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.

“How dare you say that I’d convert to islam”

Trump 2026.

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’m told filming sims can sometimes fool it

One of the most Christian things I’ve heard from a pope in quite a long time

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?

What do you mean you don’t want to raise the next generation of wage slaves? How will my children buy their second yachts?

Lol that wild. Thanks for letting me know.

I mean, if you cast your mind back to the story, God had no idea that they had done it, until he saw them. This was yahweeh before he was later made into the omnificent version. He fully intended to keep them there, as is.

As we also all know from science, the more different variables we add, the less likely that will be. Even just a few, let alone the billions of tiny changes it would be if it happened even a day later. It would like the butterfly effect but infinitely greater.

And it’s not like we aren’t all going to replace “redacted” with Trump, in every instance it would fit anyway.

Make sure you clutch those pearls real hard as you fall down off that high horse. You wouldn’t want brutes like me hurting your delicate sensibilities, hey princess 🤣

You’ve just had to pivot to my apparent attitude because you can’t engage on what the subject it about and you can’t admit that. If it were, you would only ask a change in attitude and not refuse to engage further on the subject, as you have. If you read it in an angry voice, it will always sound angry.

You’re not fooling anyone and climbing up on your high horse about it is just silly.

I mean, you’re being incredibly patronising while claiming my attitude is terrible. That says it all really. The irony is off the scale.

I said eve because she is the one who ate it. It doesn’t matter if it was Adam or eve, only that it was eaten.

There was only one rule in the story. So, no, there was nothing else for which they could be banished.

Honestly, if you really need to die on the hill that completely different things could result in the exact same outcome, despite the literal deviations, then be my guest.
