You can't afford to buy. If not for landlords who would you rent from? Where would you live?
The idea that if there were no landlords you'd be able to afford a house is absurd.
I agree corporations should be limited in how many single.family homes they are allowed to buy but this whole "all landlords are scum ". Schtick makes u look pathetic and ignorant of the facts.
We don't need Capitalism any longer. We can do better.
I don't disagree but what we need is stability. So far capitalism has given the US that. If you're proposing a different system fine just make sure that while we move to it the perceived wealth of the country doesn't take a hit and after it is implemented do the same.
I don't think it is possible from here. What we really need is loads more regulation and Corp criminals going to prison to start.
The US was never stable, and I don't agree either that Capitalism is.
What is your definition of stable? What has been moreso?
Largest gdp and arguably most stable economy of scale on the planet what are you talking about?
See this is what I'm talking about. Just devoid of reality
Coal Wars, Conscription, Red scare, Segregation, Civil Rights Oppression, Violence, Drug War, international chaos and war.
What are you talking about?
Do we not have a stable economy? Are u kidding rn? Name one that is doing better.
Fewer people starve, are homeless and suffer unjustifiable working conditions in particularly Western Europe than in the USA.
That doesn't mean the us economy isn't stable.
The part of it that matters
