| Topic | What's your family like politically? |
| averagejoel 06/20/18 12:11:45 AM #20 | most of my mom's side of the family is on the conservative side. bunch of rich people in Saskatchewan. my mom is... probably a demsoc on my dad's side, it's mostly socdems who are ripe for radicalization. my dad is definitely a socialist. not sure which flavour he favours though. I'm a socialist. one sister is studying soc and related stuff at university. I think she's a socialist, though I don't think she's read much explicitly socialist theory. might be a demsoc or a socdem. not sure where the other sister falls politically, though she seemed receptive when I gave her a simplified version of some socialist theory. --- peanut butter and dick |

| Topic | My gripe with gentrification is that it hinges upon displacement before and |
| averagejoel 06/17/18 8:22:03 PM #47 | Sativa_Rose posted... Well at this point you are denying the fundamental supply and demand problem. supply and demand is reductive and ignores the existence of things like artificial scarcity (for example, in this context, a landlord intentionally keeping apartments vacant to increase the value of their other apartments) You also are not recognizing that in a competitive market, landlords will have to compete with each other. I understand that perfectly well, though that isn't really relevant to the problem: landlords, in general, have too much power. rent control is one way of fixing this and making it more fair for tenants. Maybe FLUFFY is right. I have fluffy on ignore and I don't particularly care about anything that he has to say. --- peanut butter and dick |

| Topic | Benefits of using the Imperial measurement system? |
| averagejoel 06/17/18 7:17:35 PM #33 | ZMythos posted... Base 12 for measurement has a lot of use in construction and manufacturing. imperial isn't base 12 (1 yard is not 12 feet; 1 mile is not 12 or 144 yards, etc.) it's irregular. time is not base 60 either (1 day is not 60 hours, etc). it's also irregular --- peanut butter and dick |

| averagejoel 06/17/18 7:12:38 PM #28 | Sativa_Rose posted... averagejoel posted...Sativa_Rose posted...Rent control destroys cities. It makes it so that new supply cannot be constructed to match new demand. If you are one of the lucky few with rent control you're good, but there will inevitably be a huge shortage of rent controlled units if the rent prices are held below what otherwise would be market rate (look up how price ceilings behave in economics). The remaining non-rent controlled units are then pushed to very high rents, as you have loads of people competing to get these apartments and bidding against each other. Why do you have loads of people? Because rent control policies have thwarted new construction. 1. you were the one making a claim. point out places with rent control where no new buildings have been built. don't forget to explain why it was specifically rent control and not some other factor that caused 0 new buildings to be built. 2. buildings can be built for reasons other than turning a profit, and it's also possible to re-purpose old buildings rather than tearing them down --- peanut butter and dick |
