The research goes to point out that lower wages workers are less likely to have the ability to work remotely because they disproportionately work in restaurants, bars, hotels and retail jobs where remote work is not possible.

This point is what often gets me turnt when people start fetishizing reducing the work week across the board, and especially so when they just straight up handwave the loss of income as a non-problem.

It became a part of Southern culture because Southern elites arent and werent the same kind of people as your typical Southerner.

Take that fact and let it stew for a couple hundred years and now its just a part of Southern culture in general.

Its still very much a niche thing, but these kinds of things arent strictly the practice of rich elites.

There's an entire industry built around managing people's property for them.

So what youre saying is that the people who are customers of this industry dont actually do anything to maanage their property other than provide the funding for someone else to do it?

Huh funny that sounds like being a parasite with extra steps.

To say being a landlord requires no time or labor is braindead levels of stupid.

You just said so yourself chief. And even disregarding your nonsense, you're not actually providing any support to your claims.

Youre just saying landlords do "stuff" and insisting on it with no further explanation or argumentative support. Ive explained my position more than once, time to step off the soap box and actually participate in the discussion or stfu buddy.v

It is if they built it. And if they didn't build it they paid the person who did.

The former isnt even worth addressing with how stupid a reply it is, and the latter isnt a product nor a service. The landlord is using the labor of another person (or multiple people) to pay for something none of those people, who actually generated the funds to pay off that loan, get to keep.

Which is another thing youre fundamentally not understanding about the problem. Labor has value, getting a loan and paying a contractor in turn to build a house or complex is not labor.

The only thing a landlord has that, at the end of the mortgage, the rentees did not, is the necessary socio-economic status to get a large loan, and as thats literally just made up nonsense and not actually tangible, it is also neither a product nor a service.

Solid Snake07 posted...

It's congruent to anything. If I want a good or service I buy it from someone who's willing to offer it to me for a price.

Doesn't matter if it's a place to live or groceries.

Ive said it already, but again, if you dont understand or operate on the premise of housing as human right, you are fundamentally not understanding the problem.

Things like healthcare, education, housing, and even basic sustenance should not be run as a business because theyre necessary to life.

Going out to a restarant, even a crappy one, is a luxury. Not the same.

such as upkeep, or providing a temporary living space for those who may not want to settle down in one place?

The former isnt applicable unless the landlord is doing that at no true cost to the tenant, which in most cases, they are not. If your plumbing breaks and the landlord pays somebody to fix it, what they paid that person comes out of money you and the rest of the tenants paid in extraneous rent, ie, operating expenses.

And the latter? Thats not something thats commonly sought out by most people looking to rent, and moreover, isnt something that disappears without landlords.

Arguably a person can afford multiple mortgages if they've got the initial capital and the time to put together leasing agreements with tenants (or they are willing to work with property management companies).

Go back and read what you originally proposed. If the bank "is coming after them", they cant afford their mortgage.

Hexenherz posted...

Also why would a person need to take out multiple mortgages to begin with?

Not everyone can just straight up buy multiple homes in cash. Unless youre extremely rich, you got a second house because you got a second loan to pay for it.

Hexenherz posted...

If I have to move because the military tells me to, I'm 100% renting my house out with the expectation that I will be able to move back into it in three years. That doesn't mean I'm taking out a second mortgage, but I definitely don't want to sell a house I've already lived in for five years.

Thats not even remotely congruent to the landlords in question, especially considering you in that specific situation the expectation would be made clear to the rentee that the house will not be their permanent residence, and is only available until you can live there.

Most landlords that we call parasites do not operate on that basis, as your house is not being rented as part of a business.

Why should the person who put their name on the loan from the bank have to foot the bill to give free housing to someone and then risk destroying their own credit and losing their own livelihoods when the banks come after them?

If you cant afford multiple mortgages you shouldnt be taking them out.

Glorified roommates arent landlords, and even if we defined them that way, theyre still definitely not landlords to the same degree that somebody with multiple homes or complexes is.

LMFAO, this dude literally believes having a job, not being balls deep in debt from buying shit you dont need, and utilizing loans available to literally anybody is "privelege".

WOW.

1. Yes, that is privilege. Your inability (either deliberate or otherwise) to recognize that doesnt change it.

And im sure some dumbshit vapid liberals gaslit you into thinking that being called privileged is an insult, but it isnt. I had a privileged upbringing and in a lot of ways, despite being homeless, still am, especially in comparison to others in my situation. That doesnt diminish what Ive accomplished or struggled with in my life.

2. The vast majority of my debt is medical, for one, with the other half being a verizon bill I refuse to pay on princible as they sold me a broken phone and tried, the same day I bought it, to make me buy it again to get it fixed. But that debt doesnt hold back my credit score to the degree my medical debt does, nor my lack of access to revolving credit.

You have a critical lack of understanding of the debt situation in the US if you think its centered around luxury goods bought on credit.

PoundGarden posted...

I've struggled plenty to get where I am, with nobody's help.

Again, because your privileged. You're not special because you had the necessary circumstances in life to do what youve done. Thats like bragging about climbing Everest when you just paid the couple hundred bucks to stand in line all the way up with everybody else. It isnt easy, but you didnt tame some wild mountaintop never touched by man. Thousands if not millions have been there, but billions more will never get the chance.

I shouldnt be approaching 30 and preparing for life as a climate refugee.

The thing about upkeep is that the money for it has to come from somewhere. Many if not most landlords, especially for places like elaborate apartment complexes, generate that income by charging more in rent money than it costs to paydown the loans that bought/built the complex.

Even most individual homeowners renting out single rooms are likely to do this (though not all; i also wouldnt call somebody who lives in the house with me a landlord to be frank, thats a glorified roommate).

And thats where a lot of the parasitism comes from, because most of these landlords arent going to just sit on that money. Whatever they dont put back into the complex is profit that theyll take home, and theyll up the rent even more to generate that money.

Rents are high everywhere for a reason, and it isnt just because of inflation.

(Should also be noted that housing as human right is critical to the discussion as well; if youre not operating on that premise youre fundamentally not going to understand the problem)

this shit must become moddable.

the Alt right / Q launder their bullshit ideas into the mainstream by making people parrot their next big lie.

one of their newer attempts is to say America was never a democracy, it a republic. Both are not opposite to each other, and America is both.

theyre trying to launder this dumb idea because the GOP wants to get rid of the Democratic system, since demographics arent on their side

I know youre probably new to caring about politics kiddo but people across the spectrum have recognized that the US is not a democracy for years, decades in fact.

And it isnt a republic either for that matter. Its a supposed to be a democratic republic (which is not the same as being "both" btw), but in practice is more of a soft oligarchy.

Moreover, it has to be stressed that this in the context of the federal government; state and local governments often are truly democratic and representative democratic ones, but those governments arent relevant when discussing the governing of the country as a single entity, ie, the federal perspective.

And even disregading all the semantic issues, the fact remains that whatever the US is, at a federal level it is highly dysfunctional (and arguably non-functional, given that the Senate just outright failed to hold Trump accountable for treason) and it is not just the result of mask-off Republicans. What the last four years exposed about the federal are things that have been there well before Trump ever came down the elevator.

A) There's cases of robbers seeing an owner with a gun and firing leading to injury/death that might not have happened if there hadn't been a gun in most rooms.

It also wouldnt have happened if the robber wasnt, you know, robbing the house.

Youre being highly disingenous about what actually lead to a shooting in that scenario.

Ruvan22 posted...

B) I'd like you to prove it through statistics or even one study (like I asked in my first post)

The point is moot as it was always a bad argument. Guns arent there to make you safer, they're there to help you defend yourself. Youre literally not safe if youre having you defend yourself in the first place regardless of what weapon or object you have.

But if someone comes at you with a gun and you have a knife, it doesnt take an academic study to understand the odds are evened out if you also have a gun.

But the fact remains, if self defense is necessary, you are inherently unsafe, but that in turn does not diminish the need and/or want for a gun in such a situation.

The right to self defend is a human right, and unless you can objectively suggest that no potential attacker will have a gun (ie, impossible, especially in the US even with draconian gun bans and seizures), you are infringing on an individuals right by denying them the most commonly used weapon of our day.
