The fuck is wrong with you? If you have an opinion about war, write your senator. Being disrespectful to a person that served and otherwise did nothing wrong is disgraceful.

That's actually the decoy snail

Word, thank you, and anybody else that commented on my stoned Wondering. I agree in concept but it's always difficult to imagine in practice because we've all just lived with this

That sounds great, devil's advocate want to know how we do get projects.

I'm baked and deleted a paragraph because it turned to rambling.

I don't like corporations owning housing.

How does no private property square with something like a car, that costs money to produce, has less inherent value than a home, and depreciates in value unlike a home?

I think I understand, but it gets murky for me after a point. Not trying to argue, just learn.

Or even honestly, the middle aged couple that was able to upgrade houses without selling, and lets their old house to a young couple for a reasonable rate because it's paid off. Which, in my rural experience, is really common. I am very grateful to a man that I didn't and still don't particularly like, because he rented me a nice property for a very fair rate. I could say similar things about other past landlords. The difference is when it's not an investment, but a business. Treating housing like a business interaction cheapens human life, and I have lived in that situation as well, to varying degrees. The worst was an apartment in Park City UT that was owned by some yuppies in Massachusetts, part of some sheisty lease/timeshare property LLC, where the building super was just a power tripping asshole with no accountability. I'm rambling, but Landlord Bad is too simple for a complex situation.

Like, what are the other options? Homes seem mandatory for societal and economic interaction.

But that's my point. I'm not advocating genocide, I'm just disagreeing with the extremism of your opinion, and you don't like it and are projecting extremism on me.

The world isn't black and white, and the sooner that gets through your thick skull, the sooner you can start having mature conversations about nuanced topics. Until then, you should let the adults talk.

 

Am I missing something? Yesterday there was a visible vote count next to each comments username. Today there is nothing. Maybe a setting I accidentally changed? I can't for the life of me figure it out.
