If you can show me one Nazi on sub stack, I’d be thrilled. I mean an actual Nazi, who promotes whites supremacy, and who wants collusion between the corporations and the government.

Klonopin as needed.

Renting a home out is not productive. It’s financial capitalism. Is rentier capitalism. There’s no product being made.

All of them.

Everyone who runs the World Economic Forum .

I can’t blame myself. I am doing everything possible. I used to be able to afford a rental. I did nothing different. So where is the blame?

Shame used to work wonders to get people to change their behavior. It’s still does. That’s the thing about morals, included with it is shame.

You would have to read Proudhoun an Anarchism to understand what is meant by the saying.

By "property", Proudhon referred to a concept regarding land property that originated in Roman law: the sovereign right of property, the right of the proprietor to do with his property as he pleases, "to use and [to] abuse," so long as in the end he submits to state-sanctioned title. Proudhon contrasts the supposed right of property with the rights (which he considered valid) of liberty, equality, and security. Proudhon was clear that his opposition to property did not extend to exclusive possession of labor-made wealth.

I’m not useless at labeling people, greedy, I’m usefully, labeling, greedy, and I agree, we are exploiting most of the world because of our greed. We should all come to face that, and not only our live will be better, but the whole world lives will be better. And it would probably stop climate change as well. This is a regular problem that we can change with first our behavior as living by an example. This is why I don’t feel so bad, being homeless and living with less.

I hate to say it, but there was homelessness in the 80s and it is only eclipse by our current state of homelessness.

It amazes me how people pick and choose when they want us to be “dumb animals“. And it amazes me that someone on hacker news would say this. Even dumb animals are more communal and fair than modern humans are.

For sure it’s not the only reason, but it’s a reason I can’t afford to rent anywhere since Covid for sure.

By the way, I’m homeless because I have a serious mental illness. Not all of us are equipped to jump back in the workforce.

I can assure you my morality is 100% legitimate.

I believe for instance that property is theft, as Prodhoun proclaimed.

The fact that we see housing as an investment is part, no, probably most of the problem.

I found a less extreme definition:

intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.

This is that heart to what the problem is. Instead of letting the housing market, collapse and state collapsed the federal reserve started printing money nonstop to inflate assets, including housing. And they haven’t stopped since then. This is what causes separation of wealth in the United States, and the increase in homelessness.

And now the Fed can’t even get the guts to lower inflation by raising interest rates because of what it’s done to the housing market.

Oh, yes. Nothing frustrates me more than seeing all these “luxury apartments“ being built everywhere. I never gave a crap about luxury. I just would like a stable, clean place to live. I even love studios more than a one bedroom apartment. But now even the studios are all “luxury“.

As I said, at other times in this thread, the only incentive we have as an and an economy in the United States, is agreed.

As I said, at other times in this thread, the only incentive we have in this economy and in the United States, is greed.

I would not be homeless if my sister let me live in her second house. That’s how I know.

I’m the OP, and I definitely understand. Maybe that would be a good idea, once someone goes to apply for a mortgage there has to be a homeless family in the office right next to them.

Knowledge != Wisdom

Exactly, and what’s the occupancy rate for those Airbnb? 80%, 50% 20%? I knew one family that could make more an Airbnb in a week than they could renting it for two months.

We are incentivized by our greed nothing else.

If you have more than you need while others are suffering it’s greed. You can’t change the definition of greed just because it makes you uncomfortable.

What if we made it a law that no one could own a second home before everyone owned a first home?

Yes, this is exactly my point. The fundamental issue is greed, not housing. If we don’t get rid of the greed, these houses will be either bought up by investment corporations or the wealthy people that didn’t get second houses the first time around.

If there’s four slices of pizza in front of you and there’s a person sitting across from you, you’d be incentivized to take all four of the slices. Doing so would be greedy. Not being greedy is making sure the other person gets what they need before you take the rest.

I can surely blame people for taking what’s in front of them when people who are also in front of them have nothing.

I’m going to proclaim that there is not a housing shortage. But the problem is in fact, too many individuals owning too many houses.

It’s not that we don’t have enough housing, the issue is that we have people that want too many houses for themselves. It’s just greed. I can’t even count on my hands How many people I know that own more than one house and I am homeless. So I’m sure wealthy people pretty much don’t know anyone that doesn’t own a single house.

There are two cars in my life that I liked more than any other car. The first was my 1965 Corvair and the second was my 1998 Kia Sephia.

Today’s car drive you, you don’t drive the car. I sat in a Tesla and felt I was in a future that I didn’t want to be in. Everything physical abstracted away into a smooth curve or a flat screen. we have let middlemen come between us in reality and we’re going to pay for it whether it’s in more expensive repairs or dislocation from nature.

This corporate infestation of the Fed verse is not going to end well.

It’s the exact opposite of what the Democrats stand for either. I mean they talk like they stand for it but when they’re in power, they do nothing.

Anyone, I don’t care if it’s Republicans or Democrats. Of course the Democrats are supposed to be the ones who would do this, but they don’t. Obama gave us a head fake of a public option that never happened. Instead what we got is force payments to private health insurance companies.

I’d rather suggest a third-party. Look what happened to Bernie Sanders when he tried to push it to the left. Both the Democrats and Republicans are beholden to corporate interest. I’m in no way going to vote for the Republican but I’m not going to vote for the Democrat either. If they want my vote, they have to earn my vote.

You’re perfect is the enemy of all the good they’re doing.
