Why do those in charge get so upset about protesting?
Does it make them look bad? Yes.
Does it raise awareness about an issue they would rather stay quiet about? Yes.
Does it garner sympathy from like minded individuals and groups? Sure does!
Does it get in the way of their plans and cause a scene? You got it!
Does it generate news coverage, spreading the word of what's going on far and wide? Often.
Boy, all that sure sounds pretty ineffective to me! If they don't want you to do the perfectly legal thing, it's because it is effective against them.
I feel like I'm crazy as this was one of the people exposed as a Russian plant when Twitter briefly showed where you posted from. Why does anyone care what a foreign agent thinks about their country? The account is designed to destabilize the country and sow confusion. Bravo, it worked, and here everyone is still falling for the BS?! WTF!
Shocker! Rich person who can afford anything they want thinks the poors don't deserve a healthy life. Can't work the slave pits if I can't lift 5 lbs boss.
Lobster and crab was poor person food back in the day, then it switched for some reason? You figure it out?! Bottom dwelling scavenger bugs from the ocean are now en vogue?
America is not capitalist, it's an oligarchy that masquerades under capitalisms flag. Capitalism would ensure a healthy system for people to profit, an oligarchy steals from the lessers to pay the Lord.
Yeah? That happens everywhere. Did I not mention housing should not be used as a commodity? I forget. You threw renters under the bus in your comment I replied to, so I doubt you are a renter just eeking by? I calls em as I sees em. My heart was also in the right place.
What a fool you are. There will always be a renter class in this society we've all created. I merely pointed out that renters are not the problem here, and owning comes with a lot of it's own headaches. Yes, it is nice to own and builds equity, why doesn't my paying rent build anything? It doesn't even affect my credit score nor prove I am able to make a mortgage payment?! That is a real issue that should be identified and fixed, maybe it should eat into the equity a landlord builds on their property? Maybe that could stymie some of the speculation.
I also did specifically say that housing should not be treated like a commodity, but y'all go ahead and eat your own tail. I was paying the rent on a shared living space with 4 other people and the bank viewed that as a liability, not proof I can handle my finances. They cut off my credit card due to this potential liability hanging over me?!
Renters are allowed? Most of us can't afford to buy, so check your privilege. Yeah, they shouldn't use housing as a commodity, but renters need a place to live too, eh!
What's the point of having a world class child prostitution ring if you can't use it smooze with some politicians from time to time. They are all playing the same game, and we aren't in it.
Were the authors aware that everyone is broke this year and the "deals" to be had were previous mark-ups going down slightly? The game is rigged, we are all aware these "sales" are nothing more than a sales gimmick and very little of worth is available by an actual deal. No one is even trying to hide that fact anymore, and the populace is broke and fed up with all the stupid games we get forced to play
