  • That’s not an individual country’s decision to take.

    What isn’t? How to tax it’s citizens? Pretty sure individual countries are the only ones making that decision.

    People look for housing and landlords provide a valuable service to society

    Almost, people need housing and landlords can exploit that need. Renters provide a valuable service to landlords. How about this analogy: people need food, but that doesn’t mean every single company that sells food is good for society, or even good for the individual people they sell to. Many are the opposite, at least in the US. Look I’m not arguing for banning buying more than one property, though I’m not against it, all I’m saying is that your claim that people “look for” landlords is absurd.











  • A couple times I was in major ice storms, one in mid-April, both storms literally covered the entire town in an inch and half of ice, power was out for a week in some places, trees and branches were down on every single block. The one when I was in high school, we didn’t have a generator, so we would just sit in the house fully bundled up in winter gear with a little propane tank space heater attachment thingy (which kinda scared me, but obviously we didn’t blow up or anything or I would have told the story differently lol). Then we’d go over to our neighbors’ house to sleep, since they did have a generator.

    The other time I was in college, it was the only time classes ever got cancelled. Thankfully our part of town never lost power. You could hear trees and branches breaking and falling all over town for days, it was wild. My buddies and I decided to go disc golfing, lol, we had to give up after hole 5 because the course started to get hilly and it was nearly impossible to stay upright. We also invented snow-quet, croquet in the snow, that same week. It’s a bit of a misnomer though, since it was really about the thick ice layer on top, it was just too good of a portmanteau. A lot more challenging than regular croquet.

    They already explained that, because it’s intended to defrost frosted windows, not because it defrosts frosted condenser coils. How would you even know when to use it if that was the case?

    Spoken like someone talking out of their ass and making shit up, if what you’re saying was true, we wouldn’t be “arguing”

    Spoken like someone arguing for the sake of arguing, aka, a troll. Have fun under your bridge!





  • It’s not always, money is just the best way to wield power in a capitalist society. Look at Christofascists, illegalizing trans people, banning abortion, trying to kickstart the apocalypse, none of that is about money, it’s about exerting control over others. It’s accomplished with money, but money isn’t the end goal.
