It’s not an illegal bribe, if we legalise it and call it lobbying. *taps head

In the rest of the western world, landlords buy houses. They’re especially prolific for this in places with a high demand for housing, as this will maximise their profit extraction for the least amount of work. It’s a real problem, especially when the people denying mortgages to people are the same ones buying up the housing stock.

The same claim is made in the UK about the “real” problem being building regulations, as if forcing developers to build infrastructure like schools and roads (along with the houses they want to build) is a bad thing. Luckily though, the idea that the private sector could save us from themselves, at the expense of their own profit, is so silly that most people are informed enough to dismiss it instantly as nothing more than the corporate propaganda it is.

At some point, we have to start accepting the finite nature of land.

I would look at things like “supply and demand” to answer that question.

Imo, the reason trump went along with it is because mossad have trump’s kompromat.

This just in, ignorance is still bliss

The only other person here who understands MMT. Sorry for your downvotes. Just wanted to send some love, over the ignorance.

I have one simple trick for people who hate taxation but turn a blind eye to corporate profits. Instead of calling it “tax” call it “government profit” because, apparently, that’s all it takes to fool them.

I mean, we’ve barely started. I don’t think it’s time to think about when we should stop. But, if we have to, it’ll be when it’s finished.

They do have these programs but they barely scratch the surface or even contra the damage currently being done to the communities in question.

It’s not exactly easy but it’s not exactly impossible either. Of course, not you necessarily, someone could keep declaring it impossible to do no matter much the subject is researched.

For example, we can see that the communities effected by this have had far less investment than places that benefitted. The way to fix a severe lack of investment is through significant investment. There’ll be more, of course, but that’s an easy one right there.

Arming and radicalising traumatised people and setting them against people you don’t like is quite the American staple.

That’s how you deal with terrorists.

I’m told filming sims can sometimes fool it

That’s not what saying something like that would mean but I’m not going to laugh at someone who isn’t a native speaker for that. It’s a weird reply though.

My point is that you don’t have to use olive oil. I just said it in a silly way. It’s a prompt for the realisation of “oh yeah, I could use other oils. Other oils exist.” You don’t seem to have picked up on that and have chosen taken it personally, on behalf of olive oil. Theres no need. The oil doesn’t care.

Good luck with the olive oil fried rice though!

Sorry to burst your bubble but I’m not American. However, your assumption that my view must be American, specifically due to your intensely eurocentric view, is painfully ironic.

For some people making Indian, Mexican, Thai or Chinese food with olive oil isn’t tasty, as (believe it or not) olives don’t actually go with everything.

I mean, I listed more than just Italian but I guess that’s inconvenient for the point you’re attempting to make.

I am being free. It’s just im using my freedom not to make my food taste weird. People can use a neutral oil like vegetable oil for almost everything instead of, say, using olive oil in a curry or egg fried rice 🤮.

Maybe they’re not making Italian, Greek or Spanish food?

When the genocide happened. I thought that was obvious.

Yes it was, learn what communism is. You can’t just label things you don’t like as communism.

Don’t just declare it to be different, grow a spine and demonstrate the difference as you were asked or do one.
