I voted against the orange felon. I don't expect sympathy, but I also expect to be treated like any other tourist. Really naive to believe that every American is an orange cunt supporter when not even half even came out to vote and only slightly more of those voted orange. Most of his base has never been outside of their state.

There's plenty of believers. None of them are acting in a meaningful way.

They are not capable of a coup imnho.

Edit: Oh, you meant democrats are never going to get power after recent republical coup - seems likely.

Nothing will happen. Democrats are completely spineless and will bend over like they have in the past.

You're technically not supposed to invite people you don't know because you're responsible for your invitees to some degree.

You can turn it off in every car I've ever used. I guess making it default is questionable, but modern cars make it painfully difficult to lock yourself out so it makes sense imnho.

Jules Verne would drown in t-shirts if you could really claim inventing something from sci-fi writing.

I'm still hopeful...

Pretty much everything you claim is completely baseless. My property is an investment I plan to pass to my children. I don't need it now and in fact lose a little money on it every year because I offer it at a fair price.

I also invest in management companies but I unlike you I admit they are fucking cancer and unlike me, exist solely to squeeze every last cent from people forced to rent. You hide behind stocks like casinos hide real money behind chips.

You continue to be delusional because you refuse to admit that huge companies that own a ton of land are the reason rental prices are so high and living conditions are so poor.

You also try to hide behind cooperatives. Name a few that offer real help in large cities where people can actually find work.

Those are not solutions. Those are delusions. I'm sure there are philanthropists giving shit away. I'm not in a financial position to do that and neither are most people. This is where you continue to be disconnected from reality.

If a proposition shows up on the ballot that will direct my taxes towards affordable housing and doesn't look like an obvious scam - I promise you my vote.

Linking ancient British law to hide your non existent arguments was a nice touch. I used to see this tactic a lot on ml servers before I blocked them.

If you want to continue this discussion because you believe you can infect someone else with your delirium, please feel free, but I hope you understand you won't change the mind of anyone that has the unfortunate inconvenience of living in a real world.

Not at all. The only point I'm trying to make is there's a vast difference between companies that own a lot of properties for rent and individuals who own one. Like differences between banks and credit unions. One does bare minimum required to squeeze maximum amount of money from customers, another provides a fantastic service while still making a profit.

The reality you're disconnected from is the fact that we live in a capitalist society and not in a non-existent utopia where all resources are shared equally. By your logic family owned stores and restaurants are also enslaving people because we all need to eat. It makes no sense.

It wasn't a great answer. It was incredibly banal and doesn't take reality into consideration. This idiotic logic can be applied to anything. It doesn't make any more sense just because you repeat it.

We live in a capitalist country. We're all slaves by this primitive thinking. You can shift the blame endlessly.

A properly maintained rental that is fairly priced is not unfair to anyone.
