the people who absolutely have to go on trips right loving now do it because they aren't alive unless someone else is entertaining, feeding or cleaning up after them

and he threw a tantrum over a painless, one-second temperature check because he couldn't handle the idea of a lowly amusement park employee having the power to take that away from him

he spent 15 grand at disney world so he could be in control and do whatever he wanted

psycho economists really do want working people to rent as much as possible, as it means they’re more mobile in the job market and will move to high demand areas for work which will help capital and depress wages

Who the fuckity gently caress talks about doing home repair and maintenance in this kind of language? "every time I need to actually do the job of property manager"

If Yglesias isn't a landlord, he so desperately wants to be one. He is just oooooooozing with that aspiration.

My current landlord for the past 5 years has claimed a homestead exemption for this property and has made an estimated $70k in profit based on my rent minus property taxes, insurance, one replaced appliance and a few handyman calls made and probably 2 hours total spent responding to emails and making calls. She was gifted this property by her parents when she went to college and has been renting it out for 16 years. This property has doubled in value since I moved in.

TLDR: :guillotine:

yeah I feel like a lot of people generally agree with Mao re: the landlord class but can't bring themselves to actually say as much because of how deep western propaganda and racism has settled in their malleable brains

worst case (all landlords dead, state in total control) scenario, you are paying rent to an entity that is spending it on local infrastructure. Best case scenario now, you are giving 25%+ of your total take home pay to someone who will shift it to a tax haven and use it to further assault you

i assume that when matty y visualizes this future, he is both part of 20% living outside of the corporate owned hellscape, but also heavily invested in those 7 companies so he can extract rents w/o the effort.

I assume she doesn't live there herself? Then presumably it's not a homestead, can you report her to the state or anything like that?

Nah he's just aware that home maintenance is a skillset he doesn't have (understandable) but assumes that an oligopoly of housing will use the market making power that gives them to ensure the properties are maintained to a livable standard according to the renters wishes rather than absolutely rinsing their captive market of renters of all their money because that's where they make their money.
