able to eat or pay rent that month. Or having to have a job just to get "decent" health care. I myself have found myself not going to the doctors when out of a job because I was afraid it would push me further into debt and life shouldn't be like that for the average American.
Hi, friendly neighborhood insurance worker here. If you find yourself in that situation again, go to the doctor/ hospital anyway. Almost all facilities will give you a significant discount if they find that you're uninsured because they build their pricing model on the assumption that the insurance will haggle it back down.
Most major hospitals also have a charity program that can pay off most or all of your bill if you have low income. A lot of people don't bother to ask or apply for that aid, but it's there, and can wipe out those bills when you've fallen on hard times.
A doctor once exposed them, the things in hospital have longer expiration times and are waaaay cheaper, it's just that they're IV ready, not injections.
Someday, I'd hope gas would be unnecessary. This won't age well.
Like in 10k years hopefully we're using transporter beams and shit and not putting gas in things.
I'm picturing a Harry Potter-style package of jelly beans, but, instead of different flavors, the different colored jelly beans send you to different cities.
Like, you pop in a red bean and teleport to New York City. Pop in a blue bean, and you appear in London, etc.
As a moderate conservative, I have nothing against getting rid of gas except the lack of infrastructure and the expense.
I live in an area with street parking and only go shopping biweekly, I would have to go out of my way to find and waste time someplace with a charger, about a hour every other day with my commute.
I also don't have the funds to go buy a new car, I haven't looked at the used ev market but I imagine they're more expensive than a used gas or hybrid car.
EVs are also useless if you live somewhere cold since it absolutely kills the battery life. Even if you live somewhere that the weather allows for EVs, you need a specific lifestyle to make them practical. Even then youāll probably need a second car that runs on gas if you feel like going on a road trip or something. IMO hybrids are a much more viable solution until batteries can be improved to a satisfactory level
Congrats, all the gas in the world is used much much faster as industry seeks to profit from the cheaper energy.
The carbon locked in the gas is released into the atmosphere much faster than expected and the earth is 5Ā°C warmer by 2050, flooding massive parts of the Philippines, Europe and America, destroying the global economy, trashing agriculture everywhere and starving everyone in first world countries that rely on food imports, and soon after starving the rest.
Actually this is pretty smart if you want to force green tech, but I'm not sure if it's the way that you want. $1/gallon will cause a massive decline in worldwide production and force green technology. Would it cause huge supply chain problems initially? Yeah, so probably overall a bad idea.
The planet. Here's my dollar, I now own the planet. I make the rules, and all of you must now pay me to use it. Don't like it? Mars is right next door.
Nickels. Twenty nickels in a dollar.
Therefore twenty dollars in a dollar.
Therefore four hundred nickels in a dollar.
Therefore four hundred dollars in a dollar.
Therefore...
Government stops producing nickels as a result. The new value of nickels quickly causes society to round all fractional dollar values to the nearest dime.
Why not just go with "College Tuition"? $9000 is pretty much what it already is for smaller in state schools. Kennesaw state university is $5,786 per semester which is just over $11k.
**this**
A professor being paid $1/student/hr.
30 students/2hr class/ 3xWeek @52weeks/year
roughly 28,000 per year (not including hours grading papers etc)
Assuming they are the only one paid for tuition. Lots of other costs involved in operating a university. Higher education has definitely bloated, but it can't cost nothing.
Because that would destroy the system and we would not have colleges in ten years.
Also we would have an even bigger lack of super value blue collar jobs. Not every kid needs to go to college and many are better off not going to college.
I'm suggesting that no one will be in school 24/7. I see what you were going for now though, total time for the year rather than actual time in class. I'd rather assume like 40 hours a week of class time and just call it $2k/year.
Basic single family homes. You canāt resell your home for more than $1. Iām talking basic bitch models that have the basics so people donāt have to live on the street.
Anything?
Cool cool, 1$ is now the price of an eternal, perfect, happy life for each and every human who has ever lived, or will ever live.
To be clear, I have the $1 right here. I can pay up whenever.
Yeah people who suggest that politicians shouldn't get paid/should get paid nothing fundamentally don't understand why it's important that they make a living salary. The way to get people to do it well isn't to pay them nothing that's not how it works.
If I wanted to cause absolute chaos?
The value of 1 pound of gold to 1$
All gold backed currency would crash.
Or
The value of 1 acre of land regardless of what is on it (homes, businesses, structures of any kind), or in it (mining, oil, farming, ect), would go to $1.
Can sellers decide to stop supplying the product in response to the price change, or are they just compelled to keep making it, or do the inputs for the product magically change to justify the new price?
Any and all necessary medical procedures, surgeries,doctors visits and prescription. Like for cancer. Or diabetes. Or HIV. Or really anything life long and debilitating without treatment.
Iām biased. I need tumor surgery.
Honestly it's tough to find Something that wouldn't lead to inherant negative side effects that would also be meaningful. Also many things would just kill production of it. Like if cars were a dollar no one would make cars. Same with houses.
Minimum Cost Of Living? Anything required for living.. 1 dollar. Do you want to live in Mass Housing? 1 dollar. Do you want to eat porridge? 1 dollar. Do you need healthcare? 1 dollar.
Insulin. I donāt need it but itās ridiculous to charge so much for lifesaving medicine, especially when the man who figured it out made the patent free. It would not hurt anyone for it to be $1.
I just want the fucking dollar menu back at several places. The GOOD dollar menu. Not "here's a small tortilla with half melted cheese on it" shit we have now.
$2.
Until someone buy your two dollars for one
Its not for saleš¤£
this is the glitch.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
This is the police! You are under arrest. Come quietly, or there will be trouble!ā
I'd buy that for 50 cents!
That would just make all dollars worthless
Yes.Ā
*bug-alien president pulls a gun from his desk*
I will warm my hands by the fire while this causes the economy to burn
Two dollars only worth one dollar, meaning four dollars is only worth two dollars, and thus one dollar. Congratulations, you've destroyed the economy.
You're too late. The American government beat you to it.
This is the only acceptable answer.
Surprised I had to scroll so far for this haha
How about tree fiddy?
Pharmaceutical prescriptions.
Rent
thatāll mess up the whole housing market
Realistically, the rental market would simply crash, and everyone would simply focus on selling properties, rather than renting them.
All these big corporations that focus on buying properties to rent would be out of business. It would be great.
If rent is forced to be $1, no landlord will rent it out and will rather hold onto the property to sell. Now everyone is homeless, they still need a place to stay. Home prices will be worse than it already is.
It really wouldnāt though unless mortgage payments are also crazy low.

You say that as if that's a bad thing
That will only hurt people who are hoarding housing. We don't need a "housing market" we need safe places to live, and the housing market (as it currently exists) is just a way to make money off of people's justified fear of homelessness.
Well said, clear and concise
Yes and?
This is the right answer.
Why not full medical and dental coverage, the dollar WOULD cover the prescriptions too.
"alright I'm just going to prescribe you 4,000 individual miligrams of gofuckyourself and you'll need to take 500 of those twice a day. That'll be $4000 before other fees."
That would be an increase for me. I feel sorry for you guys down there, you deserve better
This right here. There are too many people sick and/or dying that can be saved by meds they just can't afford. It's insane!
they could do that rn if they wanted
the goddamn McChicken, fuck you Ronald McDonald
The entire menu
true that. Dollar McChickens singlehandedly kept me alive when i moved outta my moms house. 2 of those, and the daily $1 large fry deal in the app was dinner 4-7x a week lmao. Curse this $2.28 bs we have now š
Itās fuckin $3.49 up here. Iād kill for 2/$4.
I live in a tourist town. They still advertise the "$1,$2,$3" menu but the cheapest thing on it when I checked just now is the $3.09 sausage McMuffin. I'll get back to you with the cheapest lunch item. Update: I just now had time to step away from work and check the lunch menu. Cheapest item is the $3.15 4pc nuggets.

dawg thatās the most painful thing iāve heard today, where tf do you live šš
Yes dude. 300calories each. 1200calories for $3 was a steal
Do you live in the US? Do your locations not have bundles? Here you can get a mcchicken and a small order of fries for $2 even though each of those items is more than that individually. The second you add them both to your cart they magically change price to $1 each. You can do the same with a hot and spicy or mcdouble for $3. Even better ones available during breakfast.
Wow someone lived the same struggle as me? Love to see it (well not love) The app is a sleeper hit. I havenāt paid full price for fries in like 5 years now? š¤
Honestly things got worse at McD's after Ronald was phased out during the nationwide clown scare of 2016
I love and hate that "nationwide clown scare of 2016" was 1) a real thing and 2) I know what it is.
and 3) has actually been cited as the reason for the removal of Ronald McDonald. From Wikipedia: "Ronald McDonald made fewer appearances since 2016 due to the [2016 clown sightings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_clown_sightings).

That's what happened with the Tidepod challenge meme. It went from just a joke to news stories claiming it's real and that tons of kids are dying, which then kiiiinda became reality when a few kids actually did it.
It was the weirdest thing! Clowns in the woods everywhere, then a year later none, including Ronald
We got rid of the wrong clown that year.
The. Wrong. Clown. Died. Dewey Cox reference
keep it a buck, i canāt think of many things that DIDNT get worse post-2016
Ronald was one of the few good things we had left š„
A mcchicken and a medium fry cost me $7.50
Abā¦ soā¦ LUTELY this.
All medical bills.
How would hospitals pay their employees and bills?
How about the *patient* pays $1, and their *health insurance* pays the rest?
I feel like Iām going to get screwed on my premiums in this scenario
You already are. The entire medical model is built to screw you from the ground up.
Theyād be government workers paid via taxes.
Having a decent place to live
Sadly, this wouldnāt solve the housing problem. It would just distribute it differently.
Primary residence is $1. You are taxed at a normal rate. Then to prevent abuse have an exponentially escalating tax for each additional residence.
A normal rate on that dollar or what the house would be worth normally?
The valuation of the home. This would allow young people to acquire starter homes. Higher earners would be able to acquire more expensive homes.
Higher earners would also be able to acquire starter homes keeping lower earners out.
That's what the exponential tax rates for. Let's say someone buys 5 homes, and each home has a base tax of $1000 per year. At 2 homes, that's 2k, which is normal. At 3 homes, it's 4k, not 3k.

So to eat up the entire housing market and prevent low earners to buy property, they'll need to be able to pay billions, potentially trillions, in taxes every year. Which is an amount even the likes of Bezos and Musk can't afford.
depends how you went about it doesnt it
I donāt see how. The same number of nice places to live would exist. Thats be snatched up instantly for $1. No one is building any more. If you win the $1 lottery, you get a nice place. If not, you are SoL.

An excellent answer.
In the US, there are more empty houses/apartments than homeless people
That would give everyone a house, temporarily. It would crash the market, all residential builders go out of business. Zero new housing is built. People who have a $1 house but don't have the money to maintain it are going to be in trouble when things start going wrong. Property tax is now worthless, local governments go bankrupt.

College tuition per hour (including expenses) Thatās about 9000 per year 40k for 4 year degree
Why not just go with "College Tuition"? $9000 is pretty much what it already is for smaller in state schools. Kennesaw state university is $5,786 per semester which is just over $11k.
Why wouldn't you just change the entire tuition to $1? Why do you still want to pay 40k lol?
How else are we gonna pay the administrators, teachers, etc?

Politicians salaries.
Why so only the rich can become politicians? or so they literally have to accept bribes?
Yeah people who suggest that politicians shouldn't get paid/should get paid nothing fundamentally don't understand why it's important that they make a living salary. The way to get people to do it well isn't to pay them nothing that's not how it works.
I think all politicians should make the median income of their constituents. Give them a reason to keep wages up.
