Easiest thing in the world is spending money you don't have and resources you don't own.

I just put in 60 hours and $200 of my own personal money this week helping and supporting abused women with mental illness. Go on about my lack of empathy though.

Have you actually done anything this week to make a difference, or did you just sit around jerking yourself off over the hypothetical good you could in theory do?

fuck no.
i used to work in a camping site, not at the time, but i heard them talk about it afterwards

in the off season, they housed a load of migrants in the cabins, and by the amount of complaining they did after about the renovations, decontamination and replacing of either broken or stolen furniture they had to do afterwards, it was not great.

and for some reason, there was a bunch of bald spots in the grass right next to the cabins that had not been there before

Just donate then. You don't need a literal extra bed to make an impact. Sounds like you just want to cry about people that have more than you.

Rich elites and politicians won't do it, those who objectively have the most connections and resources at their disposal.

Why should the rest of us who don't have those privileges...?
That would be backwards.

I have no issues with the concept of landlording on an individual basis, but the idea of it being able to be done by mega companies on the level of thousands of properties and being able to essentially price out competitors and set their own rules is inherently fucked up.

People having investment properties to rent out is one thing, but to turn it into an industry makes it a mess and hurts far more than it helps

We actually do have an extra room.

And no if I had my own place I would want it to be my place and no one else's. Same reason I'd not foster a kid really. I don't think migrants should have to live with hosts. But every time the issue of housing people comes up there's complaints that migrants are being given housing and money. It seems a more sensible solution than making people shack up together.

If I had a second property and enough income to make it irrelevant I might let someone live there I guess. If I inherit any property from my dad I will let people live in the two condos for the cost of upkeep, but idk if there would be migrants there.

Have you ever noticed that the people (not tc) saying stuff like why wouldnt you house these migrants? Why arent the Marthas Vineyard rich people giving them their houses? Are the same people making creepy jokes like I can help by letting one 22 year old female Ukrainian refugee live with me ?

I wonder what the key difference between group a and group b?

No no, he's right

I've lived on both sides of the equation.

When you have no money, you want handouts

When you have lots of money, you want to hold onto it and get more

It's a natural progression that probably only makes you normal when transitioning
