    Have you heard of supply and demand?

    This is where your entitlement kicks in. You think that you should magically get access to high-value, low-supply properties before the people living in the areas you deem “not good enough” for you. You already have more than the people living in these areas, yet you think you deserve even more before them.

    Greed. Entitlement. Consumerism. Name three bigger pillars of the modern liberal. (and don’t say empathy, you people care more about your money and social status than actually helping others.)

    And you’re going to get mad at anyone who calls it out.

    Because there is nothing immoral or unethical about having multiple rental property.

    Wrong. Nobody should have extra houses to “rent out” while hardworking citizens can’t afford a single house of their own.

    The reason why we don’t have enough is because they have too much.

    Stop being a useful idiot. It’s falling out of fashion.



  • Even if there’s more income it’s impossible for young people to save and I hate it.

    That’s the point. It’s why I always laugh whenever someone says “they’re a business and they need to make money!”

    It’s like, that money is just going to the landlords of their employees more often than not. We can hopefully see how that rhetoric is a roundabout way of defending the profits of people taking advantage of us.

    The working class has really sold itself out.


  • Any reason why we can’t just change the tax code to make this thing less viable

    Culture. Too many people think those who have more deserve more and those who have less deserve less.

    It’s the same idea that made slavery so accepted in the South. Most Southern whites did not own slaves; they could not afford it. They still supported slavery because they supported the idea of owning slaves, that maybe one day they could get a slave of their own.

    Same goes for why we have so many dirt-poor paycheck-to-paycheck useful idiots going to bat for their oppressors; they’re hoping that one day they can be the oppressors. Oh, and they don’t want to admit they’re being taken for a ride.

    Until this culture changes, we shouldn’t expect things to get any better.



  • Renting is a scam.

    It’s a shame so many of us have been convinced to fall for it.

    I’m glad I got out years ago, but the housing market is abysmal too.

    The problem is that too few people have too much and the rest of us have to do without enough. We need to unite against the ruling class and redistribute their wealth if we want our situations to improve. It’s literally the only way.

    They will kick. They will scream. That means it’s working.

    If they are happy, it means we’re getting f**ked.

    Not necessarily true. There are powerful cultural forces at play that they’re not willing to acknowledge, yet alone overcome.

    We’re kind of in the same boat. We think that if we have more, then we deserve more before those who have less. That’s just what these people are doing, only they’re doing it way better than us.
