Julio Cruz posted:sure but the amount of light it can, er, "collect" is still a function of the surface area of the lens (even disregarding variables like how much shadow there is nearby and how clean the lens is kept) I was once in a meeting room with a stupid light tunnel, we were about 15ft lower than the roof and the meeting degenerated into farce when we tried to use a projector but couldn't work out how to turn off the remaining bright light. It was a slightly cloudy day but one where the clouds are still bright, tbh one of the better meetings I've attended.

Therefore you either are one, or you're stupid beyond comprehension. Assuming you're a landlord is giving you the intellectual, if not moral, benefit of the doubt.

I, too, would like to be able to purchase a house by putting it through the self-checkout as a loaf of bread. And living in dreamland would be scary, never know when you might get hoovered up by a rogue Kirby!

Last time you bought a tin of beans from Asda did you have to return it after a year and also pay for it to be cleaned? How about school, did you pay for your education? How much did the last road you drove on cost you? Doctors get paid a lot, bet your last GP visit was expensive. You're a loving idiot.

Getting things for free is stupid. Like getting the product of other people's labor just because you inherited some land that originally was stolen from the Commons.

You don't get the house for free. You pay taxes and the government then uses them to pay people to build the houses. Also private land ownership should be abolished and use of land decided by local authorities rather than whoever has the most money.

He got so close in the last thread when he said thisquote:Okay, you're saying that because it's a necessity - like healthcare - housing should be a public good? I get where y'all are coming from there, it's not a position I agree with entirely, but I get the principle. But then it all went wrong when the next thing he posted was the rape thing

Okay, so you pay the bank. Who does the bank pay, do you think that they do or do not make a profit on this? In which case are you not being exploited? Just because you don't feel exploited doesn't necessarily mean you aren't.

It has always historically been the UK Megathread but, much like HMV, UKMT no longer stands for anything. UKMT is UKMT.

The bank pays savers, employees, investors, producers, suppliers, and a whole bunch of other people. All those people need to get paid to pay for stuff they need and want. Some of those people put their time on the line. Some put up their wealth and risk taking a hit.

What do you think socialism means? How did you come to the UK Marxism thread and start talking about Asda? I was curious too. I decided to pick through their post history to get some clues and came across this absolute twist: quote:As a Brit, I've been following this AOC chick on Twitter for a while because she seems like she's down with guillotines, and we're desperately in need of that here in the UK. It's refreshing. How important a mover is she really though? And that's about the only clue so who the gently caress knows what's going on in this one's head

I get that you don't want to ask yourself these questions, because it forces you to face up to the reality of the unfairness. But this thread is not the place to reinforce the mental feedback loop you're using to stop yourself getting angry about it.

What do you think socialism means? How did you come to the UK Marxism thread and start talking about Asda? Politics is improving people's lives in a sustainable manner I would say. That can be done through a highly progressive taxation system. What I'm seeing here is fantasies. People are angry right now, I get that, but retreating into fantasy is not the path out of this.

Bobby Deluxe posted:But should you? Is it right that (I'm going to guess) over half of your pay goes toward a house you will never own? Why is it set at that amount? How much of that goes back into things that benefit you as the tenant, and how much of that is pure profit for the landlord? In a cosmic sense it's all unfair. But there are too many vested interests to do what many here are proposing without an awful lot of violence. To avoid violence you need pretty much everyone with you. You need angels in the place of men. That is highly unlikely to ever be the case.
