@yaghsizian@In_awe_of_God@Just_ebube It’s not absurd and a perfectly fitting comparison but I’ll humour you, what exactly is intended for them then? You’ve proposed an approach which ultimately never materialised and resulted in questionable decision. I see no productive reason to double down on your approach
@yaghsizian@In_awe_of_God@Just_ebube No where did they even present the opportunity for your response to be discussed or considered. Like the people in the temple, they came directly to the public space with their decision and have faced the repercussions for the choice. As Jesus would have done.
@yaghsizian@In_awe_of_God@Just_ebube I’ll address the substance when you address the aforementioned question of what the appropriate response is since you take issue with the current criticism
@yaghsizian@theblessedsalt@OVTweetmarck@XBrittanyDukeX Glad we finally get to the point where you admit you don’t think what these people did was bad so you’re using religion as a pretend “gotcha” when actually there is nothing hypocritical about religious people calling this out
@RealDianeYap@xwanyex Imagine comparing a private enterprise to government taxes. If too many people leave one kind of restaurant for another the former will be forced to adjust prices/services or close. No where do governments respond to this movement unless it’s an election cycle
@HarryEmdenfuqs@EudaimoniaEsq The original complaint was not about what makes housing more expensive or what doesn’t. It was a complaint about the mere concept of retaining wealth within the family, your idea still falls into what the complaint was about.
@HarryEmdenfuqs@EudaimoniaEsq Whether you sell the homes and reinvest the proceeds or hand them as is to your descendants you are still “hoarding” assets per the original post.
