Rent is like 50% of my income currently and I’m trapped because nowhere charges less for the same space and I don’t qualify for rentals without a guarantor that I no longer have. At this age, my parents were in their 3rd house on a single income with 3 kids.
The wealthy do what the wealthy do, voters in their millions enable them.
Up to now you have believed in the existence of tyrants. Well, you were mistaken. There are only slaves. Where none obeys, none commands. – Anselme Bellagarrigue
Don’t insult people over their nature. Money corrupts, especially over many generations. They just play a rigged game and have the edge to win. Time for some regulations. Social capitalism is the answer, fair taxes even on rich people. Prevent wealth hoarding over a certain point. Stop insulting people and get to three voting booth. Start telling real people to change their vote.
Punishment has to be about protection for the people and about rehabilitation of the individual. Don’t forget the pedophile has no choice in his proclivities. So getting him to make healthy safe choices is the goal and protecting children from him. Not killing him, but storing him safely is not about his wellbeing but about keeping the rest of society acting humanely. People here talk about basic income all the time. Not being humane is a slippery slope for society, and the cost of not entering it is very much worth it.
I wasn’t actually talking about child rape there. Capitalists will rape us and anyone who suggest we just need to regulate the conditions of the rape is fucking insane.
Spare us the civility horseshit. Their nature? The level of organized greed and cruelty that is being inflicted on the world is NOT natural. It is abnormal and it is evil. The “edge to win” means they had a rich white mommy and daddy who also had a rich white mommy and daddy.
And “some regulations” and “fair tax” aren’t going to fix shit. Social capitalism? What the holy fuck is that? The winning entry in an oxymoron contest? Fuck off liberal.
Acting humane is about keeping society off a slippery slope not about the billionaires. Keeping people in check is a States prerogative, acting humanely should be a societies first priority.
Being a raging lunatic killing everything and everyone you disagree with sounds a lot like the nazis but left leaning. ;)
Same and I live in what would be considered a rural state. We don’t have any big cities and a studio apartment would cost me about $1500 a month about 50 miles outside our biggest city and $1800+ within 50 miles of Portland Maine which is our biggest city. This shit is out of control. Our wages are more in line with a rural state, but our rent prices are near what you’d expect in a bigger city.
that’s because your real estate is bought up by people like me with 150K salaries who think your 1800 rent is dirt cheap. In Boston a studio is over 3K now.
i know people who moved to Maine to find cheaper housing because none is available in Boston area. and the people who live in Boston fight any/all development to expand the housing supply, including renters. like i have friends who rent, who pay 3K a month, and then go to town meetings to fight new housing developments, and then complain went there rent goes up another 10%
Exactly, I make a fraction of what you make and I could never afford to buy a house anywhere. Back when I first started renting 16 years ago, my friend and I rented a 2 bedroom place for $450 a month and now a studio is 4 times that in rural states.
The owner of the place I currently rent has surprised us with a Christmas notice that she’s selling the place and we have to leave by April. We can’t afford anywhere near here so we’ll have to move very far north and our commutes will at least double. Maybe triple. Locals are getting forced out of places they’ve lived their whole lives. This shit is fucked up. People are too damn greedy and selfish.

The wealthy really fucked us over, hey. They’re scum for what they did.
They are also scum for what they are doing.
They’re scum for what they are currently still doing, and must be stopped.
1000%. Preach it!

An child rapist is also just dealing with their nature.
Putting them in a wood chipper is fair to them, we just need to regulate which children they are allowed to rape.
