@TimurNegru Living in a “transient” resort sounds counterintuitive to community building if that’s the goal. Otherwise, private residences in a resort is quite common
@SenSanders Collect wealth tax and do what with it? Send it to fraudulent “learing centers”? Hundreds of billions if not trillions are wasted under your stewardship in congress every year, yet, you seem to concentrate on a wrong problem.
The minority factor in Russian army is vastly underrated when discussing the course of Ukrainian war. Firstly, ethnic minorities are not so much a minority there. Judging from the casualty lists, minorities are wildly overrepresented on the battlefields as the cannon fodder🧵
@Markzandi There are only 2 variables: 1. Money supply 2. Volume of goods and services. Assuming the capacity of goods and services remained constant (i know there some supply issues) then money printing is the only reason for inflation.
Inflation is in effect a hidden tax. The money that people have saved is robbed of part of its purchasing power, which is quietly transferred to the government that issues new money.
@Costaro88 @KyrallTheGreat @SpencrGreenberg I was born in USSR, government made sure there were no landlords. My parents couldn’t get a house because no one would build any. Government would build some crappy concrete shelters you had to wait for decades. People would way rather pay an immoral landlord if they could.
@joejoe4games @KyrallTheGreat @SpencrGreenberg Don’t have mortgage. Net loss as in net loss, more cash out than in. I think most renters don’t realize how much property taxes, insurance, maintenance, upkeep is involved in ownership. Anytime there is more regulation, “fair system” it’s both renter and landlord who suffer
@KyrallTheGreat @SpencrGreenberg Im a landlord. I had multiple years where i had net loss on my properties, didn’t think of renter badly. I also have rented myself when i thought it made sense (instead of owning). I guess im struggling to see ill-intent in a mutually beneficial and consented arrangement.
@joejoe4games @Bjarni_TS @KyrallTheGreat @SpencrGreenberg I guess what prevents you living in such a cooperative? If it’s a feasible thing to do then why is it not a thing?
@gavinjdaly @homarusboi @davescrivener Dude, you are the one who said it’s impossible. Im just pointing out that it isn’t. Tesla safely builds enormous gigafactories under a year from permit to finish. But you are claiming you can’t put together a dinky 3-story under a year? Wow.
